Honestly hated this so much simply because it smelled like baby powder

Long lasting soft scent

Smells like a baby powder

Smells very much like a sweet baby powder. It made me sneeze. My husband and I both agree it smells like baby powder. I would say to wear for workouts due to the powdery odor. Floral scents also. Not something I would buy again but may wear it since I have it.

Is it floral? It’s nice at first but ages too sweet and sour.

Absolutely amazing scent got to get more.

Powdery. Not for me.

This one is not for me. It's too powdery and smells like a dog shampoo meets bug spray meets baby powder. It just doesn't work for me or my body chemistry

Not terrible. Just not for me. It smells a little aged. Like something an older woman would like and I am an older woman LOL. But it did last long. If someone is sensitive to headaches, I would not get this one.

The smell stays longer with me then others. Elegant smell

One of my favorites!

Not my favorite

Very strong scent so apply sparingly lasted well good fragrance

OK not too bad

Smells like you work in a head shop surrounded my incense, which i don't hate but it's a bit too powdery. If it had a bit more musk it would be great. Lasts all day though.

Old lady smell

If you’re going for heavy scent of old lady, this is for you. I am not looking to smell like that so it’s a hard pass for me.

Doesn't last more than 1 hour.

I really remember liking this fragrance. It smells similar but I believe my taste has changed. Smells like an older person.

I found Oscar to be an unpleasantly bitter fragrance that will not be added to my collection.

Smells like baby talc. Really strong if you spray more than 1 time. Powdery

Too powdery.

Extremely mature sent. Like French soap you would buy as decoration for your bathroom. I am definitely exchanging as I will never wear this. I think my grandmother, God rest her soul, would have loved it.

Too strong and extremely musky

Did not like the perfume at all. The scent wasn’t sweet or pleasant in my opinion. Smelled dusty. I exchanged for a new one.

I love it! It's lite and doesn't give me a headache!

This perfume immediately reminded me of Shalimar -- it had that old-fashioned spiciness to it, but in the best way. It isn't the mellowest perfume, so maybe not the best choice for the office, but it smells amazing.

Didn't like it at all ... it smells very old, powdery and awful

Have loved it since the beginning.

Expected to love it. Description is typically up my alley. Smells old.

This is one of my very favorite perfumes.....it smells great when I put it on and gets better the longer its on.

my sister loves it

I HATE IT HATE IT

Based on the description I really expected to love this but when it arrived it was not my style at all. It was far too mature of a scent, and reminded me of the strong perfumy fragrances that women often wore in the 90s.

Not a favorite

Chose this because I had a tiny little sample bottle of it and ran out. This scent reminds me of my great aunt who passed away when I was very young so this is a very nostalgic scent I wear only every once in a while. It is a bit "old lady" if you don't like that sort of thing it won't be for you but for someone that scents bring back old feelings this could remind you of a hug from your favorite old lady ??

Love it

I love the smell because it reminds me of my younger days.

I love this fragrance. Classic.

It really changes - at first it's horrible but it does change to a softer fragrance. First impression isn't a good one, though.

Definitely spells like spicy baby powder and soap. I imagine a older church lady wearing this and handing out peppermints. Not a fan.

This really ended up smelling just like bar soap and gardenia. I wasn't a fan.

Old lady smell. Was not a fan

Like the most overwhelming scent of old lady out on the town

Bought it for my mom for Christmas and she loves this scent she's looked for it for a while and a full bottle is out of our price range right now but this was perfect especially since she does not wear perfume daily

Love it

Smells like an old lady!

Smells like something my grandmother would wear. Do not like it.

Wouldn't even give it to my least favorite golden girl.

Oh no. At first it has a very, very strong baby-powder scent. It dries down to baby powder, soap, nag champa incense, and a general "old lady" smell. Fortunately, after a few hours, the incense smell becomes a bit more dominant, otherwise this would've been a one-star rating. Definitely exchanging this one.

