Rose des Vents
by Louis Vuitton
Rose des Vents by Louis Vuitton is a light, airy, and feminine rose fragrance with a clean, slightly fruity and green opening. It features a prominent peach and black currant note that blends with fresh green notes and a subtle cedar base, creating a delicate and transparent bouquet. The rose is fresh and not overly sweet—more like a dewy spring rose than a rich or heavy one—while the musk, iris, and white musk add a powdery, smooth finish. The scent evolves quickly, with the fruity layer fading and a daintier rose emerging over time. Many find the dry down to be softly powdery and faintly floral, resembling a delicate shower gel or boutique perfume. Longevity is moderate, but often limited to 3–6 hours, particularly on sensitive skin, and sillage is more moderate to intimate rather than bold. The fragrance is generally perceived as simple, linear, and refreshingly elegant—ideal for spring and summer. While not groundbreaking in complexity or depth, it’s appreciated for its softness and clean, unobtrusive character. Some users detect a faint synthetic or chemical note, and others report an odd, unexpected pickle or greenness that can be off-putting. Overall, it’s a made-to-order scent for those who appreciate a light, fresh rose with minimal drama.
