BEAU DE JOUR EDP

As if we’re not already spoilt for choice when shopping for a Tom Ford fragrance, the designer has now introduced Beau de Jour EDP to his Signature collection. Ford described the fragrance as “classic” and “sharp”, in that it reminds you of a respectable barbershop.

The EDP offers a refreshing burst of lavender, patchouli and rosemary, which are exactly what you find in those good old gentlemen’s aftershaves. It then dries down to hints of mint, basil and oak moss, before green geranium takes over in the warm, lingering base.

Overall, it’s a charismatic scent that will make an effective if invisible accessory, whether in the boardroom or at the bar.
