What does Rose des Vents smell like?

The scent is built around rose as a single whole: May rose absolute, Bulgarian rose and Turkish rose lead, while Florentine iris adds a powdery, creamy softness. Virginia cedar and pepper give the fresh, lightly sweet floral a woody, spicy edge.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn for leisure, daily use and the office. It reads feminine. Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin and Jil Sander Style have a close profile.
