8 Fragrances for Collectors: Warm and Distinctive Scents

There’s plenty to explore once you move beyond the most familiar everyday bottles. This collection includes Noir Extreme Parfum, The Scent Magnetic, Gentleman Réserve Privée and Valentino Uomo Intense. Tonka Cola, Stronger With You Tobacco, Le Male Aviator and Prada Luna Rossa Black round out the eight choices.

If the iris-and-whisky combination sounds interesting, start with the Réserve Privée guide. Noir Extreme has its own buying guide as well, specifically for the gold-bottle Parfum featured here. That distinction matters if you already know the EDP and want to decide whether the Parfum deserves a separate sample.
