Tom Ford Beau de Jour
Do you think Tom Ford is worth it, I've tried a few samples, only one of which I really like, Tabacco Vanille. From a value viewpoint they seem to be extremely overpriced for what they are.Quote:

Its crazy, there are some great copies that were reviewed with the originals and carried out in a blind test and most couldn't tell the difference.Quote:

I would also say with more exposure to various fragrance you developed a better nose and can start telling the difference between them more. What was these are very similar is now not even close
2/3 the price would make it a little more palatable but I still cant understand how the ingredients to make the fragrance costs that much. There are plenty of top tier fragrance houses that cost half of what Tom Ford and Creed does.
Still I can understand that some people can distinguish the different scents that make up the fragrance.

Paul Sebastian cologne
Jean Paul Gaultier Ultramale today at work. Le Male Le Parfum for out tonight.
Is a lot like any hobby or shaving even. Starting out for razor, brush, soap and strop was an outlay you are very conscious of. Next thing is a $300 Kanayama strop, Japanese natural stone, shavemac brush and custom razor. Can still have a great shave with what you started with but it no longer seems adequate. :shrug:Quote:
