Oasis de Fleurs
by Rituals
Oasis de Fleurs by Rituals is a light, clean, and fresh fragrance that captures the essence of a crisp summer morning. It opens with a bright blend of bergamot, mandarin orange, and mint, delivering a zesty yet muted citrus tone, followed by a delicate floral heart of jasmine, orchid, and rose. The dry down features subtle woody and mossy notes, grounding the scent with a green, slightly earthy character. While some describe it as inoffensive and pleasant, others report an unsettling 'industrial' or herbal note reminiscent of cardamom or overwatered plants, leading to a divisive perception. The fragrance performs as a skin scent with moderate tenacity, fading quickly after application. It is best suited for spring and summer wear, particularly during the day, and appeals most to those seeking an uncomplicated, refreshing scent with a faintly aromatic, fougère-inspired character. It lacks strong sillage and longevity, though it can be resprayed for consistent freshness.
Pros
- +Delivers a clean, fresh, and minimalist impression ideal for warm-weather wear.
- +Offers an accessible, low-impact scent that is easy to wear daily without overwhelming others.
- +Appeals to those with a preference for green, woody, and subtle floral notes rather than overtly sweet or heavy florals.
Cons
- −Short longevity and weak sillage make it impractical for longer occasions or those seeking lasting presence.
- −The dry down includes a divisive 'weird' or 'industrial' note that may trigger negative reactions.
- −Overly subdued citrus and floral notes fail to satisfy those expecting a bolder, more floral profile despite the name.
