Oscar de la renta Esprit d'oscar perfume review

It was love at first sight with the bottle of this fragrance - made of clear glass in the shape of a flower, with a blooming floral top, it's eye catching, feminine and looks great on my dressing table.

So what about the actual fragrance? Described as a floral oriental, it contains notes of lemon, bergamont, jasmine, tuberose, musk, heliotrope and tonka bean.

On me, I can't actually smell the citrus top notes, instead it starts of as a light floral. However, very quickly the base notes kick in and turns the fragrance into a strong powdery floral scent.

Personally, I'm not too big a fan of strong powdery scents, but it does work as a grown up fragrance for work. That said, it remind me of Guerlain insolence and Chloe love, both of which are also powdery scents, so if you like those, then definitely give this a sniff.

What type of fragrances do you tend to go for? What's your favourite winter scent?
