My wife and I can attest to the different individual scent profiles. Some fragrances would smell completely different on her, and in contrast would do a 180 on my body. So even if a review is excellent, the scent may not be so excellent on certain people. 😬 Luckily most of the scents Ash prefers also works well for me 👍🤜
Excellent choice was my first niche and I agree with everyone it really is a great stepping stone from designer to niche. I blind bought and at first smell I loved it and even though at the time it was my most expensive it felt worth it.
hii ash id love to see more cheap fragnances, i dont know why i love them i have designer and niche but for some reason i started loving these 20$ 30$no name perfumes
I know it can be really expensive but there is no point (to me at least) to pay less for something you dont LOVE, id rather pay more for something that will be used well, 100ml lasts 1-3 years so its not a actually that expensive
Mancera Black Gold is great and what really smelled very lovely was Killian Smoking Hot that actually smoke of a campfire with the notes of spices is truly fantastic.
Where can I get samples for these niche fragrances? I would love to try them before buying a full bottle.. don’t get me wrong I blind bought aventus and don’t regret it. But I don’t think I can keep making high dollar purchases without being able to try them first.. anybody’s input is helpful
Zoologist TREX is a truly unique experience. Tons of fun to wear. Monstrous sillage and longevity. Literally smells like a day on a prehistoric beach, running from gigantic flesh devouring beasts, only found in movies and books...
Great video Ash! I would say just about anything by Mancera would be great for fragrance hounds getting into niche. Most of them aren’t too challenging, and you can get them for decent prices at discounters. 👍
Nice list. I think Bleecker St was the first cologne I ever bought where the opening was ehh and I made up my mind “I don’t really care for this.” And then the mid/dry down just blew me away and wound up buying a bottle.
I tested Red Tobacco just yesterday for the first time and today Ash and Monika are doing a video on it. Coincidence? I don't think so. (I really love it. Reminds me of l'Homme Ideal Extreme with hints of Tobacco Vanille and even Layton.) Cedrat Boise is a classic by this point. I'm also in the camp of people who think Bleecker Street is overpriced, which prevents me from buying it. Agree that it smells great, though. Gotta check out Purple Label.
I got the YSL, spicebomb extreme, Dior homme intense, Chanel de bleu edp, JPC le male le perpum, 1mill prive and D&G the one edp. What should I add next?
Hey Ash, you know you could easily do stand up comedy right? Dude I have gut wrenching, eye watering laughter when I watch your videos. The fragrance descriptions are just a plus lol.
I would like to hear if you have a recommendation for an upgraded maybe stronger version of something like hanae mori him. Because i love that fragrance but the new bottle edp does not smells as great as the edt. And i would like to know if you know of something similar but better
Actually, tissue type refers to how the scents come off the skin because of skin chemistry. For example, dry skin vs oily. However, people's perception is also different. You smell different to other people than you think you do.
New to the Beast Mode lol . Questions i just bought a parfums de marly layton from ebay top seller, perfume page ect. Im still skeptical. Should i be worried ???
Thanks for listing the names in the description box. Other channels won't and when I asked to please do so..they were rude and nasty..so I unsubscribed. I WILL always watch the whole video with u bc ur personality is wonderful!! Some people I just cant... and they dont deserve my view ! Thank you!! U deserve all for being you!
Heya Ash, I just have to say I am kind of surprised you went with Red Tobacco from Mancera and not Lemon Mint Aoud or Instant Crush. In my humble opinion those would have been more "intro" leaning fragrances. Just my take, keep making awesome videos my friend.
Please make some new videos like you did about top creed and parfums de marly. Also for amouage - Xerjoff - by Kilian - initio. These niche houses don’t get talked about a lot.
Monarch orca def need a spot here ash. Its a throw back to perfumerys history. One note. Pure grey ambergris. Is expensive as fk, but everyone who loves fragrances needs to try a sample at least.
MDCI Invasion Barbare MDCI Chypre Palatin I don't think MDCI is too advanced for beginners. They need a Fougere representative and a chypre representative. Plus the bottles attract beginners. Replace Bond No 9 Bleecker Street with Ralph Lauren Purple Label. Why go expensive niche if you don't have to.
