Rose of Dreams is a clear dupe of Rose des Vents, sharing almost all accords and notes. The crucial difference lies in the price point. Rose des Vents, from Louis Vuitton, falls into the 'ultra luxury' category, while Rose of Dreams is a budget-friendly alternative. Rose des Vents is more divisive due to its natural rose, and how it interacts with skin chemistry. Rose of Dreams is a safer, fresher, green and peppery rose, leaning cleaner.

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.
This fresh, green, and peppery rose might just be your new signature. It's a clean, elegant scent that's far from dusty despite hints of powder, though you do have to love rose to truly appreciate it.
