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 mint-forward green aromatic is either a refined, modern take on a classic masculine fougere or just expensive aftershave. Prepare for polarisation; you'll either adore its clean, barbershop vibe or dismiss it as generic.
