![]() ![]() The resemblance to Rive Gauche is striking, Beau de Jour is a little softer, cooler and less gay, but the two have more than earned the title of Duftzwillinge. ![]() After a few days with the scent, I can only say: "Great class! Absolutely en par with Tuscan Leather and Tobacco Vanilla, which also means: Relatively linear and little development (apart from the very cool, high-quality lavender in the top note), which is good with the fragrance, though. The bottle is more chic than the 100ml portion, and I will take the 250ml refill swivel with me sometime in Heathrow. The scent itself: Last week I bought the 50ml version from Beck in Munich. If I ever meet Ford, of course I'll ask him - and I'm sure that a knowing smile will flit over his lips and make any further answer superfluous I'm IMMATELY sure that the history of Beau de Jour was the same (with the exception that there were probably no chips on the table, but celery sticks with low fat dip). and whose name is a clear allusion to the film. ![]() and even before the credits end, he jumps up like a tarantula and makes a hectic phone call with his fragrance development team (who are used to his late calls by now).įast Forward two and a half years: Ford's new private blend "Beau de Jour" reaches the boutiques, a fragrance that strongly recalls the legendary Rive Gauche (by Yves Saint Laurent). Suddenly flashes of lightning shoot through the Tom Synapses. ![]() and admire the wonderful fashion that was completely tailor-made by Yves Saint Laurent. So Tom and Richard indulge in the pleasure of film. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the classic (first played in 1967), the entire material was painstakingly reworked so that it runs across the flat screen in a completely new quality. By chance, three days earlier is just one of the great classics of cinema to be reissued: Belle de Jour by Spanish director Luis Buñuel - a surreal-looking story of dominance and submission, eroticism and despair, a film that would rightly outshine 50 shades. The only thing missing is the appropriate film title for the well-deserved relaxation evening. The chips and the gin and tonic are ready. That Ford has a penchant for old films is probably well known from one or the other interview and that his profession is moving image just as much as fashion and fragrance, he has proven as a director in the meantime. And what could give the master more pleasure in his spare time than to indulge in old, cinematic classics? Tom Ford lets his Richard sink deep into his leather couch at home, it's one of those rare times that are not spent with work, but with pleasure. I'm just imagining vividly how Beau de Jour came about:Ī lukewarm summer evening in New York, 2017. Verdict: one of the most fabulous signatures created in recent years. Full and completely TF.ĭurability: lasts a working day - plus some overtime. But that just makes even the biggest body claus a real Baus.įlacon: it hardly gets more stylish. For the office, for the suit, for in between. A masculine lavender blend with chop, jolt and flavour. Just a damn green, damn good men's fragrance. If you think you're safe, Tom Ford is a blender brand, you'll look around for a "Beau de Jour" at the latest. A sensitive symbiosis of fougere and chypre, of "Zino" and "YSL Pour Homme", of classic and timeless, of business and pure style. One of the best and most wearable Tom Fords. "Beau de Jour" is a dream, I can't put it any other way. ![]()
