Oscar de la Renta Oscar Velvet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Oscar Velvet opens with Dewberry, Plum Blossom, Lotus, and Pear, settles into a heart of Datura, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Iris, and Orchid. Oscar de la Renta's Oscar Velvet carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive 'fruitchouli' that some adore for its smooth sweetness and others dismiss as a generic, fleeting vanilla bomb. It's a soft, feminine scent for those who like their gourmands gentle.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Oscar Velvet opens with a sweet, jammy burst of blackcurrant and dewberry, brightened by plum blossom and pear. This fruity introduction soon melts into a soft, white floral heart dominated by magnolia and orange blossom, touched by the elusive datura. The dry-down is a creamy, powdery blend of vanilla and tonka bean, grounded by subtle amber and iris, with just a whisper of patchouli preventing it from becoming cloyingly sweet.
