About this video
Your first collection doesn’t need to be large. This beginner’s list includes Montblanc Explorer, Dylan Blue, Missoni Wave, Gentleman Boisée and Jimmy Choo Man Ice, with other options to explore as you learn what you like. I’d start with a small shortlist and spend time with it before buying several bottles.
Explorer and Dylan Blue both feature here, so their comparison is an easy next step: woody and leathery on one side, aquatic and spicy on the other. The Boisée comparison below gives you a separate option to explore if iris, cocoa and woods sound more appealing.
