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.
Tower is a total chameleon, a shape-shifter of Arabian spice and floral vibes. You'll either get its warm, inviting embrace or find it a bit too much - it's definitely a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.