Hey Ash, Friend here... I think that they might have been talking about one's aroma (being unique and dependent upon "tissue type" genes) rather than his olfactory sense. (Just a guess.. And I'd also guess that those vary similarly as well!). Regardless, great video (as always)!
Ineke deserves a huge stop here, for Idyllwild, the absolute most complete deep in a sequoia stand forest fragrance its an absolute masterpiece, how tf was this over looked?
Thanks for this great video Ash! But, one big disagreement! For beginners, one Acqua di Parma “Colonia”, or flancker will be excellent top noch choice, and you can’t find one place for this legendary scent in this video! I am so sad for this!
Names of fragrances on the description highly appreciated. Any links that don't have names next to them on you-tube are imho (and not just mine of course) click-baity greedy links to completely avoid clicking on
i love about fragrances that its sooooo individual that everyone has a different take on it. i just recently tested aventus 1st time - after alllll the hype by the community. man, i would have never thought i dislike it. would never buy it
Niche fragrances are most often very expensive & unnecessary. 1:10,Creed Aventus is the best example of this. Don't feed the Creed greed. Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man does Aventus better for about 1/10 the $.
You’re not making any sense. Creed is a house, not a perfume, and a historical one at that. I have bought two 100ml bottles of Aventus in the span of two months just to stock up, and what I can tell you for certain, is the current batch (221Ν01) is insane. Having smelled dozens of designer scents, some of which quite decent, the difference in depth between these aromachemical-heavy fragrances, and the naturals in Aventus is eye-gougingly noticeable, especially in how the scent morphs onto the skin from opening to drydown. Batch hunting is the way to be miserable about elitist details that literally no nose can even pick up, and if you’re deluding yourself by thinking cheap armaf dupes smell anywhere close to this masterpiece, way to go then. See if anyone cares.
@@muff258 1 I'm not your homie..and 2. Yes..I never typed house, my mistake...if you are talking price point, I still stand by the comment, that Amouage, and parfums de marly 1. Have more hits 2. Aren't changed on any batch release,and 3. Not overpriced for what they are... No one is saying Creed as a house, wasn't or isn't great
Layton gets all the hype for PDM, but I think Pegasus Exclusif is criminally underrated. I would go with Instant Crush over Red Tobacco nine times out of ten.
Candy floss we call fairy floss in Australia. Well, we use to anyway. We use to have fairy penguins too, until the woke crowd were offended and had to change it to little penguins. We probably call it candy floss now as well, been decades since I bought any.
Ash, I heard you mention ‘Indy’ houses? How about a top ten indy fragrances? Thanks for the videos.
Yes.
+1
If he does, I hope he reviews both Manhattan and Miami by City Rhythm.
@@stephenweiss6001 I will have to check those out myself.

Going to buy PDM Layton as my first niche fragrance. Thanks ash
Excellent choice was my first niche and I agree with everyone it really is a great stepping stone from designer to niche. I blind bought and at first smell I loved it and even though at the time it was my most expensive it felt worth it.
I also got Layton as my first niche, and I love it
Carlisle was my first. I love that stuff. Plan on getting red tobacco as well
Check out PDM Pegasus too. Simply amazing vanilla almond bomb.
@@marioturcotte7938 which one is better, Layton or Herod ?
The Interlude line is my favorite in all of perfumery. I have multiple bottles of each.
hii ash id love to see more cheap fragnances, i dont know why i love them i have designer and niche but for some reason i started loving these 20$ 30$no name perfumes
Put me on some of those cheap and nice fragrance

Thanks for the website man, it hard to find niche fragrances everywhere. Nice content too.

Great video Ash! I would say just about anything by Mancera would be great for fragrance hounds getting into niche. Most of them aren’t too challenging, and you can get them for decent prices at discounters. 👍
Santal 33 by Le Labo could have made this list too, great fragrance 👌🏼
Layton is fire for sure
Nice list. I think Bleecker St was the first cologne I ever bought where the opening was ehh and I made up my mind “I don’t really care for this.” And then the mid/dry down just blew me away and wound up buying a bottle.