No can do. Way too strong and not a pleasant scent. I couldn’t pinpoint a particular note, it was just in your face. I immediately put it back in the box and requested an exchange.

I like this scent, but you can't use a lot. A little goes a long way. It could be strong for others. Wouldn't use it everyday. You don't want to get used to the scent and over use it.

Smells horrible. Who would wear this. I can't even stand I pit it right back in the box

I love this perfume,so I'm so happy to have it.

This was my first scent box and it wasn’t a good start. Wish there were negative star ratings I’d give -5. Oscar smells horrible and gave me a headache, not at all what I expected and I was really excited to try new scents. I’m going back through my calendar and checking reviews for all the other fragrances so hopefully I won’t be disappointed again.

Too "old lady" smell. Powdery smelling.

Smells like really unpleasantly scented soap.

SMELLS TERRIBLE!! Even the dog gave me the stink eye!! If you're under 65 KEEP SCROLLING!! This perfume doesn't smell anything like the notes listed. It's a strong, musty scent that sits heavy on the skin. Smells like the perfume your grandmother forgot about in 1932. 1st perfume in over a year to be sent back!

Was not as expected based on notes. Not a youthful pleasant scent.

Not for me. Too strong, gave me headache and smelled powdery.

Could it have been old ? I didn't like it this time. I usually love it ! Been a favorite for many years.

I chose this based on the notes and it was not as expected. I didn't like it at all. If you are under 70 years old, do not get this.

I love the scent. I've had so many compliments from the scent. I wish it lasted longer.

This smells horrible to me! I picked it based on the notes listed and it smells the complete opposite.

Smells nice. Has a powdery sweet smell. But didn't last that long. It faded within a couple hours. I wouldn't purchase a bottle based on longevity.

Love this perfume. I gets lots of compliments when I wear it.

I haven't worn this scent for about 30 years. I loved it so much but a friend of mine was gifted a big bottle of this & literally took a bath in this EVERY DAY! I just stopped wearing it because it was overkill. It still smells as beautiful as I remember it. The coriander, jasmine, clove & lavender really seem to come alive & linger in this sweet, powdery scent. A little definitely goes a very long way. If someone is heavy handed wearing a scent it can definitely be a turnoff & it can become a negative experience. Will definitely buy a bottle of this again. Oscar had created some great fragrances.

Its a classic. Long wearing. Any changes throughout the day are only slight, and yet it stays strong. A little DOES go a long way, just FYI if you are trying it for the first time.

For my first scent, it was a winner! I liked it & a little is all I need.

It smells just like soap and not the good kind

Way too strong for me. I sprayed it one time and it was over powering and the scent did not agree with me. Very musky and heavy. It did have some serious staying power tho, even after washing my arm I could still smell it on me the rest of the day!

Love it!

A little over powering, but nice all in all.

Love it. A little is all you need.

I love it. Lasts a long time without reapplying.

One of my favorite scents

The scent is over powering. It’s not for me.

It is very strong and heavy. No overly bad just strong for my taste.

I actually made a face when I first smelled this one... it reminds me of the cheap, stale perfume I used to find in my mom's bathroom collecting dust as I was a kid. It's very musky

My all time fave.

I love it, it smells great

This perfume is more for the mature woman. I love it and Chanel #5...I always have compliments ...

Smells wonderful

This is my favorite summer fragrance. It lasts and is so refreshing and light.

... very light fragrance not over powering ...

Having been wearing Oscar for many years, my favourite everyday fragence

product is very good and received in great time. My aunt has used it since it's introduction in 1977

love this product!

Very good value for money and delivered within time limit. When ordered didn't realise it was being shipped from abroad.

This perfume is just gorgeous

Can someone tell me the difference between EDT and EDP? I know what the Parfum is but can't find it. The EDT doesn't last one me. Just wondering if the EDP is more similar to the Parfum.

