Oscar de la Renta Volupté is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1992, created by Sophia Grojsman and Nicholas Calderone. Volupté opens with Cyclamen, Mandarin, Osmanthus, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Lily Of The Valley, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tuberose. Oscar de la Renta's Volupté carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

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.
