So de la Renta

So de la Renta by Oscar de la Renta, from 1997 and composed by Ilias Ermenidis, is a fruity floral with a creamy, sweet edge. Flowers lead clearly, while gourmand sweetness, spice, musk, freshness and citrus play smaller roles.

The opening is a lively mix: gardenia and freesia among kiwi, mango, watermelon and clementine, with a touch of cardamom. The result is juicy and tropical, sparkling and cool at once. The heart is a lush white bouquet of jasmine sambac, tuberose and narcissus, with peony and lotus keeping it fresh and petal-light. In the base, plum adds a dark, ripe sweetness while vanilla and musk give a soft, warm finish.

Opinions on longevity vary: many find it long lasting, while a minority report it weak. The trail is mostly moderate. It is voted for spring and summer, mainly in the daytime, and suits sunny days out, garden parties and someone who enjoys a cheerful, fruit-filled floral with a creamy heart.
