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 :)
It's great stuff! Enjoy your purchase!
I really interested in buying. I find this is a day scent not a evening scent?
Just bought it gents! AWESOME smell... Very classy fragrance.
Enjoy!
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.
Stelios Con how do you find FdA to compare?
@@aquababy5 FDA is sweeter and slightly more modern but also has the classic fougere character of course. You can't go wrong with either of these two.
Thanks!
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.
Robert Quinlan definitely not butchered , but definitely toned down
BDJ is one of my favorites. I have 2 bottles of the PB line and i cant wait to pick this one up
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! 👍
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.
Yes, it's one of the best designer releases from anyone in a while
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
Thanks! I do think it feels more 'modern' than Rive Gauche. I'd also highly recommend Paisley by Geo F Trumper
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Thank you! I did get my nose on BdJ and was very impressed. Its currently on my possibly maybe list! As regard to Trumper- I will take a look. Thanks again
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 !
Older TF Private Blends have a little more magic- Vert d' Encens (2016) is one of my favorites.
Don't tell anyone! My secret 💪
Another superb review from you guys. Always so happy to see Wafts from The Loft in my e-mail
Thanks!
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
Ah, I hadn't read that. Thanks for letting us know!
This is Tom's personal scent and the only TF he wears.
I really like the fragrance of this on paper, but not on my skin for some reason, which is a bummer because I really like Grey Vetiver on my skin.
Really love the "original" very curious about this one, maybe will be part of my collection, look at that gorgeous bottle too
Samuel Gustav definitely try both side by side as I didn’t get the same performance out of the new version !
Great! Thank you! Will you make a Top10 Winter Video? :) Best wishes from Munich
One of the best releases
Certainly is.
This is my go to Spring , Summer fragrance .
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 🍻
Thanks! I've never actually tried Zino!
Wafts from The Loft Well you should ! You really should ! 😉 Btw I love your channel, very classy and for gentlemen. Cheers from a young fougere lover (I’m 29) from Italy 😊
That lavender blast at the opening is like nothing else
Hello gentlemen
I bought this perfume today. Can you tell me where you put it on? And how many sprays? I trust you.
One to each wrist, one to each side of the neck, one to the chest one to the back of the head.
Great review guys! Really need some infos before i pull the triger on this one, thanks
Thanks for watching!
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.
Nice review , first one I’ve seen of the release of this in the signature line. I was gonna buy this but am a little concerned from the comments and review about the difference compared to the private blend. Performance would be especially important for me.
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).
the1big1matt it’s more accessible (& cheaper) but they have definitely reduced the longevity & complexity so that’s the compromise you’re making. If you want better longevity try the PB version before it disappears & see what you think
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 :)
Yep, buying this today.
The private blend is so much better than the signature line that I don't even consider them the same fragrance. BDJPB is one of my top, perhaps my favorite, scents of all time.
Fougère L'Aube by Rogue! Thanks for the review.
One of the many greats from Rogue!
Tom Ford Ombré Leather - de jour comme de nuit
Saludos desde modesto California. Chingones sus videos
It's great! I think you guys need to try Roi Sans Equipage for the ultimate Fougere
I've been slightly avoiding that house in case I fall in love
Is this better then Rive Gauche, or Third Man by Caron?
Yes, I prefer it to Rive Gauche. It’s quite different to 3eme homme, I prefer the Caron, but can justify owning both
Tom Ford is a God!
Thanks brothers nice review ❤️
Thanks!
Thank you for another great review guys! After the Signature Line release hits the discounters, 100 ML will be available for a great price. Trying to decide if getting the Private Blend now is worth the extra cost for better depth/performance. What do you think I should do?
If you can afford it, the PB is a better fragrance.
Lol. I’m wearing Drakkar noir rightnow
Classic stuff!
If i have a new unopened bottle of beau de jour private blend is it worth saving or with it never gain value?
I think it will gain value, so if you're looking to make money I'd hang onto it for a while
Hello. I've got the chance of 500ml of the private version. You think it's worth it?
The 250ml you mean!
@@dimi2059 correct. I've just bought it today too
Any similarities with Platinum Channel egoeiste ?
Slightly. A little bit of soapy/shaving cream overlap. BDJ smells more herbal whereas Platinum smells sharper and more metallic
Perhaps a little, but I've always found something slightly sweet and cloying about PE
Good to know. PE is my favorite all time scent and I just ordered BDJ. I appreciate all of your comments
how does it compare to Rive Gauche, Sartorial or Paco PH?
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.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Thank you it sounds like something I will would enjoy
I need it!
Would you consider reviewing Puredistance line like Gold and black?
Yes, we may do, but they are very expensive!
@@WaftsfromTheLoft that's why I always recommend just sampling, at least when it's possible
Bonsoir 🤔Pouvez-vous me dire la différence entre beau de jour en flacon et belle de jour en Private blond 🤔🤔merci par avance
Nice review
Thanks!
Lovely juice
Certainly is!
the best in the game
To be honest, that one not deserves 180$$ , its smell like a cologne , if that around 120$$, yeah i will buy it but for 180$$ i can buy a niche one
Wafts wafts wafts 👍
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE 2 PURCHASE THIS FRAGRANCE
Debenhams
@wildebest OK THANK U VERY MUCH 4 RESPONDING
It's widely available in the UK, and believe it's now available in the US
My favorite TF PB is Fougere d’Argent, word is it’s being continued. Does anyone know if there are plans to roll it into the signature line like Beau De Jour?
why should they release it in the signature line? They have a Fougère now, makes no sense to me after Beau de Jour. Maybe it will be discontinued soon or maybe not, but i doubt we will see it in the signature line any time soon.
Tom Barsens Why did they have multiple Fougere fragrances in the private line to begin with? Because they have different dna.
@@jpizz88 they rectified that though by moving it away. The next signature release will either be a feminine or unisex release, maybe something darker rather than a fougère. Just my two scents, someone mentioned Noir de Noir, which i would rather agree with.
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.
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!
Yes, as we say, it's definitely a modern take on the classic barbershop fougere, with some rounded edges. Have you tried Rogue? They make IFRA non-compliant vintage style fragrances, with bags of oakmoss.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft I'll definitely have to look into them. I should add I just received a bottle I ordered called Dakar by Al-Rehab. A near perfect clone (highest rated on Fragrantica) of the original Drakkar Noir. With real oakmoss. Its absolutely beastly. 50 ml (spray version) brand new for under 10$. I highly recommend it. Smells just like it
Nothing beats Pinaud and cost 7 dollars
Dear Dan and Joe: I am a subscriber and enjoy your videos. After trying different perfumes, I have come to the point where I do not wish to wear perfumes that project strongly and last all day. I would like to gift you with my new, sealed Beau de Jour private blend 250 mLs. Please let me know how to contact you.
love you, guys
Thanks!
