My first niche fragrance was Diptyques Tam Dao, this was before I knew what niche was. My boyfriend at the time had a friend that worked at Diptyque i ended up buying things from Diptyque often, especially the candles. That was like 8 years ago. I wasn’t into fragrances I had maybe 2-3 bottles at a time. The only companies I knew were Tom Ford, Diptyque, Jo Malone, Byredo and Atelier Cologne. I only recently really got into fragrances last year and now I’ve been exposed to everything from Middle Eastern, Celebrity, Designer to Niche. It’s been fun!
BR540, Gentle Fluidty Gold, Delina, Kilian's Angel Share, and TF Tobacco Vanille were my first. With all the newness and brands out now, I haven't played in them, but this video has me wanting to revisit them. Thanks another great video.
My starters was Bacarat 540, the Barcarat 540 extrait then Oud Satin Mood parfum, delina , oud satin mood extrait! Great review , we definitely have most of our first niche fragrances in common!
Delina started it for me! My husband got a decant for me and I hated it for a year. Then one day I pulled it out and LOVED it! That started my fragrance obsession.
MFK Oud Satin Mood is the truth. I’ve got a bunch of samples of it but I actually bought the extrait and it has to be absolutely cold out to wear it. And it truly does make a statement, it has a presence that is undeniable and commands your attention.
I’m relatively new to niche and only started collecting them this year. My first was Mancera Intense Cafe then Parfums De Marly Cassili, Initio Musk Therapy and MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold. I’m excited as I’ve got Nishane Hundred Silent Ways and Atelier Des Ors Pink Me up coming for Christmas 🎄
I got MFK BR540 extrait first got a large sample of the EDP but looking to get the 6.8 oz soon it is that good and the lotion and shower get to match with it is a killer.
I wasn’t into fragrances at all. I had never heard of any of these niche houses. I got a sample of BR540 and my mind was blown. I know the rest of the fragrance world was already over it but to me, it was new and unique. I would get compliments every time I wore it. That’s when I jumped down the rabbit hole to see what else was out there.
Good Morning, 540 started my collection too. I smelled it pre 2020 and one day I was in Neimans and I walked by a woman and I was like what in the world do you have on and it was that. I immediately other counter and purchased and the rest is history. Have a beautiful Sunday and an amazing day.
Silver Mountain Water was my first and I didn’t know anything about Niche or Designer. I smelled it over a decade ago and dude told me the price and i saved up and bought it. It was amazing..
Mine started with Serge Lutens’ Feminite du Bois at Barney’s before they closed for good and also Frederic Malle’s POAL. This opened my eyes and my nose to what fragrance is when you have an open mind and you want to smell unique. Also, Killian’s Liasons Dangereuse. I feel like it’s Good Girl Gone Bad older sister. I love the early days of Killian.
Hi😊 Nice video. The Niche fragrances that started my collection was Creed Adventus for Her, Creed Floralie, Creed Royal Princess Oud, and Clive Christian Jump Up and Kiss Me💜
Delina, definitely on the list... I'm going to be honest...i started with a Dupe with this one, but after wearing the dupe and getting compliments..i knew i needed the Real Deal😂😂😂 and I got it
Well, your collection started out with a bang! Mine started with: Ramon Monegal Flamengo, Frassai: Blondine & Teisenddu, Delina Exclusif, La Rosée, BR 540 Extrait, Oud Satin Mood, Grand Soir, Florabotanica, Rouge Malachite, Vert Malachite. Apart from the first 3, the rest was blind buys from Karina Waldron recommendations, I was lucky they all worked out. After that, I started sampling. ❤❤
Hi Santa! POAL definitely requires a fur coat and red bottoms. I first discovered POAL through your review and sampled it immediately after. POAL started my love of rose fragrances. However Killian RIL, Angel's Share, PDM Oriana, Delina Exclusif, Xerjoff Dama Bianca, and Nishane Ani started off my budding niche collection. I agree that cold weather fragrances tend to stand out more. Lovely video.
My first Niche fragrance was Creed Royal oud, then Bal d'afrique, POLA, Lost cherry, Delina exclusif then BR Extrait. I still love them all and Royal oud remains my fav cold weather season although my collection has gotten significantly larger. I rarely wore Lost Cherry so i decluttered I but BR Extrait, i cant let go just yet although i rarely wear it. I found that i am not at all into gourmand fragrances but BR Extrait is staying for now.
My niche collection started with Meraki Petek Maison Passion. I've had that one for almost two years. My most recent purchases were PDM Oriana, PDM Valaya, PDM Delina La Rosée and Le Labo Santal 33. I ordered PDM Delina and MFK baccarat rouge 540 extrait a few days ago but I haven't received it yet. I ordered some of these because I have the BBW Everyday Luxuries Collection and I wanted to see how close they are to the actual fragrance they dupe.
I'm fairly new, like 1 year in to fragrance. Mine were PDM Valaya, Bond No.9 Greenwich Village, V Canto Stricnina, Liquide Imaginaire Blanche Bete & Byredo Bal D'afrique. 🥰
Hundred Silent Ways and Gentle Fluidity Gold started it for me. Oriana followed next. I got a sample of Guidance pretty early on but it took me multiple tries over many months before I decided I loved it.
Portrait of a lady I’ve been hearing about this first place I heard of it was bowtie frequent sky and ever since I’ve had it on my list definitely gonna get it. Don’t know about this year but maybe sometime next year we’re gonna add it to the collection.
I love these fragrances. The only one I don't have is Musc Ravegeur. And I have tried it in store before, but I don't remember how it smells. I must have tried it on with a bunch of other things 🙈
Bond no 9 Chinatown started my niche journey. I absolutely adore BR 540 esp the extrait. I cannot do rose fragrances very often …Delina gives me a headache😢 I miss out on so many fabulous fragrances because I can’t do the rose note. But I got a sample of Love Delight and that one I love and it does a have a rose note so🤷🏻♀️ if the rose note is way in the back ground and anchored well then I must be ok. My skin turns the rose note screechy for some reason.
My very first Niche was Creed Aventus then I got into Bond No. 9 and went wild then MFK, Then Xerjoff, some Mancera then some Parfum De Marly added a few Amouage still got a few more I want.
Do samples count? Because I have a collection 😅 Your videos started my sampling journey bc I love perfume but see I love being debt free more so the debt has to go before I dare pay these prices for a scent! Buuuuut I still want to smell smell smell 😂 My first 5 niche samples were PDM Delina && Delina Exclusif (way back when b4 I even knew what a niche was), Creed Centaurus, PDM Althair && Kilian Smoking Hot. 🙂🙃
The niche fragrances that started my collection were definitely BR540 and Delina. I still love both to the day too!
Those are modern day classics!
Mine too!!!

Delina is the most beautiful, timeless, and feminine fragrance I've ever smelled. Worth every penny.

That extrait version is something serious! I love the EDP so much.
My first niche was gifted to me! Gentle Fluidity Gold 💛
Mine were gifted too. Yay gentle fluidity gold!
