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 - Excitement EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Euphoria - a aromatic fragrance led by bright opening notes, with amber depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.
