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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Pierced EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tom Ford - Beau De Jour EDP (2020) - a aromatic fragrance led by Lavender, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.
