Fresh Fragrant Garden Rose and LOTV
I often wear Roses de Chloe on one arm and Diorissimo on the other because I love the fresh, joyful vibe they share.
I often wished I could find it combined in one fragrance, even sought recommendations, but none of the suggestions I tried were rose enough or LOTV enough.
Had to laugh at myself today: like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz (Spoiler Alert!), all along, what I was seeking I already had.
Oscar de la Renta Rose opens with such a strong note of dewy fresh pear that until today's wear I didn't notice the equally-prominent Lily of the Valley.
The rose note quickly follows and takes center stage where she stays throughout the wear. It's the scent of a garden rose planted for its exceptional fragrance. An old-world rose you are smelling right where it's blooming, fresh and dewy. And strong!
The base is clean musk. That is all I detect.
The performance is excellent for a fresh floral. Three light sprays and I can smell it without effort throughout the day, into evening.
If you try it, underspray to test. I think overspraying could be overwhelming.
Oscar's Rose may lack the dark sophistication of POAL or the marshmallow that's trendy - it's just a fresh happy green rose. But lovely. And lovelier still for its LOTV, which does linger lightly through the wear