One of very few perfumes that don't change for the worse on me.

def not for the younger gals

Put it on warmer body parts, and even hours later when it seems to have worn off, body warmth triggers its aroma.

i have been wearing this for 32 years, kids, teens and adults love it. i am always being stopped and asked what it is. i love it.

I have gotten more compliments on this fragrance than any other that I have worn over the years. It makes you want to inhale. The compliments I get are very rewarding!

I started wearing Oscar 26 years ago when I really couldn't afford it, but it was my special favorite for every gift time. Now I buy it no matter what, people identify me with this fragrance, and I'm told over and over how delicious I smell. I wouldn't wear anything else.

One must have to possess the right body chemistry to wear this. I tried this maybe 15 years ago, and on me this turned into ragweed and body odor within seconds. Two other scents have done this to me, they were E. Taylor's Passion and CK's Obsession. Must be a same ingredient in these that does not like my chemistry.

Love this one. If you like No. 5, you will love this one. My new everyday scent!!

3 months after the posted message and I am still loving this perfume. It lingers and opens as the day developes. By mid afternoos it smells just perfect. I used to kind of like Jeraviens by worth. But I couldn't wear it because the integrity of the perfume would change after 10 minutes into something bitter. With Oscar it goes on beautiful and it blooms even more. Great lasting power. The next morning I wake up I can still smell it. The corriander and cinnemon gives it the punch it has like a cool glass of pepsi. love it and wont ever go to anything else. I feel clean and sexy and spicy when I wear this lovely perfume.

I have been through so many different perfumes and returned so many that I seriously tought I have a disorder in regards to perfumes. But I found Oscar and I was cured. It is clean and warm and spicy and modern and mature and young and all together. It has it all. Strong yet gentle. Confident yet humble. Fresh for summer and warm for winter. I started with a 60ml. Yesterday I bought myself a 100ml and I will sell every other perfume I own in a garage sale! Thank you Oscar.....

I heard several places online that this is one of Hillary Clinton's favorite. I know it is so silly, but I so dislike Hillary that I can't wear this as it would always remind me of someone I don't like.

I love Oscar & I love Mugler's Angel, but I've never thought of wearing them together as you suggested, so I gave it a try & you're right! Wow, they really do smell great together! Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

I finally ordered a small bottle to see if it would work with my chemistry, but was quite disappointed, this smells old-lady to me, just my opinion, do not want to offend any die hard fans, but this just didn't do it for me.

These are probably little girls used to wearing that fruity or foody smelling crap you find these days. This is a rich and beautiful floral that is so feminine yet grown up.

What I don't understand is why this perfume is being bashed by people. Do none of you realize that perfume mixes with your body chemistry and that is what gives you the ultimate smell. If it doesn't live up to your expectations, don't "NOT" recommend it to someone whose body chemistry is completely different. My mom has been wearing this scent for the last 25+ yrs and nothing reminds me of her more. And my mom is only 53! That is NOT old lady! Stop hating so much and just move on to the next perfume if this isn't for you. And yes, I do love wearing it myself, even as a child I loved it.

Hello ladies. I was at the local retailer looking for some good deals on mens fragrances. While digging thru the cluster of gift sets and boxes of fragrance, I heard a woman yell, " This smells so good! This is the best perfume I have ever smelled!" Being a fragrance fanatic, male of female, I had to know what caused her excitement. I walked over to this woman and asked, "Let me smell it", as she was sniffing her hand. She gave me he hand and I sniffed. I was sure it was "White Diamonds". To my surprise, she said "Oscar " and showed me the bottle. Do any of you get the same conclusion?

this is one of those fragrances I wore on and off over the years...and no it's not an old lady scent...I wore this when I was 19...mind you I was a refined 19 not a "teeny bopper" type...(ralph by ralph lauren is more for those types) However, Oscar really does have it all...the musk, the sweet fragrant flowers and the scent of just washed skin...it just doesn't get any better than that! Men and women do love this one and some of you were talking about mixing fragrances with oscar ...well oscar is amazing mixed with thierry muegler's Angel....just one little spray of each and it's a little piece of heaven!!

