Oscar Fresh Vanilla by Oscar de la Renta

mwater1

I recently purchased Oscar Fresh Vanilla and I'm so on the fence with this one. The initial spray was tangy and creamy, reminiscent of an orange dreamsicle as Amanda said it was. I didn't pick up the black currant in the opening at all. The middle is soft, slightly powdery, and it's sweetly marshmallow-y vanilla at the same time. The drydown of the fragrance is soft musk, vanilla, and I can still detect a trace of the orange blossom and bergamont. It even works with my chemistry and lasts for over 8 hours on me.

My only issue with this great fragrance is in the heart notes. I would be lying if I said that I don't like it, because I do. It's a unique fragrance and I haven't encountered anything similar. I don't really think it's similar to Hypnose at all. It's the powder puff aspect of Fresh Vanilla--this is why I'm so undecided about it. I was happy with the opening, but I really don't enjoy powdery fragrances-they make me feel like I can't breathe. Since I have a bottle, I will continue to use it througout the winter, but I don't see me looking high and low for a new bottle.

I guess that overall, Fresh Vanilla is a really well done vanilla fragrance. I score it a 7 out of 10.

WOW! It took me forever to get this and that was only due to a second chance offer from e-bay for only $20. LOL! It is really hard to find...? o.0

Anyway, now that it's mine I am thrilled. This is such a beautiful, well balanced scent with a perfect blend of citrus, vanilla and floral notes.

Never smelled anything like it and I love it! Every note makes an entrance and they all meld together to create an excellent perfume. My only gripe is the lasting power but I can live with that since the scent doesn't vanish into thin air.

Just wish I could turn the volume up on this one to make it an intensely fresh vanilla. ;'D


EDIT: The lasting power on this is actually really good! ;') Sprayed it on a piece of paper to freshen up the room and sniffing the paper 2 days later, it is still there.

Its very similair with Hypnose by Lancome,especially at the start but its a bit fresher.And the drydown is fantastic,you almost want to eat it..Love it,so if you like Hypnose you would like this one too

In general, I really like the smell of vanilla in perfumes. But, I am not into "only" vanilla perfumes. I was a bit anxious to try this one, especially that I bought a full 50 ml on the net.

Nice suprise. This is such a soft, warm (and fresh at the same time), nice vanilla scent. I guess the marshmallow note brings a sweetness to the vanilla, without making it too sweet and sugary. Definitely, a winner for me. Bravo!

Edit: The drydown is a marshmallow scent, period. Delicious and exquisite. Double bravo!

Creamy vanilla ice cream in a juicy orange blanket. Fresh Vanilla reminds me of Dreamsicles, except that the scent is more warm and cozy than cool and refreshing.

I'm not a huge fan of vanillas or sweet fragrances, especially when they are mixed with fruit (Angel, Tocade), but this one is very pretty, and not as cloyingly sweet as I had expected.

If they banned all chypres, orientals, leathers, fougeres, ambers, resins, woods, and florals, and left nothing but sweet, creamy, fruity, vanilla perfumes, I would choose this one.

desian botolnya sangat unik, artistik namun juga very playful!! dengan keharuman vanilla yang sensual, manis, delicious menggambarkan seorang sosok wanita yang menyenangkan, hangat dan mempesona.

The bottle is gorgeous, the scent warm and softly seductive. It's sweet, but not cloying or strong, and it radiates like sunshine falling on a freshly baked pound cake cooling on a windowsill.

It layers well with the Amber scent from the same collection. As the scent stays close to the body, it could be worn anywhere, at any time.

I got a whiff of this on a friend the other day and just had to know what it was. Now I know I need it!!! This scent opens with a cool vanilla mixed with a crisp citrus note. The citrus quickly blends into the vanilla, producing a powdery creamsicle scent. I have been hoping to find a scent like this for a long time, and once I find it I will be wearing it during the spring and summer, but I think this scent might work for the colder months too!

I smell the citrus bergamot/orange a lot at first and then orange, vanilla, marshmallows towards the end. Kind of like a musky creamsicle! It sorta reminds me of L De Lolita Lempicka minus the cinnamon.

A marshmellowy powdery soft scent. I have and like all of the Oscar Limited Editions including the rare Tropical Flower and almost added this to complete the collection. Except for the fact that I don't take to vanilla notes easily. A shame, this snuggly skin scent would make another girl happy.

This a subtle fragrance. It is sweet and delicate with a hint of musky freshness. Very light and not too sweet.

A must have! I smelled this on a shop, and was instantly sold!! delicious, soft, sexy, beatiful, sweet, but not too sweet.

I would describe this as fruity vanilla (but thats not an olfactive group)
