I finally had a chance to try Rosewood thanks to litldove7 for swapping with me!
Rosewood is very similar to the scent of the FlowerBomb lotion I have(I don't have the perfume unfortunately). I love the powdery smell of Rosewood. It reminds me of some scented lipstick I have or like talcum powder but not the grandmother kind. To me its like the powdery notes in Hanae Mori and Casmir. Hard to explain! It might be from the woodsy notes. I love the creamy sweetness the vanilla adds from beginning to end along with fresh white tea leaves and white amber. The lasting power is great. I just need a huge bottle of this!

I especially went into a shop today to smell it after reading the reviews. I love it, it has such a beautiful long lasting fragrance. I cant stop smelling my arm. The fragrance hasnt changed since it was first sprayed on my arm, it has distinct vanilla and rosewood for me. A very warm and comfortable fragrance, not one that makes a loud statement but one of confidence all the same. Very well priced for such a lovely fragrance.

Rosewood is just adorable! It's not easy finding a person who dislikes this stuff! For me Rosewood is like a blend of 2 other lovely fragrances, Magical Moon by Hanae Mori and Lolita Lempicka.. The difference is that this blend is much more special!
At the beginning it feels slightly strong but the dry down is absolutely wonderful,warm and cozy.. Vanilla dominates but the tea notes makes it fresh and youthful at the same time!
I would strongly suggest you try it on.. especially on a cold winter day!!

I don't know what an actual rosewood smells like....but this is a nice perfume. I can detect the bergamot at the beginning, but only for a short amount of time. The vanilla and tea come up quickly while the bergamot fades away (but not completely) and lingers quietly in the background. I can't detect the tea, but I definitely get the vanilla and amber. This fragrance stays with me most of the day. It dries down to a somewhat rosy powder that's still sweet, but not as much as it was in the beginning and middle period. It's a lovely scent during the day. Is there sandalwood in here as well? I can't tell. There's something special about it that I just can't quite point out.

Rosewood is really lovely, cute and honest.I thought it would smell like, wood and fresh in some way like "DSquared-She Wood" but it's totally different.The beginning is a bit fresh and i smell the tea note, but then it becomes so sweet smells like a vanilla body lotion,it don't match to the name.
I really want to buy it,something is really wonderful,but it's not so special and unique but a very pleasant scent.The Bottle is very nice and i love the woody box.It's a very good scent for the winter time,reminds me of x-mas biscuits,it's also very cozy and really comfortable and sensual.

I bought the minis of Rosewood (for me) and Black Walnut (for a neighbor)for $15 for the pair!! I really like Rosewood as a soft fallorspring daytime/casual evening floriental. It lasts about 4 hours on me; not bad at all.
Tica is absolutely right; this is *definitely* better than many designer perfumes, and priced better, too.
The drydown is pleasantly vanilla and amber. This is not a bad "default" perfume, for when you don't know what to wear. Like a simple black pencil skirt in perfume form.

I can detect no rosewood at all in this. What I do smell is a lovely sweet vanilla with sandalwood notes. Still, for a scent entitled 'rosewood,' I would expect at least a hint of it. Very nice, and priced right and love the bottle but not one I'll bother getting. Also didn't last very long on me.

This perfume is a pleasant surprise. It smells soft and clean. In my opinion it smells better than a lot of designer brand perfumes.

Beautiful. Vanilla Mmmmm. A nice step away from the fruity trend.

I love this scent. after it dies down, it is powdery slight floral rosewood. It does give me a headache though. But I will still wear it and take an aspirin.
