Oscar for Men

Oscar for Men from Oscar de la Renta, released in 1999, is a spicy, floral amber with a citrus lift. Spice, flowers and amber lead together, with citrus strongly present and green and aromatic touches.

It opens with pepper for a dry bite, bergamot and mandarin orange for bright citrus, and fir resin for a resinous, piney freshness. The heart is full and spicy: nutmeg and cloves bring warmth, while rose, jasmine, lily, lavender and violet leaf add a floral, slightly herbal body. The base is warm and balsamic, with balsam fir giving a resinous depth, incense a light smoke, vanilla sweetness, leather a smooth texture, and sandalwood and musk a creamy finish.

Most wearers describe it as long lasting, with a strong to moderate trail. Interestingly, it is voted for spring and summer and strongly for daytime. That suggests a confident scent for daytime wear, applied lightly, for someone who enjoys an old-school spicy masculine.
