The new fragrance from Oscar de la Renta is a beautiful, grown up floral concoction called Bella Blanca.
Inspired by the late, great fashion designer's passion for flowers and the house's signature floral designs, Master Perfumer Harry Fremont has created an elegant white floral scent perfect for spring. Opening with top notes of freesia, pear, cassis and mandarin with a heart of violet leaves, jasmine and white roses, and a dry down of creamy sandalwood and musky peach, it's sweet but not too sweet, and floral but not too floral. The bottle is covered with three-dimensional white flowers with an etched gold plate and topper, and the ad campaign was shot by Kristian Schuller featuring Zhanna Brass as a vision dressed in white, surrounded by garden flowers. Dreamy.
Oscar de la Renta Bella Blanca Eau de Parfum 30ml, 50ml & 100ml, available at Fenwick and nationwide
