Live in Love
Oscar de la Renta (2011)

A pretty, feminine lady wearing a white dress, carefully styled hair, a hat and this perfume while walking down a parisian street on a sunny day then sitting down at a fountain. Definitely a daytime perfume for sunny spring days. It's not a unique scent, it's a lovely scent. bright fresh, modern, clean, green, delightful and romantic. I can visualize a bride this fragrance on her wedding day.

It's definitely galbanum, bergamot, lily of the volley, jasmine, orange flower, with a smooth sandalwood, amber, rose undertone. The green white floral and herbal notes further intricate this yet still such a simple pure yellow white slightly green aura is created as a whole. Live in Love moves beautifully from crisp freshness of the morning to warm peppery softness of an evening in a flower garden. Sillage & longevity are moderate and the price reasonable.

My favorite Oscar-- so different from the powder/aldehyde Oscars of yore. Such a lovely "clear" (my term for powder-free) floral that invokes the "spring in a bottle" cliche.

Unfortunately for me, it disappears VERY quickly, but I know longevity varies quite a bit. If you're one of the lucky ones who can keep the scent, flaunt it! For those who remember, the opening reminds me quite a bit of Eau de Gucci Concentree (1979 release).

I'm not a fan of floral fragrances .... but this brings the spring in my soul. After the strong, clean floral smell (who don't lasts very long time, and in this case could take some more),... then, remains a stable, creamy scent ... it's very nice!

HATE it. Reminds me of Sung, another fragrance I LOATHE.

Someone who find this perfume (and Sung) "light" needs to see an ENT. Or, if one thinks it smells like flowers, then I suggest a visit to the nearest Botanical Gardens to find out what real flowers smell like. Nothing like that here. Aldehydes and chemicals is all I smell.

This perfume is heavy, cloying and gives me a headache.

Perfume, that, if worn by someone else, would send me to the bathroom retching. I don't know what is in this perfume (or in Sung) that I hate so much, but it reminds me of something an elderly lady would wear--one with too much makeup drawn on badly (like the old lady on the greetings cards). Or, something to cover up a really bad smell of unclean individuals. One word: D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G.

Very nice...smells of fresh flowers with a touch of sweetness. (This is the EDP). Has that "water lily" note, but dries down to sort of a woody base. Good sillage, but I had to reapply this about 5 hours after the first spray.
