Bought this at Harrods last week after sampling in store, and am really loving its presence as I go about my day. Performance wise I can't fault it. It lasts the entire 9-5 day and I'm still smelling of it back at home. I don't tire of the smell either, unlike some other fragrances. Happy to apply this on consecutive days, which is rare considering my collection of over 100 fragrances to choose from :)

Got my nose on this just before Christmas when I’d heard it was coming to the signature line. It absolutely blew me away! To me an incredibly classy fougere! The sort I’ve been looking for, for ages. Was thinking there had to be tweaks of sorts given the price difference, thanks for the comparison. Cannot wait to pick this up! 👍

Another superb review from you guys. Always so happy to see Wafts from The Loft in my e-mail

I got a bottle of beau de jour for cheap and used it so much that I don't have very much left. So I really appreciate both your Insights into this and learning that it's still a great scent and hasn't been butchered 🙏 Stellar as always.

Smelt the PB last year and liked it it but it got discontinued Seen this at Christmas and jumped at a 50ml and absolutely love it !

Love this one. I also enjoy Fougere D argent a lot. Both amazing. This has a Zino by Davidoff vibe which to me is a big plus. Nice video guys.

Smell 'n' Tell! Seems like a wonderful game for children! Honestly didn't know this one was re-released, but I suppose the bottle is a dead giveaway. Smelled the private blend version and enjoyed it even more than Fougere d'Argent (which tends to fizzle on my skin). So glad that TF is making some excellent fragrances more accessible to the common folk.

Adrian Dooley performance is definitely reduced on the new version. I have the original & tried the PB & new version on each hand & only got a few hours out of the new version. If longevity is a big concern try the PB before it vanishes & only make a judgement when you’ve tried both

I tried this today. I found the first few minutes to be really strong lavendar, almost like Caron pour un homme. After that it became more rounded but was quite faint and pretty much gone after a few hours. Need to give it another go before deciding whether to purchase. Pleased to see it in the more accessable line (vs private blend).

My result as well. The sample in the store was much stronger . The actual bottle seems very weak in performance. No problems with my nose either :)

I want this despite having Rive Gauche. But at the end of the day. Its one of those things, I am genuinely quite excited this was shifted to Signature line. As i noted on IG I think TF felt that the discontinuation of Rive Gauche was a red line and thus created his own to keep that style available. Look forward to getting my nose onto it. Thank you for such a prompt review/sniff

I have the Private Blend version & when I saw the new version I tried both together with one on each hand & found the new version had a much shorter life than the Private Blend & also seemed to have less depth & complexity. As you say if you’re re-releasing the same fragrance for half the price there’s got to be some compromise or cost cutting along the way to make the numbers work. Tom Ford did say his inspiration was that he wanted a fragrance that smelled like ‘Cary Grant’s neck’ which I think gives a good image of what it smells like to someone who hasn’t tried it yet

Tom Barsens Not sure they rectified it at all since there’s Fougere Platine as well, still in the private line and arguably much less enjoyable than the aforementioned two.

Most of the reviews I've seen since among those who have both private Blend and Signature and have spent a great deal of time with both say there is absolutely no difference. Same juice. I hear that Tom Ford reps also say that the juice is absolutely the same but the different bottles may manifest the juice differently. They mention a slightly "camphorous accord". That makes sense because Beau de Jour uses two types of lavender: the normal English spike lavender, and lavendin, a hybrid of English and Portuguese lavender. And the lavendin has more than 10 times the camphor than the normal lavender. So what I think is happening is the mint and lavendin camphor are combining to firm a cool mentholation/camphoration in Beau de Jour.

Tom Ford is a God!

I get the Zino comparisons but only in the opening Beau is in its own class , they should have called this lavender extreme as it just pops lavender , I was worried about it being discontinued and still have an unopened 100ml&250ml flacon 😔, I guess I’ll save them ! I love your reviews , cheers 🍻

Sartorial is quite different, because of the beeswax vibe. It has more in common with RG, although BdeJ does feel like a slightly more modern, refined interpretation of the barbershop fougere, and less of an out and out shaving foam vibe.

Wafts wafts wafts 👍

I thought it was alright. For me personally, if a fragrance is going to go with the shaving cream vibe.. I really want it to smell like shaving cream. This one wasn't sharp enough for me. It felt half assed and too rounded out. Kind of dull. Maybe that was the result of making it "modern". Honestly, I feel Drakkar Noir does what this was trying to do way better. Stronger, sharper, more masculine. Classic shaving cream scent. The performance was decent though. I found it difficult to wash off and could still smell it on my skin after a few scrubs with Dawn. Whereas Drakkar Noir, today, doesn't last well on skin but does perform fairly well on clothing. I wish these niche or artisanal houses, that have access to these regulated materials, would delve back into the 80s powerhouse themes. I think they really set a high watermark of masculine that simply hasn't been touched since. Damn IFRA!
