What does ****** d'Oscar (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with a bright lift of Sicilian lemon and citron. The heart gathers Egyptian jasmine, Parma violet, iris, orange blossom and tuberose into a floral bouquet, with the powdery and fruity sides coming forward. In the base, vetiver, heliotrope, tonka bean, musk and amber soften and sweeten the scent, leaving a light gourmand warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters read it as feminine. Lolita Lempicka L'Eau en Blanc and Rancé 1795 Hélène (2010) have a close profile.
