Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Beau De Jour
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Lavender Water
If you came for straight-up, no-nonsense lavender, then you've found your jam. It's a proper, old-school lavender blast - a bit sharp, a bit dusty, and quite tenacious. You'll either love its natural, unadulterated charm or find it a bit too much like Vapo-Rub.
