Rosewood Banana Republic 2006
1
The fuzzy wuzziest that ever was!
Rosewood is NOT a Brazilian rosewood scent. Maybe it's supposed to smell like the color of the wood? I'm not sure (the light brown is very suitable in my opinion), so if you happen upon a bottle please don't expect anything related to the real smell. I actually have smelled true rosewood, though it's been almost a decade ago, but this perfume doesn't even begin to resemble it.
What this is, is some kind of strange, but incredibly pleasant musk with mere traces of wood. It's a neo-amber, and light herbal tones (it never smells like true tea to me).
It's a cuddly, warm...but not heavy fragrance. Fuzzy, fuzzy, FUZZY.
I don't mean to say that this smells like merino wool, but it has the olfactive texture equivalent of it.
I purchased this 8 years ago on a whim, at the price of a jar of pickles, and I STILL have yet to stumble across a better smelling fuzzy fragrance at any price point. It's also the ultimate "dumb reach" for fall-winter...and it's absolutely COULD be lovely in spring or summer too (again, this isn't heavy)...but the color is so *brown* that it just doesn't feel like it belongs among the ambient brightness of spring or summer.
