Banana Republic Rosewood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Pascal Gaurin. Rosewood opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Tea, and dries down to a base of Amber. Banana Republic's Rosewood carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Rosewood is a beautifully blended, warm amber that punches well above its weight for the price. While some find the sweetness cloying or detect an unwanted 'animalic' note, most rave about its comforting, clean, and elegant character.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and 'clean' yet 'comforting' amber profile make it versatile for most settings. Many found it perfect for the office or casual wear, while its sensual warmth suits a date. It's too soft for formal events and definitively not a sport scent.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rosewood opens with a fleeting spark of zesty bergamot, quickly softening into a heart of gentle, aromatic tea. The real star, though, is the creamy, warm amber base, which gives a sweet, enveloping richness. Hints of green and an intriguing animalic depth add complexity, creating a scent that feels both clean and sensually inviting.
