Esprit d’Oscar ~ A new Scent !

Design house Oscar de la Renta gets its perfume license back and announces a new fragrance named "Esprit d’Oscar".
"Esprit d’Oscar" is the updated and modern reinterpretation of the debut fragrance Oscar from 1977.
Retaining the original oriental – floral character, the new composition begins with citrus notes of Sicilian lemon, bergamot and citron, leading to the floral bouquet heart of Egyptian jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose.
The base is oriental, creamy, smooth and very long-lasting with musk, heliotrope, tonka and vetiver.
Perfumers Frank Voelkl and Ann Gottlieb collaborated to create this marvelous composition.
The perfume bottle design is also an update of the original version,
with more elongated shape and the glass stopper resembles a flower.
The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
