Rose Des Vents LOUIS VUITTON Eau de Parfum

In Grasse May Rose

I visited the Louis Vuitton boutique in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. The store had all 8 Louis Vuitton fragrances available to sample. I was lucky enough to have Cherly G. as my Expert Client Advisor. Cherly was knowledgeable and just plain fun. With Cherly's help, I tried all 8 samples and I learned a lot about this lovely collection. My favorite of this line was Rose des Vents. This rose fragrance surprised me. I grew roses for many years but this Grasse May rose scent was completely new to me. The rose scent was subtle, strong and enchanting. Grasse must indeed be a very special place.. The notes are May rose, iris, cedar and spices. These notes are definitely from quality ingredients. The perfumer is Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. Sillage was made to me. Longevity was excellent-I got more than 8 hours of this rosy delight. The boutique is located near the main entrance of the Wynn casino in Las Vegas. If you go, do ask for Cherly G. Enjoy the journey.

I love it. On my skin, this fragrance opens with an airy, slightly spicy fruity Rose. Quickly it transforms to a fresh greenish sweetish Rose with a slightly milky undertone. Then there is a powdery Rose joining in to make this fragrance a complex Rose melange with a bit of wood and muskiness in the base. It doesn't have a heavy sillage but create a good cloud of scent around me. Longevity does have much room for improvement though for an Eau de Parfum as it only lasts a little over four hours on my skin before turning into a skin scent. I believe it might last longer if sprayed generously.

My wife wears this.

No bias. Promise.

I love it. It is a musky rose that smells better on skin/air than on paper.
The sillage and projection are amazing. My wife gets stopped by women and men to ask what she's wearing.
Lasts and blasts for hours and smells niche.

This is one of my favorite perfumes EVER! It's so classy and sophisticated, perfect for all seasons and occasions, it has amazing lasting power and its a complement getter.

Rose des Vents is a beautiful, feminine, airy and elegant powdery rose scent. I usually look for something with more of a punch so I didn't really appreciate the discreet beauty of this scent until I tried it several times, but now I'm obsessed. Easy to reach for any occasion, this is the perfect all-rounder or signature scent. It creates a beautiful, fluffy rose scented bubble around the wearer. The immediate opening is a bit green but this disappears within minutes. I don't get any fruit or pepper, just plain rose. Smells clean, modern and very sophisticated. The performance is about 3-4 hours with mild to moderate projection on my skin.
