Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Beau de Jour is a modern fougere that delivers an undeniably masculine, sophisticated experience. It's a classic barbershop vibe brought into the 21st century, sparking strong opinions and cementing its place as a divisive but adored scent.
This is a seriously green, herbaceous beast that polarises opinion. Some find it a realistic, invigorating garden, others a challenging, almost edible, explosion of aggressive greenery.
