7 Best Fragrances for a Beginner Collection

If I were helping someone build a first collection, I’d start with a few different styles they could compare. Explorer, Jimmy Choo Man Ice and Prada L’Homme give you useful starting points for that conversation without requiring a shelf full of bottles.

Polo Deep Blue Parfum, Code Parfum, Y EDP Intense and Wanted by Night expand the choices. Work out what you want to wear during an ordinary week, then look for something that adds a different mood. You don’t need all seven. A couple of fragrances you understand and enjoy will tell you much more about what to try next.
