The blue hour without arrogance.
Head and heart:Desired melancholy.

Much softer, more restrained, more human than L'Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette, not too flowery, citrusy or sweet but harmonious and soft.
It is getting late and delicate young flowers will soon close. Oscar wears melancholy on his cheeks and a tiny drop of vanilla on his buds.

The fragrance is rather quiet and close to the skin, not wanting to take me completely for itself like the Blue Hour, but sitting dutifully on my hand and accompanying me in a floating gait, without pushing a single scent under my nose, although I can perceive many A fragrance for the day and the night, but fits better in the evening, because not so cheerful and happy.

Evening hours have always made me sad and my heart gets heavy at the sight of the setting sun and red sky. Even though I don't like seeing the sun during the day. But even though these hours make my heart sad, I love this time of day, because happiness is not enough for people. The heart wants to live and ache, to savor life to the full, to remember and mourn.
How wonderful that there are perfumes that can also break our hearts a little. Here, dear Oscar has brought me a memory, I don't know which one, except that after two hours it seems strange and cheerful again. The kind woman has washed her hands, powdered her face and looks much livelier and younger.
But she is also allowed to stay. Too much pain is not good in the long run. It's better this way.

And from here on I say, bye Guerlain, hello, Mr. Oscar! The night can come.

Armfuls of Purple Flowers Laid on a Warm Ambery Base
Top Notes: Sicilian Lemon, Cedrat
Heart Notes: Egyptian Jasmine, Orange Flower, Tuberose, Parma Violet, Iris
Base Notes: Heliotrope, Musk, Tonka Bean, Vetiver, Amber

This review is for the eau de parfum which is a rich, amber colour unlike the eau de toilet which is more yellow in colour.

Espirit de Oscar opens with the bright, fresh scent of a juicy lemon just picked from a lemon tree growing in the warm, temperate climate of Sicily and sliced open before your eyes. It is an appetisingly fresh and fruity note that is neither sharp and acrid, nor artificially sweetened by honey or sugar of any type. The top notes are refreshing, and they last a surprisingly long while.

After 5-10 minutes, the heart notes slowly begin to open. Now, the fragrance feels as though armfuls of purple flowers have been given me. I mainly detect iris, violet, and already an abundance of slightly doughy heliotrope. In the background, surprisingly, unusually demure are the white florals. This time, the stars are the purple flowers, the dry iris, the gently sweet violet, and the doughy heliotrope.

The heart notes themselves last for quite a long time, and then eventually, finally, roughly one hour into the fragrance, the warm base notes emerge. Heliotrope is still quite prominent in the base, though. Beneath the heliotrope I detect the warmth of amber with shy hints of tonka bean and musk. I do not detect the vetiver here, but that is fine. The warmth of the amber, tonka, and musk make the perfect chorus for the star player---the heliotrope. This fragrance is about purple flowers in general and heliotrope in particular. If you do not like heliotrope, then this fragrance will not likely appeal.

Espirt de Oscar is feminine and soft. Projection is about an arm's length. Sillage is soft but noticeable. Longevity is good. I think this is a fragrance that would work well either day or night provided you love heliotrope. The original Oscar will always be my favourite, but Espirit will shower you with sunny, fresh lemon, and then it will surround you with an abundance of purple flowers until finally, you are made warm and cozy by the ambery base. It is a lovely perfume, and it is very good value for the price point.

Fragrance: 7.5/10
Projection: 6.5/10
Sillage: 6.5/10
Longevity: 6.5/10

21 July 20 ETA: The more I wear this fragrance the more I love it. It is very aptly named. Oscar was elegant and loved women. He dressed women and scented them with all of the elegance, charm, and reverence he held for the fairer sex. Gorgeous fragrance!

Lemony, powdery. Soft elegance. Base is sadly mostly absent. Decent staying power for a citrusy floral on dry skin. Shines in warm weather.

A lighter, more powdery, soapy and less intrusive version version of the classic Oscar. It bears the spirit of femininity and grace.