This perfume gives me an upset perfume. It is too strong. I have to take an asprin to calm it down. I won't get it again when I run out

I have been wearing orcar dailyfor at least 25 yrs. I use the the eau de toilette deodorant and body lotion, without I feel undressed! I have never smelled anything quite like it and whenever I try something else which is rarely, I don't feel right! It is a timeless scent full of class and elegance and can be worn day or evening. Unfortunatel I'm having difficulty buying the body lotion in Belgium where I live. for some reason it has been discontinued,so I'm looking for another source. Thank you Oscar for this WONDERFUL scent and please never stop producing it as long as I live.XXX

I agree with Chrissy. Oscar was my first designer fragrance, discovered on a sample strip. After that, I bought everything in the set. I have a large collection of fragrances and Oscar is definately at the very top. Classy and elegant.

You get some perfumes that are timeless; no matter which era you wear them in, they never become tired, old or dated. This IS NOT one of them. I ordered this online because it sounded like a scent that I'd love. Unfortunately this wasn't to be the case. The minute I sprayed it on I was immediately taken back to my childhood of the 70s. Although I'm not aware of anyone close to me who used to wear this, it's SUCH a 70's scent. when I smell this I think of hair-spray, elevator music and Charlies Angels (Kate jackson, Farah Fawcett etc.) It's just too dated for me. Added to that it doesn't really suit my chemistry. This scent reminds me somewhat of Vanderbilt (Gloria Vanderbilt). I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this scent now. I'm only thankful I didn't pay too much for it.

This scent is amazingly beautiful! It is soft and comforting. Some people wear it all year round, but I like it best in the summer. Excellent!

I have been searching for a signature scent for years. I have just about tested everything out there from the common to the exotic. I recently was reminded of Oscar due to a magazine test strip. Very unusual to see this scent in an ad that way but I suppose it was a Mother's Day thing. Anyway..I remembered how lovely this scent was and getting a compliment from someone when I had only spritzed it on at a department store counter. I think I shyed away from it because I thought it may be to strong or I just dismissed it as one of those been around forever scents. Of course like many fragrance junkies I am easily lured into trying the latest scents. I recently purchased the 8 oz bottle and the powder also. I am so glad that magazine ad reminded me of this truly lovely feminine scent. I have to say the powder smells just as lovely as the edt and really would be enough to have you smelling heavenly all day if you didnt want to apply anything else. This definitely is one of those been around forever scents. But what I realize now is thats a good thing !! I just turned 40 if anyone is wondering about the age thing. I dont think this is an older scent. That being said its not a teenagers scent at all. Its definitely for someone who wants to feel feminine and confident. Just love it. I think I am done with my search. Too many lack luster potions in fancy bottles out there these days. All advertising and really no allure to the fragrance at all. Tired of spending money on all those celeb scents or designer scents only to be bored with them soon after. Oscar has what I am looking for in a fragrance. I live in a climate that is warm most of the year and I dont find it too much. I would however not apply too much at first. It has great staying power and as others have mentioned it really blooms through the day. Hope this helps someone who is one the fence about Oscar. I say go for it. Who wants to smell like everyone one else anyway. Make a statement and get a compliment or two. Thanks Oscar!! :)

cartier must--vanilla notes bring out the best of both.....been wearing and mixing oscar for more years then i can remember.

This is an elegant evening perfume comprised of jasmine, lavendar, coriander, basil and peach. It is a complex floral. I don't get any armpit smell from it. I think Bianca is smelling her own armpits and mistaking it for perfume.

I'm surprised at the high rating for this perfume. It is your typical arm-pit smelling powder perfume that old women usually wear. Just nasty.

I didn't think this one was worth keeping, I returned it the next day. Just had an annoying smell on me. Not pretty either.