Love seeing the Gems being reviewed on.... Question, for the Diptyque Fragrances (Philosykos & Tam Dao) are you recommending EDP or EDT edition?
Philosykos EDP is best
I heard that they’re bringing New Haarlem back this year
Yeah I believe next month actually
I tested Red Tobacco just yesterday for the first time and today Ash and Monika are doing a video on it. Coincidence? I don't think so. (I really love it. Reminds me of l'Homme Ideal Extreme with hints of Tobacco Vanille and even Layton.)
Cedrat Boise is a classic by this point.

we need more xerjoff reviews
Defentely 😀
Love the FRAGRANCES FEATURED IN TODAYS VIDEO with the names and links. New to this hobby. Love your videos and the perfume guys.
You are absolutely right. I paid over $200.00 for Elysium and I have some designer fragrances that perform better and get me more complements.
lol
thats why you buy the parfum, which will last for 24 hours even after showering
Facts! I wore it the other day and LITERALLY did like 12 sprays and nothing!!!!
I've never smelled Nio, but I think I need it in my life. Been pondering on getting it for so long I think it's time
YSL Tux... Xerjoff Naxos... Creed Green Irish Tweed???
Definitely liking this video. Aventus, BR540, Layton, Bleecker Street, Elysium Cologne, and Red Tobacco are must-try’s. Holla.
Elysium perfume
@@navarrolevel7 I’d love to get Elysium Parfum
@@traybrook much better than the cologne
Where is Bergamote 22 by Le Labo??? Great list just missing that one. 😊
Layton smells incredible
This list is fire!
A question for you, which would you buy out of Layton or side effect as your 1st niche if it was only between these 2.
Go with Layton. Easy choice. Just remember its a cold weather scent. But it is magical.
Lets go, I want to try the 540
Surprised Penhaligons was not mentioned. This niche brand is up there with the very best.
I got the YSL, spicebomb extreme, Dior homme intense, Chanel de bleu edp, JPC le male le perpum, 1mill prive and D&G the one edp. What should I add next?
Chanel Allure Homme Sport
14:19 "so easy to wear, so easy to like... so easy to fade away"
Really enjoy all of your videos.
Very Nice Ash!
Hey Ash, you know you could easily do stand up comedy right? Dude I have gut wrenching, eye watering laughter when I watch your videos. The fragrance descriptions are just a plus lol.
Kept waiting for Memo African Leather 🤔
Me too 😂😣
It's a masterpiece, complexity, layers of joy
Question. What is the Creed Aventus of the women's scent?
The winks when talking about the 540 clones 😂😂😂
Do fragrances expire?
nope
have you tried INVASION BARBARE
I would like to hear if you have a recommendation for an upgraded maybe stronger version of something like hanae mori him. Because i love that fragrance but the new bottle edp does not smells as great as the edt. And i would like to know if you know of something similar but better
I know you’re a fan of “green” fragrances, did you like Central Park from Bond before they discontinued it?
My favorite subject.
Actually, tissue type refers to how the scents come off the skin because of skin chemistry. For example, dry skin vs oily. However, people's perception is also different. You smell different to other people than you think you do.
Do you have any knowledge on Hugo Boss The Collection new fragrances?
Can red tobacco be worn all year round?
Absolutely not.
New to the Beast Mode lol . Questions i just bought a parfums de marly layton from ebay top seller, perfume page ect. Im still skeptical. Should i be worried ???
Which store/what is their feedback percentage?
Enjoying the videos. Ideas to add to the collection
Love the niche content
Do you know any Dua fragrances that clones any of the Profumum Roma or Jovoy fragrances
You are soooo entertaining! GREAT JOB! Love your channel. Can I ask though, what's your day job? Are you in the fragrance biz? thanks again!
@Gents Scents i have question - do you know some mix of this two fragrances: Aventus + Terre d'Hermes ?
I hit like at "tissue type" 😬😏 risked it all 😅 great vid as usual!
awesome video and list
Thanks for listing the names in the description box. Other channels won't and when I asked to please do so..they were rude and nasty..so I unsubscribed. I WILL always watch the whole video with u bc ur personality is wonderful!! Some people I just cant... and they dont deserve my view ! Thank you!! U deserve all for being you!
