Modelled profile
A dense floral oriental of tuberose, jasmine, rose and ylang over patchouli, oakmoss and opoponax. It projects strongly and reads powdery and grand, an opulent classic that fills a room.

How Oscar smells, measured

Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Oscar is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 33rd percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Oscar carries some body without feeling heavy.
Oscar keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 42nd percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
