Oscar de la Renta Something Blue Eau de Parfum and Body Lotion

Oscar de la Renta Something Blue ($85; macys.com) is a light floral fragrance, very crisp, yet feminine and perfect for the spring and summer seasons. Notes include neroli blossom, bergamot, mandarin, linden blossom with vanilla, musk, amberette seed, ambergris and warm cashmere wood at the base. The opening is light and fresh, lots of citrus and florals mix in to add that zestiness. The dry down according to me is mostly vanilla with just a touch of the musk - very soft and creamy without being too sweet. The bottle design is beautiful, a small rounded bottle with a blue cap that is rather nice and simple. I found the body lotion fast absorbing and light, great to be layered with the fragrance, which by itself is quite lasting on me. Overall, its a fragrance that would appeal to a lot of people, especially great for the warmer seasons and one that isn’t too strong or too light, yet quite playful and citrusy.
