Oscar de la Renta has launched a new line of perfumes created by perfumer Calice Becker. The collection of six fragrances, entitled "Essential Luxuries", is inspired by de la Renta's "most loved people, places and things”.
Granada
"A romantic citrus floral accord with a radiant, feminine air inspired by the memory of the majestic Alhambra patios. The sweet scent of jasmine petals and bitter orange enlightened by exotic roses reflects off a fresh stream of water, leaving a lingering impression"
Santo Domingo
"A smooth, smoky tabac fragrance inspired by the tropical setting of Oscar de la Renta’s birthplace, Santo Domingo. Fresh, citrusy notes of mandarin and coriander embrace the rich warmth of tobacco, patchouli and spices in this luscious scent"
Mi Corazón
"An unmistakable, white floral bouquet intrinsically associated with Mr. de la Renta’s devotion to family and his passion for gardening embodied in a lush, creamy accord of tuberose and ylang-ylang that mingle with peach for a warm tropical twist and an intoxicating trail."
Sargasso
"A crisp, green, invigorating accord is the essence of “sea spray” in a splashy Eau de Cologne. Fresh citrus notes, watery cucumber and an unexpected revitalizing greenness combine with warm sunshine and patchouli for a lasting serene finish"
Oriental Lace
"A daring, dark oriental laced with gourmand nuances that embody the opulent textures in Oscar de la Renta’s celebrated runway collections. The fragrance unfolds to a warm, inviting blend of the unique hoya carnosa flower with hints of honey and bitter almond surrounded by dark cacao and patchouli for a mysterious, delectable treat."
Coralina
"A timeless, classic floral bouquet as elegant as the women who inspire Mr. de la Renta’s luxurious designs: ladylike, refined and rare. The scent is an unforgettable blend of mimosa, violet and orris, softened with luxurious woody green notes"
Each fragrance is available as 100ml Eau de Parfum and costs US$150.
