7 Colognes to Build a Versatile Fragrance Collection

Building a collection is easier when each bottle gives you a reason to reach for it. Brioni Essentiel, Carlisle, Acqua di Gio Parfum, Intense Cedrat Boise, Sauvage Elixir, Luna Rossa Ocean Le Parfum and L'Homme Ideal Parfum are the choices I'm bringing together here.

I'd begin with the gap in your own rotation. Carlisle's dark sweetness and woods offer one direction, while Ocean Le Parfum's lemon, saffron and oakwood offer another. Intense Cedrat Boise is worth comparing with the original if that's a fragrance you already know. Start with the bottle that fits a real part of your week, then build from there.