No Nishane?!
I really enjoy Tam Dao, nice woody aromatic spicy fragrance and I get decent performance too.
Heya Ash, I just have to say I am kind of surprised you went with Red Tobacco from Mancera and not Lemon Mint Aoud or Instant Crush. In my humble opinion those would have been more "intro" leaning fragrances. Just my take, keep making awesome videos my friend.
i am obligated to buy that xerjoff one.
Hey @Gents Scents! At some point can you talk about Zoologist house? A little guide. :) Thank you!
What about nishane hacivat?
Please make some new videos like you did about top creed and parfums de marly. Also for amouage - Xerjoff - by Kilian - initio. These niche houses don’t get talked about a lot.
I would add Acqua di Parma Essenza to this list, one of best neroli fragrances ever created. Great beginner's niche list Ash..
I'm from New Zealand, and since we have British heritage, we call it candy floss as well
I can't find 1 amouage fragrance I like maybe Jubilation
Monarch orca def need a spot here ash. Its a throw back to perfumerys history. One note. Pure grey ambergris. Is expensive as fk, but everyone who loves fragrances needs to try a sample at least.
MDCI Invasion Barbare
MDCI Chypre Palatin
I don't think MDCI is too advanced for beginners. They need a Fougere representative and a chypre representative. Plus the bottles attract beginners.
Replace Bond No 9 Bleecker Street with Ralph Lauren Purple Label. Why go expensive niche if you don't have to.
Which of these would you wear with a suit on your wedding day in a hall?
Can anyone recommend a fragrance that gives that soapy type smell?
If you dont mind buying designer, try pradas lineup. They have many typical soapy fragrances like Prada pour l'homme, amber etc.
Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village is also nice
No BTFP?
Vanille havane man best new winter fragrance in a while
Hey Ash, Friend here... I think that they might have been talking about one's aroma (being unique and dependent upon "tissue type" genes) rather than his olfactory sense. (Just a guess.. And I'd also guess that those vary similarly as well!). Regardless, great video (as always)!
Uden
Layton
Lafayette street
Oud for Greatness
El Born
Fig Man
Philosykos
Oud Satin Mood
Himalaya
Baraonda
I love br540 extrait!!
Ineke deserves a huge stop here, for Idyllwild, the absolute most complete deep in a sequoia stand forest fragrance its an absolute masterpiece, how tf was this over looked?
Thanks for this great video Ash!
But, one big disagreement!
For beginners, one Acqua di Parma “Colonia”, or flancker will be excellent top noch choice, and you can’t find one place for this legendary scent in this video!
I am so sad for this!
Lool that's in your opinion
Dua needs to be here for: Intimacy, Caribbean Mojito
Video Idea - best 10 niche fragrances, and their best clones :)

This is 2 years later, and I just bought a bottle of New Harlem.
Surprised you didn't mention the house of amouage !!!
Parfums de Marley Herod for me
Tissue type!!!
my tissue type is niche
I like Portrait of a Lady more than Musc Ravaguer Ash.
I'll take Uden over Neo.
Creed used to be a great fragrance....after batch after batch...I wouldn't say it's any better than Amouage or Parfums de marly
Creed isnt a fragrance homie

Triumph of baccus >> red tobacco. But only barely.
Layton gets all the hype for PDM, but I think Pegasus Exclusif is criminally underrated.
I would go with Instant Crush over Red Tobacco nine times out of ten.
Red Tobacco for beginners 😅😅
It's 2022 and I've yet to try Layton, Interlude or Elysium. I'm ashamed of myself!
Candy floss we call fairy floss in Australia. Well, we use to anyway. We use to have fairy penguins too, until the woke crowd were offended and had to change it to little penguins. We probably call it candy floss now as well, been decades since I bought any.
I got a tissue transplant and i'v never looked back !
Where's Amouage Reflection BOI?
What does niche scent even mean? From someone new to perfumes...
why interlude for beginners!
Aventus is missing lol
