Oscar de la Renta Esprit d’Oscar Eau de Parfum 100 ml Spray is a refined, modern reinterpretation of the classic Oscar fragrance, launched in 2011. Created by perfumer Frank Voelkl, it opens with a bright, sparkling burst of Sicilian lemon, bergamot, and citron. The heart unfolds into a luxurious bouquet featuring Egyptian jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose, and the creamy sweetness of heliotrope. The base offers creamy sandalwood, warm musk, tonka bean, and grounding vetiver, resulting in a beautifully balanced floral oriental that's both comforting and sophisticated.
