The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1997, So de la Renta by Oscar de la Renta is a Floral Fruity fragrance created by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis. The composition opens with the freshness of watermelon and mango before transitioning into a heart of freesia, gardenia, and tuberose. This floral bouquet is then grounded by a sweet base of vanilla, musk, and plum. So de la Renta captures a delicate balance between fruity vibrancy and floral elegance, making it a versatile choice for both day and night.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient as the fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The floral heart and sweet base develop over time, so it's best to let it settle on your skin before heading out for an evening event.
