Is Rose Exposed better for daytime or nighttime wear?+−
While it can be worn during the day in cooler weather, the community and the scent profile strongly favor evening use. The combination of black leather, frankincense, and dark rose makes it particularly well-suited for nights out or formal events.
How does the rose note here compare to other Tom Ford fragrances?+−

Is this a safe blind buy for someone who doesn't like floral scents?+−
It is a strong candidate for those who usually avoid florals because the leather and cypress notes are so prominent. However, since some find Tom Ford's heavier compositions polarizing or "rancid" at first spray, it is best to test it on the skin to see how the turmeric and leather notes develop.
