Rose de Chine

Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, challenging, and utterly unique, Opus X is for those who dare to embrace the unusual. It’s a metallic rose for niche enthusiasts, not for the faint of heart or anyone seeking a crowd-pleaser.
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.
