I absolutely love this. Reminds me of walking into barbershop when I was a kid .

Beau de jour is a prime example of taking a classic and putting a new suit on it... One of my many faves from the range 🦄

The initial lavender this projects is absolutely brutal. If I could just bottle the 8th hour of this frag and keep it linear for 5 hours, I think it could quite possibly be a perfect formulation. It reminds me of a cool uncle at a christening in a grey suit in the 80’s, the kind of uncle who was up to speed with the latest technology at the time, he would have had a brick mobile phone, a top of the range VCR, silver casio watch and a walkman with black sponge headphones.

Absolutely loving the set and camera work, your videos look fantastic Aaron!

Aaron you are looking so sharp and great at the moment. Life is clearly treating you well. Thanks for another brilliant review. I love this fragrance. It gets better as it settles and is truly a classic.

This is in my top 3 in my collection and I'm so happy you have your thoughts on it! One thing I can say about it's performance - amazing! Projection, longevity and spillage checks all the boxes - for me!

I've been waiting this review for a long time Aaron,thank you.I think this is an excellent modern fougere.Really love it!

Aaron is amazing. Can't get enough of this. Fantastic description.

Thanks Aaron- I just love this fragrance. Both the skin scent and the surrounding cloud it makes are delicious. I would probably like an 80's musk version of this even more! Almost everything about Beau De Jour is superior to the typical perfume samples I've been testing lately especially longevity. Upon application I love it all the way to the final moments of the dry down.

Holy shit this video style is very satisfying. I've never watched a perfume video before, subscribed!

Great review Aaron! I had a bottle of the private blend version, and to my nose that one had quite a pronounced cumin note on top that I liked, but I know isn't very popular. That is totally missing from this version, which I also like!

I Love This Review, Been Definitely Waiting For This One 🥺❤️.. Much Love Always Aaron❤️

Love your reviews Aaron. Don't know why I am getting a Virgina Tobacco note in the dry down and I love it! Regards!

I bought this for my dad last year for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. Takes a classic and timeless DNA and makes it modern, palatable and so lovely. I would wear it myself

Thank you for your review on this. I just picked this up a few days ago, tried it on and mixed a little of Molecule 02 with it on one arm and just BDJ on the other. Both scents lasted me on skin for about 24hrs, the molecule 02 + BDJ lasting a bit longer with a stronger scent. I did a full day of cardio, running errands, meeting with friends for brunch, grilling outside, and this smell still lasted and endured the entire day. I'm not sure if maybe its just my skin type, but this lasts way longer for me than most people say it lasts for them. Love this ❤

i could wathc these reviews all day..well done aaron

I've got the private blend version, very nice. I can send a 2ml if you want for comparison

This has been on my list for a while. Thank you. Made me laugh in public with your frustration with the name. I can relate. Love the NASA sweatshirt!

Awesome review! I wish Houbigant's Fougere Royale was on your upcoming list as well, maybe also Penhaligon's Sartorial.

Nice review Aaron. Masterpiece frag, amber in the dry down reminds me of Grand Soir, love it!

Great review and dope shirt Aaron!

Thank you Aaron for another great n honest video. Stay safe brother 😎🤜🤛🙏

Blown away by your insight Aaron, points like adding musk would date this frag is the kind of stuff that sets you apart. Hair and burley beard kick-ass as well :D Keep the brilliance coming!

Thank you Aaron. You are the only perfume reviewer (perfumer) who I trust. Too many perfume reviewers out there with bigger numbers and little knowledge. I hate to think for them it's more of a popularity contest. Your review are honest, professional, balanced and inspired. Plus I love your NASA t-shirt..you geek. ;) Keep at it!

Really great review Aaron. Eventhough it is not your scent, you do give positive feedback and credits to the artist for doing a job well done. Love that about you. I have this one on my mind for a while because I do love these kind of scents. Hearing your comment and thoughts and reading others commenting on this video, does make me wonder how this one will develop on my skin. So soon I will go to a store and give this one a try. Thank you so much! The Tom Ford I personaly like the most till now and is one of my scents for life, is Costa Azzurra.

If you enjoy barbershop scents then this is really a must own!! It's one of the best barbershop scents there is!

Super review as always. An education. Spring fragrance for me at the right moments I like it simply because being old, 50, it reminds me of Eau Savage when I wore that in 1980s

Man your voice is so unique and profound love it

I love this and also that type of fragrances. Reminds me my grandpa who was using bowl with his brush to put on his shaving cream and then shave with razor or razor blade. Just love this patchouli and oak moss. Really nice fougere and bring a lot of memories.

🔥Aaron is my go-to guy for fragrance reviews.

I got a sample of this year and on first sniff I wasn't entirely sold (I find barbershop fragrances a bit sickening) but have persevered and like it enough to own a small bottle. Perfect for this time of year. Rogue Perfumery do some great modern interpretations of older style fougeres. Chypre Siam in particular is intriguing. I have a sample but now considering purchasing. One perhaps for a future review?

Thank you for the Rogue Perfumery recommendation! Will definitely be checking out their sample collection.

I’d love to see you review any Orto Parisi!

Rocking the beard!

Aaron, I would encourage you to review Beau de Jour private blend edition -- it is so much longer lasting, deeper, mercurial and weird in a good way. It's got all that herbaceous stuff that gets integrated in the ambery dry-down in a very beautiful way.

Great review. I’d like it if you reviewed the private blend version for comparison. It’s stronger and more robust, in my opinion.

This is now my signature scent. Wear it every day. Love it.

Would love to see you do a review of parfums de Marley Greenley, I absolutely love the stuff!

