Oscar de la Renta 2016 EDP
Rose
Oscar de la Renta Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Rose opens with Lily of the Valley, Freesia, and Pear, settles into a heart of Rose and Peony, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Amber. Oscar de la Renta's Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
This is a simple, dewy, fresh rose scent that divides opinion. Some find it a 'gorgeous' hidden gem, especially for the price, others call it weak, underwhelming, and 'soapy'. If you're after a straightforward rose, it might be your jam-but temper expectations on performance.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and often-described 'light' profile makes it highly suitable for casual and office wear, as it's unlikely to offend. The frequently mentioned poor longevity and soft sillage mean it requires reapplication for dates or formal events.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.
In standard patch-test panels
- Geraniol
Other declarable allergens
- Synthetic musk
The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
