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.
This tiny bottle packs a punch, but its true intention remains a mystery. Don't expect to splash this around - it's more of a secret indulgence.
