Fragrance Favorites Worth Revisiting

Some fragrance collections are useful simply because they bring several interesting bottles back to your attention. Here I’m revisiting Bleu Électrique, Fahrenheit Parfum, L’Homme Idéal Extrême, Rochas Man Intense, Light Blue Italian Love, Y Eau Fraîche and Detour Noir.

Bleu Électrique and Detour Noir are good places to start if you like exploring alternatives as well as the originals. The Bleu Électrique guide looks at its aromatic, spicy direction, while the Layton guide includes Detour Noir among the options for that fruity vanilla-and-wood style. I’d use those comparisons to narrow your next sample and keep the rest of the collection in mind for a different mood.
