- What does Beau de Jour smell like?
- It is a lavender-forward fougère: clean lavender on top, herbal rosemary, geranium and basil in the middle, and oakmoss, patchouli and amber underneath. The result is green, mossy and slightly leathery rather than sweet.
- How long does it last?
- As an eau de parfum it generally lasts most of a day on skin, with the lavender opening fading into the mossy base over several hours. Performance varies with skin type and how much you spray.
- Is it good for the office?
- Yes. Its clean, formal character suits office and daytime wear, though it projects strongly, so one or two sprays is usually enough in close quarters.
- Is this the Private Blend or the Signature version?
- Beau de Jour started in Tom Ford's Private Blend line and was later released in the Signature collection. The scent is the same lavender fougère; the bottles and branding differ.
- Is it a good gift for a man?
- It suits men who like classic, lavender-based fragrances and formal-smelling scents. It is a weaker choice for someone who prefers sweet, fresh or sporty styles.
- How does it compare with other Tom Ford men's scents?
- It is greener and more traditional than the sweet, spicy Private Blend releases and much less smoky than the oud-based ones. Think barbershop freshness rather than leather, tobacco or vanilla.
