Volupté Oscar de la Renta 1992 Eau de Toilette
An early-90s fruity-floral oriental that opens with melon and osmanthus alongside freesia and mimosa — a slightly powdery, slightly aquatic top that signals the era without being a period piece.

By the editors · 2 min readAn early-90s fruity-floral oriental that opens with melon and osmanthus alongside freesia and mimosa — a slightly powdery, slightly aquatic top that signals the era without being a period piece.
The heart is generous: jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley and peony stacked against narcissus and heliotrope, the latter pair adding a hay-and-almond quality that pulls the bouquet inward toward the skin. Tuberose holds the line into the base, where sandalwood, frankincense, amber, vanilla and patchouli give it a resin-warm, lightly incensed dry-down.
The overall character is plush rather than sharp, indoor rather than open-air. It carries best in cooler weather and dim light.
