Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Rose de Chine
Tom Ford's Rose de Chine is a divisive floral, offering a unique, often intense, take on rose. Some find it a refined, elegant oriental, while others are overwhelmed by a loud, even chemical peony-rose blend. You'll either love its smoky, spicy depth or dismiss it as an old-fashioned 'rich aunty' scent.
Statement
Our Verdict - Rainbow
This one's a proper spring mood in a bottle - a bright, green floral that's a bit of a chameleon. Some find it a clean, sophisticated joy, others a bit too much like laundry detergent or air freshener. Definitely try before you buy.

Its fresh, clean floral profile makes it suitable for casual wear and might even brighten up an office, provided it's applied lightly due to potentially strong projection. It's less ideal for formal events or sports, where its distinct floralcy might feel out of place.
