Which Should You Buy?
This isn't just 'pretty smelling water' it's a divisive floral powerhouse that some adore for its vintage charm, whilst others find it too old-school and overpowering. Love it or hate it, Pivoine leaves an impression.
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.
