Our verdict on So de la Renta: Favourite

This 90s floral fruity is a divisive one. For some, it's a sophisticated, fresh and enduring classic. For others, it's dated, weak, or smells like cheap bathroom spray. Body chemistry is definitely a factor here, so try before you buy.

About

So de la Renta opens with a vibrant burst of watermelon, kiwi, and clementine, swiftly joined by a delicate gardenia and freesia. The heart blossoms with a lush bouquet of jasmine, tuberose, and peony, softened by aquatic lotus. As it settles, a sweet plum and comforting musk emerge, grounded by a subtle vanilla finish. It's a journey from sparkling fruit to creamy, elegant florals.
