Vouvrayhead,

"Rose petals" is a common descriptor for the traminer varieties, and is likely related to the perfume memory too.

Moth balls, however--hmmm. Naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Strong stuff there...

Did your grandmother use cedar in her closets--that also helps keeps moths away, and that can sometimes come out in wine from the barrels.
