    This won't be for everyone, no. It's not a modern fragrance at all. It's a real traditional "perfumey" perfume! I've got to be in the mood to wear this, but when I am, it really hits the spot. ...

    It is very old-fashioned, "retro", powdery scent, reminds me of Chanel no5 (similar aldehydic note), I smell some undefiniable powdery flowers (maybe iris + jasmine) + weird, metallic, "dusty" note...

    Like a lot of other people, I wear this because my mother did when i was little. I have very strong, lovely memories associated with it. I used to sniff my mother's pillow when she left. She'd...

    I used this awhile back. It's flowery and light. Too light, for me, really. But it's elegant and fresh on the right person. I just thought it was too boring for me, too pretty. Too innocent like....

    Oscar is the saddest perfume I have ever smelled. My Mother wore it. Every time I smell it I can envision her sitting sadly at the kitchen table alone, drinking tea and staring down into her...

    This was a gift for Valentine's Day. I had smelled it before, and wanted to throw up from the smell. It smells incredibly strong, and the epitome of "old lady" smell. However, my bf gave it to me...

    My mom no longer wears this, so she passed it on to me. I'd describe Oscar as a very strong, but pretty floral scent. It isn't a fresh floral, it is more of a powdery fragrance with some spicy...

    I have always been really sensitive to scents and can't wear alot of perfumes. Trying to select a scent for myself is nearly always torture (migraines, swollene eyes - I mean torture) so I don't...

    EDT: The current formulation is just OK for me. It is a sweet and safe floral though sort of one-dimensional, overblended. My memory of it from the early nineties is that of a more faceted floral....

    A total scrubber of a smell (can't be classified as a fragrance!) I wonder if this is the same perfume as described in the positive reviews? I'm no stranger to strong or unusual scents (hell, I...

    My first perfume by Oscar de la Renta was an eau de parfum called Ruffles. It was gorgeous. Then it seemed to stop, and I could only get Oscar. A saleswoman told me that it was the same perfume...

    I wore Oscar in the 80's, though it came out in the 70's. It was a lovely fragrance on me then, a creamy white floral with a bit of spice. I used to receive compliments on it. Today, I'm...

    This is horrible - it reminds me of the 1970s. There's nothing classic or timeless about it - it just shouts "70s Retro!!" at me. Endnotes also remind me of Gloria Vanderbilt's "Vanderbilt." ...

    I just discovered this in a scent strip for a Mother's Day ad. I had never tried this before, and I can't believe I've been missing out all these years. It launched in 1977, when I was only 17. It...

    Hi SwedishGirl26! Nice to read your subscription. If you love "old" Oscar de la Renta and RED DOOR, you should try legendary L'heure Bleue by Guerlain and inexpensive Gloria Vanderbilt classic...
