Oscar de la Renta was born in the Dominican Republic, but left home at the age of eighteen to study painting in Madrid. He quickly became interested in the fashion world and earned an apprenticeship with the renowned Spanish designer, Cristobal Balenciaga, before moving to Paris as a couture assistant at Lanvin.

Oscar worked for Elizabeth Arden from 1963 to ’65, developing his skills as a clothing designer, before leaving to set up his own high-end fashion brand. Today, he has become one of the most revered designers around, winning numerous awards and having his clothes worn by a range of high-profile celebrities. One of his leading endeavours is his self-titled Eau de Toilette, inspired by the lush gardens of his homeland in the Dominican, and celebrating the romantic and sensual side of femininity. The fragrance contains notes of orange blossom, coriander, peach, jasmine, clove, and lavender, and is one of our very best selling scents at Fragrance Mad, available now for £26.99 for a 100ml bottle. All of the classic style for just half the RRP!
