Oscar de la Renta Volupté is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1992, created by Sophia Grojsman and Nicholas Calderone. The fragrance opens with Mandarin, Freesia, Osmanthus, and Cyclamen, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Lotus, Heliotrope, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Tuberose, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Amber.

Our verdict on Volupté: Acquired

Volupté is a polarising floral bomb from the 90s, often drawing comparisons to Tresor but with its own unique, sometimes sharp, character. Not for the faint-hearted, it's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a loyal following for its bold, complex charm.

Its significant projection and longevity make it less ideal for a formal office setting. However, its complex, rich floral nature and warm drydown lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, with some finding it suitable for casual wear too.

About

Opens with a vibrant, watery burst of melon and mandarin, quickly diving into an opulent heart of mimosa and a heady bouquet of yellow and white florals, including creamy ylang-ylang and spicy carnation, often perceived as violet. The dry down introduces a warm, enveloping base of earthy patchouli, amber, sandalwood, and a faint whisper of incense, adding depth and a touch of powdery sophistication.