This is a great scent. Reminds me of the scented breeze from my mother's backyard, after the orchids have been blooming at the end of a very sunny day.

There are 3 new versions of Oscar to be released: Oscar Bamboo in pretty green and pink packaging and containing fresh notes including bamboo leaf; Oscar Citrus in yellow & blue packaging; and Oscar Violet in red and violet packaging, all in bottles based on the original flower design.

has anyone ever considered using a peach scented fragrance or cream before using oscar to bring out the peach notes and make it a bit sweeter, younger? new twist? or maybe vanilla...any thoughts?

the body lotion that came along with the eau de toilette was just wonderful !! most times just the lotion was enough and the perfume was not required ! i often wore either the perfume or just the lotion coz both were superb and required no layering.

i got this as a present many years ago..... i opened it with no expectations as it was not among the top 3 best sellers or a much raved about perfume....... but the moment i had a whiff of the 1st spray i new that this is going to be a fragrance i shall remember for ever !! its not too strong so you can wear it day or night and if worn with a light hand it can evoke an aura of a very feminine and genteel classy lady......this perfume calls for soft spoken, refined, elegant behaviour.The fragrance of a very beautiful woman whose very presence evokes sensuality and quickened heart beats......

For all the lovers of Oscar who are looking for a change, try Dolce & Gabbana feminine (the one in the red suede box). It is similar in style, a spicy floral and was the next perfume I wore after many years of Oscar. (I have since become very fickle and now have a wardrobe of favourites). Don't wear the same perfume day-in, day-out as people tire of you smelling the same and you are missing out on lots of fabulous delights waiting to be discovered. Have a wardrobe of scents for different occasions and climates.

This is the ONE fragrance that I have come back to over and over again. The first year I wore it, I used to go up to the perfume counter and say ..."this is so delicious it should be edible!" I get compliments all the time!

I live in east Tennessee and cannot find the oscar deoderant ANYWHERE in this area at this time I have used the deoderant for over 20 years why is it so hard to find at this particular time and when will it be available to the local department stores..I'm just about out!!!!!Please help!

it is sooo feminine reminds me of what fragrances use to smell like years ago. Definitely not old lady, too many young girls today like to wear those stanky scents that smell really terrible.

I purchased the gift set a couple of years ago because I like the name "Oscar". I had a beautiful white cat named Oscar and he had to be put to sleep because he was deathly ill with heart disease. He was my sweet baby of a cat, loving , soft , pretty and comforting. Maybe it is silly but I got the perfume thinking it would smell sweet and pretty and remind me of him. Wrong. I do occasionally wear it and my husband loves it on me but I cant get myself to enjoy it on me. Instead I enjoy having it on my dresser next to my picture of my beautiful Oscar.

smooth sensations. i luv the 8.0 size. heaven on earth. a balance in the wind. awesome. very nice.

no dark secrets. the real thing. levels of ectasy. use it anytime enchanting it is. very nice

I tested this around Christmas, and found it pleasant, if average. Bought it the other day(found it on sale)and can't stand it. I think before I didn't have it on long enough(took a shower), because at first it's fine. But after awhile, it smells spicy and musty, kind of like body odor. Absolutely awful!

I have newly discoverec Oscar and had my first compliment from a lady..."Who is wearing that Beauuutiful perfume!" Well i wear all sort and nobdy has ever commented like this before on any i have worn. I love it. The bath and body products too.

I am never without a bottle! I love perfume, therefore; I am always trying something new and I also have some other favorites I TRY to keep on hand, but Oscar I will not be without. I've been wearing it since the early 90's and not only do I get many, many compliments on it (from women & men), but I enjoy wearing this pleasing scent very much myself - It really uplifts my mood. And when they ask what it is, all you have to say is "Oscar" and they know! You just can't go wrong with Oscar!!!

the highlite of my day. exquisite, the aroma elevates in time. grows as you go, wonderful.

