Banana Republic Rosewood is built on bergamot, tea, amber and vanilla, and reads as a floral, sweet and powdery scent.
Skunky's take: The flowers do the talking, the rest listens.

What does Rosewood smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It suits leisure and daily wear, and also works for evenings and the office. It reads feminine. It has been discontinued.
Bergamot gives a light opening, and tea softens the heart. Amber and vanilla dominate the base, and the scent dries down gourmand, spicy and woody-warm. Those looking for a close profile could try Rare Beauty Amber Vanilla and L'Artisan Parfumeur Vanilia.
