I have so many good memories with this perfume. This was my Aunt Doris(Doe Doe's) signature throughout the 1980's, and smelling it always brings me back in time. Oscar is very powdery/sweet with...

This review is for the pure parfum mini. I must have missed this one in the 70's; I had never smelled Oscar before. It is a floriental with a good kick of tuberose. To me, it's something of a...

Oscar has been my go to perfume since my mother gave it to me for my sweet sixteen. It's soft, gentle and has always quietly screamed "classic". It's not overpowering, it's not a perfume that...

I wore this perfume for a while in the late 1980's, and the secretaries at work would always sniff and say, "oh, that's Oscar isn't it?" Well, that became annoying... so I moved on to other...
