About This Perfume
Think sweet bergamot tea, soft vanilla warmth: that is Banana Republic Rosewood. It opens with bergamot, moves into tea and settles on vanilla and amber. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for casual days and date nights. Released in 2006.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and powdery for casual days.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike powdery fragrances.
Around $20.
