Seven notes crowd the very top of Volupte Perfume alone, and Oscar De La Renta rarely trusted a simpler formula when ambition felt more appropriate to the name. Mimosa, melon, freesia, osmanthus, mandarin orange, watermelon, and cyclamen open in a fruity floral rush unlike most typical designer releases today. Heliotrope, ylang ylang, narcissus, carnation, jasmine, lily of the valley, lotus, and peony crowd the heart with extraordinary floral abundance and considerable complexity throughout the entire wear.
Sandalwood, amber, incense, tuberose, vanilla, and patchouli close the base in dense, resinous richness that lasts for many long hours. This fruity floral Eau De Toilette suits evening wear and grand formal occasions especially well, remarkably rewarding real patience with its considerable, layered depth.
