    Not surprised that I have most of these in my collection. I think once you have smelled enough fragrances, just smelling good is no longer acceptable.😄 I think a lot of the older/discontinued Gucci fragrances fit into this category

  • @markoq1879

    I think Hermes really do this category excellently. I would rate them highest for uniqueness done by a designer brand.

    Im a huge fan of Cartier l'Envol EDP i tested it and bought it on your recommendation and i simply love it, So classy !!!! This is one of my favorite fall 🍂 and spring 🌱 fragrance. I'a perfect mix of sweetness from honey and freshness from lavender ans violet leaves with Iris . My favorite Cartier with Pasha Parfum 👍

    This is a video I like, to name fragrances that smell niche and have a novelty of niche fragrances, not fake niche brands copy other s. Good job Justin, it is a fair list. To me, the recent works by Cartier, like l'envol and decleration parfume, and by Hermes and Guerlain have niche characters, more than some superfiial niche brands, who cares if they are designer brands. And with them, you have the signature of the best master perfumers of time and the quality of ingredients behind these brands, these brands with hundreds of years of history would not mess up their reputation with cheap ingredients. Peace ✌

    Sur le nil is my summer go to. I love the fragrance. The green mango reminds me of the Caribbean. I think the perfumer wrote a book about how he created it. This takes me to a place. Masterpiece! I also have or encens. Beautiful! It pops up from time to time on fragrancebuy. I would also recommend ambre noire from issey Miyake but again difficult to find.

    As a woman I wear Fahrenheit Le Parfum. It resembles Jil Sanders Simply but stronger. One spray is enough for a full wear. Mens fragrances have so much more lastingpower.

    Allways fun to have fragrances in your video which are in my collection as well. In this case i have the prada and the moschino.
    Most of my collection is niche, but also a designer, even though when my sense of smell has evolved i still holding them because they are very unique and interesting for me.
    Always loving this theme for a video

    I've just bought Fahrenheit Le Parfum (though I've not opened it yet, so I can still return it) - seen a couple of people including you say you need to dress up to do it justice. I'm wondering if I've bought the wrong frangrance because my wardrobe is predominantly casual... Will I seem odd if I wear this with casual clothes? I tried it once and just enjoyed it so much, thought to myself, that is a PROPER frangrance...

    Excelent choises again Justin. Eau Sauvage I wear a lot nowadays. Both the EdT as well as the Parfum. Like you say, they are not alike, but the original DNA does continue in the Parfum. You can have both or just one of them, but I personaly keep both in my collection standing side by side doing their own thing on my skin. Funny thing is; when people come to my place and smell both of the bottles they like the Parfum more, but on skin they like the EdT more, but just by a bit.

  • @d.scentgent5382

    One of my fav designers that has a niche profile is Mm Jazz club :), i recently wore it to a jazz performance with the original chet baker band, including john engels, legendary drummer who is now 88 and arrived with a walking stick, then continued on playing perfectly in the pocket, doing solos w his hands. It was a beautiful harmony of my two favorite worlds. Needles to say it made me think of this channel.

Saw it as I was scrolling to add some new fragrances to my collection and I remembered you were the one that brought it to my attention months ago (the video was older but I'm less than a year in with you so yeah). I have very much enjoyed the resurgence of my scent journey after finding your channel. Thank you.

    Your description of Lalique Ombre Noire is very much so on the money. I love that fragrance and can’t wait to bring it back out. I’ve been considering Fahrenheit Parfum and Toy Boy recently. I like the original Fahrenheit so the Parfum may be no brainer. My sister recently recommended Toy Boy to me.

  • @edgardozara97

    Lenvol edt smells good. So im pretty sure that EDP would too. Not a given but Cartier really delivers on their releases. Also, declaration is a classic but i actually own the Soir flanker which i think is also a niche level rose scent as you mentioned in your 1st installation of this series

    I picked up Ombre Noire right around early Spring and sadly only wore it once. I look forward to wearing it this Fall, it smells great. I'm hoping Issey Miyake brings us something on the level of Or Encens, Pulse Of The Night (favorite of all time) Noir Ambre/Argent etc. this Fall/Winter. It's been awhile and for the first time in years we didn't get a special edition Summer fragrance. They're under new direction since Issey Miyake passed, so far I haven't seen much. They have great potential.
    Great video as always. Thank you

  • @ThePhoenixx2012
    @ThePhoenixx2012 Рік тому

    I mean yeah technically.....it's a Designer fragrance by the most literal of terms but it's more like.....descriptor vs belonging. If that makes sense. It BELONGS to a Designer but it feels and smells like a niche fragrance for the reasons you've used in previous videos on this topic. That being said...I totally agree with making that distinction. It adds a bit more to the decision making process when I hear how you describe and classify each individual fragrance instead of blanketing it.

  • @Hoffman_VP
    @Hoffman_VP Рік тому

    Not only does Prada Amber Intense smell niche, it’s also a great flanker of the original. They don’t smell similar to my nose, yet it seems like the nighttime counterpart of the original’s more daytime sensibilities. Like you said, it has such dark qualities while still giving a clean classy vibe. Original is fantastic as well imo.

    I don't buy cologne, and fragrances solemly for compliments because it's my opinion that comes first, and foremost. It's a must that I desire the fragrance first, or I will show no interest, and waste no money purchasing; especially if it's a blind buy. I consider all compliments as my second opinion that confirms, and validates yet still my opinion why I chose to purchase a fragrance.

    Noire Ambre was getting all the hype a while ago, but I think Or Encens beats it hands down. Shades of Kolam is really interesting too. My "niche" designer tips would be the original Chanel Égoïste (not Platinum, BVLGARI Man Terrar Essence, Aramis Havana and Davidoff Zino.All classy and all pretty unique in my limited experience

    I think that people who claim you dislike basic fragrances misconstrue a particular argument. From what I've seen on the channel, you think that fragrance should not be solely about getting compliments. And I agree; if someone dons a fragrance and that must lead to others doing something (such as giving compliments) the act of wearing a fragrance is basically invasive and robbing others of their freedom (because they are robbed of the choice of whether or not to compliment) and I find that evil. It's not tyrant-level evil. Or not even shoplifter-level evil. But for others it might just be easier to twist your argument than face themselves.

    TomAtoe TomOtoe. Why should we disagree about our differences? You like what you like, and I like what I like. There is no one size fit all. No one should be called a snob because of there preferences. This behavior is rude, inconsiderate, ignorant, and an act of bullying; which should not be tolerated. As a matter of fact, we can enjoy them all; if we don't first have to seek approval from the people that disagree with your opinion. This is why opinions don't really matter. I have seen many videos that group and review each category; whether it be basic, or the more favorable niche.