This is currently my fav spring/autumn day frag with Daddy and myths man as my main autumn/winter night frags.

Aaron, Id love for you to do 're reveiw' on a frag you've done before. Because that review was no doubt in my mind the best review I've ever seen. The frag is Pardon by Nasomatto. Your emotions were out of control dude.

The fragrance that Beau De Jour smells like is Zino Davidoff. It's like a niche version of that. I like layering Beau De Jour with Calvin Klein Obsession. I love the way it smells and get great performance with it on my skin.

The Private Blend version of BdJ is excellent. One of the really great modern male perfumes. See if you can grab a decant of it and compare.

I love Beau de Jour, I am really curious what you have to say about it .. LET' S GO!

In the last video , you rushed the greetings, but this one was perfect!! Hope all is well, great video! Im doing fantastic and very well as well lol!

I love your reviews...

This was a slow burn for me….much like Tobacco Oud. I have this but the Private Blend bottle. It was too herbaceous for me in the opening but the more I wore it, the more my nose adjusted and loved it. The dry down is gorgeous and projects massively….haven’t tried the Signature Line to be able to compare. Since I’ve been going back into the office, this has started to become a signature fragrance. Cheers!!

I tested this in a store a couple of months ago, and it’s a pretty damn good scent. Haven’t tried many Tom Fords, but Oud Wood didn’t do anything for me and Tobacco Vanille was just as good as Beau de Jour. Great review

Hi Aaron thanks for your YT Chanel, love to watch your reviews. I will be very happy to se how you review Marc Antoine Barrois- Ganymede

I really appreciate your in depth review and view on fragrances! Your review on "Gucci Guilty Absolute" was one of the reasons why I purchased the 'hunter gatherer - scent'.

I still haven’t smelled this one Aaron but I do love lavender fragrances

Aaron! You should try something in the region of, cardamom, pink pepper, sweet orange, or lime, , sharp lavender, patchouli, vetiver, leather, musk, oud & cedarwood. Give it a go please.

I respect that even though you may personally not wear certain fragrances, you still praise the quality of them.

Would love to see what you think about Costa Azzura :)

This will be my next spring fragrance

Got a spray on my wrist once, and could smell it on the sleeve of my jacket from 10cm away 6 months later. And I wished I loved the fragrance-profile/style, because its such quality for money.

Thanks Aaron

all time favorite

Another great review!! Being I have no desire to smell all geriatric like a barbershop in America or abroad, this is a hard pass for me 🤣🤣🤣

I really like your reviews, especially how you go in detail. Is there a chance you could review "Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi"? I need advise for a summer scent

I love this scent! Sadly, since this video has been recorded, the price has gone up to £94 for 50ml or £130 for 100ml. I have an 100ml of this and it's stunning. Beau De Jour translates to, "a beautiful day".

I hope I'm not being annoying or anything, but just to clarify, as a french native speaker, "Beau De Jour" would translate to "Beautiful By Day". "A Beautiful Day" would be "Un Beau Jour" or "Une Belle Journée". Again, I'm not trying to say you're wrong, just trying to spread knowledge haha, my English is far from perfect also :).

Remarkable review

My favourite TF currently, reminds me of the Lacoste Original from the 80s

One of my favorites..

They did a great job with this reformulation, however I'm still all about the Private Blend version - My signature for years now. It's an absolute love & one of the best fougere/barbershop scents ever released. The flanker fougeres (Fougere D'Argent / Fougere Platine) were also very nice but BDJ just rocks. This signature version is a great value no doubt, but Private Blend still wins out across the board; scent, performance, etc. They really overdosed the mint a bit too much with the new one IMO... It's still great but not as good as the balance in the original.

Bought it for my dad and he loved it .. I love it as well 👌 A manly mans fragrance. It has freshness, green, erathy, freshspicy, woody to die for. Wear this when it is 🌧 and you will smell amazing

"Lavender pulses", oh dear!. 😂 On point, Aaron 😂

beau de Jour is one of my favorite fougeres

Lavender & Geranium is literally the barbershoppy shaving cream accord. If you want to make such a retro fragrance, you need this accord in the heart and build the the whole thing around it. I told you before that I'm sure many of your gentlemen customers would love such a fragrance from you made in your own style.

I would love you to assess MDCI Chypre Palatin!

I just picked up a bottle and I can't get enough. The lavender is so well done. This has become one of my favorites out of my 70 frags.

Excellent breakdown as usual. Long lasting yes, but not for me. I just didn't like this at all!... I got this after watching a review and was a blind buy, but boy was I not disappointed. Not that it is a bad perfume, but it just didn't work well on my skin and to be honest, I didn't like the smell at all!... I will be more cautious next time buying this type of perfume (barbershop) and possibly smell it in a shop next time before buying this sort. Saying that I did like the simple bottle and was comfortable holding and spraying it. But sorry not for me.

Love your reviews, an education each time! How do you feel about Beau De Jour in comparison with something like Platinum Egoiste? I’m interested in aromatic fougeres and have been looking out for more barbershop fragrances that don’t smell dated.

Two days on the skin even after a shower. It’s rare to encounter designer fragrances that are made with integrity - if they cost a lot, I feel that they should perform well.

Hi, Please also do Costa Azzura

Aaron you should try Rive Gauche Pour Homme, even if you don't like I believe it's technically great (IMHO). Another barbershop fougére.

Great review again. Have tested it and I get great projection and longevity from it. (But I know that's subjective and many factors change that experience.) I compare it to Platinum Chanel Egoiste, which I think is a much better fragrance, but less dense and doesn't last as long. Thanks for another great review!
