About Beau De Jour
Beau De Jour is a fresh, herb-forward cologne for men from Tom Ford with an opening built around lavender. The aromatic heart centers on rosemary, tying the composition together with clean, confident energy. The dry-down fades into a soft, lasting base of patchouli.
On skin, Beau De Jour typically delivers solid longevity (6–8 hours) with moderate sillage — noticeable in close quarters. The price point — $195 at retail — reflects Tom Ford's positioning, packaging, and distribution overhead more than the cost of the formulation itself.
How to wear it
Clean, fresh, and broadly appealing, Jeremy works well across most settings — work, travel, casual social. Reads as fresh without being generic.For best longevity, apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) on moisturised skin.
How we matched it
Our perfumers studied Beau De Jour's note structure — the lavender opening, the rosemary heart, the patchouli dry-down — and built Jeremy around that same architecture. The aim isn't a molecule-for-molecule clone; it's a faithful interpretation of the scent character at a price the market doesn't normally allow for.
What's the same: the aromatic family signature, the note progression on skin, the longevity profile (8+ hours on most skin types). Where it can differ: small accord nuances in the first 30 minutes — the most volatile part of any fragrance — and slight projection variation depending on your skin chemistry. We're transparent about that. Your nose will tell you the truth before any review can.
Every Fragrenza fragrance is formulated as Eau de Parfum, vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. The juice does the work; the price reflects the juice, not the brand campaign budget.

per spray · ~600 sprays/bottle
A standard atomiser pushes about 0.1ml per spray, so a 60ml bottle delivers around 600 sprays before it's empty. At $69.99, Jeremy works out to roughly $0.11 per spray. The Tom Ford original at $195 sits at about $0.33 per spray — same volume, same delivery, very different per-use cost.
Project that across a year of regular wear — three times a week, two sprays per wear, about 312 sprays a year — and Jeremy runs roughly $36.39 for the year, against roughly $101.40 for Beau De Jour. That's about $65.01 a year staying in your wallet — the difference covering the brand campaigns, retail concession fees, and prestige packaging that don't change what's inside the bottle.
