Which Should You Buy?
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.
Rose De Chine by Tom Ford weaves an intricate floral tapestry that's richly layered and deeply evocative, suitable for refined occasions.
