French Broad — Tom Ford Beau de Jour Impression

Commanding lavender and lavandin open with cool aromatic clarity, sharpened by African rosemary and green geranium. Oakmoss brings a tailored, leather-like depth before patchouli and amber settle into a warm, polished base. French Broad presents the traditional fougère with precision—clean, assured, and unmistakably masculine. Its barbershop character feels classic without becoming dated, balancing crisp herbs and mossy structure with a smooth modern finish.

We chose French Broad for its ability to make the barbershop fougère feel both authoritative and current. Refined without becoming formal and fresh without feeling lightweight, it captures the confidence of a perfectly groomed gentleman and the timeless ritual of beginning the day well.