I wish i had discovered this gorgeous perfume earlier. I absolutley love it. I keeper in every sense of the owrd. magical:)

I love Oscar, everybody loves it on me. For years I found it heavenly, but now I don't get the same feeling anymore. I'd like to find another *heavenly* pefurme. I've been trying tons of them, without success. I also like SO d'Oscar and l'Air du Temps, but without the deep love I have for Oscar. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

There is no better smell I bought my first bottle and now I'm REPEAT BUYER and will continue to buy

Love this scent. I chose it for my wedding day.

I am re-rating Oscar with a higher rating after wearing it to a dinner party and receiving loads of compliments. I wish I could enjoy it as much as everyone who enjoys it on me. Liking this more and more as I wear it so give it a chance it may take a week or so to get used to it.

I thought this fragrance would be amazing based on the positive comments so i purchased online without trying. Dissapointed, nothing special the drydown is nice, reminds me a little of Vanderbilt which is sweeter than Oscar. Will keep for a gift. Back to my chanel no 19 my current favorite but I am going to try First by Van Cleef and Arpels.

I had the most beautiful teacher while I was in second grade. She was absolutely a true lady: classy, elegant, refined, and demure. And she smelled absolutely heavenly. In class when she would walk by my desk, that lovely scent lingered. One day I asked her how she smelled so good. She said she owes it all to "Oscar." Being in second grade, I didn't know that she was referring to the name of the perfume! I have always associated that scent with the virtues of a true lady. I swore that when "I grow up" I was going to smell as good as my second grade teacher. Well, when I became older and aspired to being a true, classic lady myself, I discovered what my teacher meant when she said "Oscar." That scent was "Oscar" by Oscar de la Renta. It's the ultimate feminine fragrance, and every time I wear it, I feel like a true lady. Its scent mesmerizes others, and I'm always asked "what is that lovely fragrance you have on?" I always tell them, "I owe it all to Oscar." I'd recommend this fragrance to any woman wishing to unleash an essence of utter femininity. It truly is a memorable perfume...and everyone will associate you with it because it's that great.

A nice powdery fragrance. It actually smells young to me. Very feminine and light. It's a classic.

This was my signature scent for many years. Well-dressed men would stop me in the street to find out the name so they could buy it. I have never come across anyone who doesn't like Oscar. To me it is the perfect balance of flowers, spice and other luscious ingredients. It is very feminine and well balanced like other classics such as L'air du temps and Fidji. I'm taking a break from it only because I've discovered lots of other wonderful scents and too many of my friends are now wearing Oscar. The Oscar bath products are gorgeous also.

After I read so many good opinions about this fragrance I was so intrigued I bought it. Waste of money!!! It's a fragrance for older ladies, very havy and musky.

I have worn Oscar since the '80s. I receive many compliments from both men & women. It is my signature. I won't wear any other fragrance.

At one time, I wore this regularly as a day perfume. One of my kids particularly loved the perfume itself on me, but wasn't all that crazy about the spray. Now, I believe I have outgrown the spray, and have a full huge bottle just sitting there, along with an old bottle of Fiji.

I've always bought this for every woman I've dated since college... and it smells GREAT. Very sexy, and very feminine. There is no better fragrance line than Oscar's!

I HAVEN'T COME ACROSS A PERFUME THAT SMELLS SO HORRENDOUS, IT STINKS.

I get more compliments on this than I have on any other perfume! It is my favorite!

I have tried Oscar many times..I have a bottle..its a truly pretty scent. Its not too heavy..but its going to be noticed. It starts out a bit strong but the dry down is really powdery and lovely. It also seems to have a clean smell to it. I definitely think this one is one you have to try on yourself. But all in all its a classic.

I was given a bottle of this fragrance 14 years ago. At the time, it smelled wonderful in the bottle, but dried down to something I can only describe as "sweaty thighs". Sadly, I put the bottle away in a cabinet. I recently took it out to try again (I'd forgotten that I had it!) and was amazed at how good it still smelled in the bottle. My body chemistry has changed in those years and I was delighted to discover that I can now wear Oscar! A light, clean, feminine scent that lays lightly on the skin like morning mist on a tropical leaf. What a joy to be able to wear this fragrance at last!

Like many others I strayed from Oscar but have returned to the fold.This will always remind me of Cruises in the Pacific and warm tropical nights. I am glad to return to this wonderful Perfume with all the happy memories it triggers and that indulgent Fragrance it gives off.

I adore Oscar - have been trying to stray and have tested so many other fragrances recently - Oscar is clean, fresh, happy and quite classy - alot of the newer frangrances have a synthetic smell and tend to smell alike - long story short - just bought another bottle of Oscar yesterday...just can't stray.

I discovered this in the 80s - loved it in an instant and used it for 5 yrs. then tired of it (all you fellow fragrance junkies know how that happens sometimes). Well, I was sampling testers at a department store fragrance counter the other day, and rediscovered this beautiful fragrance. Bought some on the spot and am enjoying it once again. It is so chic and femenine.

I see all the men who've posted give Oscar rave reviews. I've worn it for maybe 20 years, though it's too heady for Summer in Honolulu. It's white flowers and and sophistication. I wear it when I want to be noticed. My new love is Ibiza Hippie, though it doesn't last.

Quite underrated... It's a great floral oriental scent, nice woodsy/spicy background. I never think of this one until I reach for it on a day when I don't know what else to wear. No, I'm not a grandmother, (Some say it as if the word itself was a swear, for Pete's sake!) and yes, I have a brain, good taste and I know perfume.

Try layering the cologne over the body lotion. The shower gel is wonderful too. I don't understand people saying oscar is strong and/ or bitter. It is a very light and powdery scent. (Now something like Red Door and Giorgio I would call strong). Anyway, I've worn oscar for almost 20 years and I haven't found anything I've liked better since.

I'VE BEEN WEARING OSCAR FOR YEARS. DAY & NIGHT..NO MATTER WHERE OR WHEN I HAVE IT ON...AND I AM NOT LIEING...SOMEONE ALWAAAYYYSSSS COMPLIMENTS ME ON MY FRAGRANCE. NOW YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT. IT MUST JUST GO WELL WITH MY CHEMISTRY. DID I TELL YOU ABOUT ALL MY OTHER PERFUME BOTTLES THAT ARE NOW COVERED WITH DUST FROM SITTING ON A SHELF FOR SO LONG? THOSE WHO LOVE IT KNOW ITS QUALITY.

This is absolutely wonderful, classy, seductive, all in one! It's great!

I agree with Ellen, I've worn Oscar for many years. It's my favorite. I've tried other fragrances, but I come back to Oscar.

Try wearing Oscar and Obsession together. Try them both on at your favorite department store. They mix so well, and that "my grandmother would wear it" scent gets a modern update with the musky Obsession.

Must be the type of oil in your skin, Oscar is light and has a heavenly scent. You need to wear a fragrance that you can't smell on yourself after you had it on for a while, one that doesn't overwhelm you, when you find that fragrance stick with it.

Must be the type of oil in your skin, Oscar is light and has a heavenly scent. You need to wear a fragrance that you can't smell on yourself after you had it on for a while, one that doesn't overwhelm you, when you find that fragrance stick with it.

Still love this perfume after all these years. Its wonderful! Its best for nite time use, but I have worn it during the day as well.

This scent is so unpleasant ! I tried to like it - i thought that if i kept wearing it i would somehow get used to it but it is just downright unpleasant - something bitter about it. This scent is something my great-grandmother would wear

I just smelled Intrusion yesterday and it is gorgeous! It's a rich sensual powdery slightly sweet floral, kind of soapy. It's a little like Gloria Vanderbilt (the part that isn't like Oscar if that makes any sense) but much much better.

is a lovely fragrance and many scents have been influenced by it: Red Door, Senso, Gloria Vanderbilt, Balahe and probably more I haven't smelled.

