Which Should You Buy?
Louis Vuitton's Rose des Vents is a divisive one. Fans adore its sophisticated, natural rose, while detractors dismiss it as generic, overpriced, or, bafflingly, 'pickles' or 'hot dogs'. A try-before-you-buy is essential, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.
A lighter, brighter take on Louis Vuitton's Rose des Vents - the green, slightly woody rose is a good match for the original's translucent, workplace-friendly character, though it fades sooner and stays closer to the skin.
