Oscar De La Renta
Timeless femininity, dressed in New York glamour
Oscar de la Renta is the eponymous fashion house of the Dominican-born designer who trained under Cristóbal Balenciaga and Antonio Castillo before establishing his own label in New York in 1965. The fragrance arm launched in 1977 with Oscar, a tuberose-and-jasmine floriental that quickly became one of the defining American luxury feminines of its decade and remains the line's pillar today. De la Renta died in 2014; the house has continued under Peter Copping and later under his successors, with the fragrance business licensed across various partners including YSL Beauty and Inter Parfums. Subsequent releases — Esprit d'Oscar, Live in Love, the Rosamor and Bella collections — extend the white-floral and chypre registers without departing from the original codex. Pricing sits at upper-accessible designer level, distributed through department stores and the brand's own boutiques.
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