I like "Oscar". Nice fragrance with a caracter, strong, sophisticated... And answer to Dani: "Intrusion" is elegant but very formal fragrance (let's say "for office wear" - I mean, it is not sexy at all). It is kind of floral-aldehydic fragrance with some woody notes.

Hi. I like this perfume. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what Oscar De La Renta's perfume "Intrusion" smells like. Thank you :-)

My wife has worn Oscar for years! I can't get enough of it!

I have worn Oscar since my days on Dallas. JR couldn't get enough of me!! (A little humor) Just wanted the girls to know that Oscar is the way to go. Love ya all. Charlene

Oscar to me is very close in smell to Beauitful by Estee Lauder. Yet, I find myself more attracted to Oscar to me it has a nice soapy floral note. Estee's Beautiful can't hold a candle to it. jil

Go figure. I asked a co-worker what she was wearing during a break - she told me it was Oscar, which was heavenly on her. I bought a small bottle of it and, like Aromatic Elixir, a little bit goes a long, long way. On me I give it a 2, on my friend a definite 10. Gave me a headache, but most strong perfumes do.

Wonderful scent. Fits for both summer and winter. It is amazingly long lasting. One spray lasts until the evening even though it is not a strong perfume. Since I bought it and tried it, I won't be able to live without it. Classy, sweet, light, romantic. It has everything!!

I just love Oscar. I always receive compliments every time I wear it. Just a wonderful smell.

I wear this scent every day. I feel like a million dollars.

A little too floral but nice

This is a very classy fragrance, however it smells more like something my mother would wear. This isn't realy a scent for younger people. I am 25 and I feel "old" when wearing it.

I have worn Oscar since I was 16 years old. That means about 20 years now!!! Oh My!!!! I very rarely wear anything else. Usually when I wear something else it is only from a sample of something, trial size, etc. I have had so many compliments over the years from both men and women. My daughter is turning 13 this month and I am giving her a small bottle of Oscar. She has always thought she was so special when she got to wear a splash of Mom's. So, on goes the tradition!!!!

Yes I know, Oscar is a classic fragrance...but like a fifties bombshell it will always be beautifull and sexy. Oscar is divinely poetic....a bit erotic, like a Baudelaire poem..It is the "sublime feminine" of fragrances..femininity in a bottle, always and forever bewitching yet pure..oh yeah...love it.

This was a great fragrance- in its time. IMHO, it has been overused. Too many people wear it, and like a good song played again and again on the radio, it's lost it's shine. Move on, find something new and original, something that people will have to *ask* you the name of...everyone recognizes this one- they won't need to ask.

My favorite Winter cologne. Drives men wild.

Oscar got me through college with it's clean, carefree fragrance. Now it just smells like freshly mown grass. Go figure!

Very sweet; spicy-sweet; mouth-watering; balsamic; cola candy; warm spice; soap; vanilla.

My woman of 40 years ...wears Oscar or nothing at...all

I buy Oscar for all the women in my life. It mixes with most anybody's body chemistry. It's clean and fresh while being sexy and sophisticated but never overwhelming.

I agree with cheryl it really stinks. Would not recommend it.

"Oscar" is my signature scent and my husband and I call it "our scent"! I have worn it since 1979, wore it on our wedding day, and always get compliments on it. Men love it, and a little goes a long way..but it's not heavy or cloying. I wear other fragrances, but this one I never tire of and always continue to wear. It's a beautiful floral/oriental. Give it a try. It's lovely and I only wear the really classic, sophisticated, European fragrances- my husband is very picky, as well, and loves Oscar.Women also ask me what I'm wearing when I have on Oscar. This is the scent my husband buys me and that says alot! Try it.

This perfume is so strong and unpleasant, that you will get a head ache very soon

i love this perfume!! it's so sensual, but fun and spontaneous at the same time. it also is a good companion and substitute to Chanel 5.
