Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Beau De Jour EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Drakkar Intense EDP
Drakkar Intense is a divisive cheapie - some hail it as a modern barbershop classic with warm, masculine charm, others are infuriated by its fleeting performance. If you're after a budget-friendly scent for personal enjoyment or short wear, it's worth a sniff. Just don't expect beast mode.
