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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tom Ford - Beau de Jour (2019) - a aromatic fragrance led by Lavender, with woody depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
