Fragrance du bois London spice, nishane 100 silent ways ,killan angel share,initio side effect,Uniquee luxury Kutay

[@dorronshapow333]

Vibrato is beautiful and I agree it can lean feminine and the price point...so the alternative I love is the spirit of Kings Arrakis...also Christian Provencano and has the same feel but more masculine. Oh also 1/3 of the price. Regardless both are stunning!

[@MaxForti]

100% agree! spirit of Kings Arrakis gives you the same feel with some minute differences and a better price-point, I did talk about Arrakis on a different video...

[@milkbaby99]

Electimuss Imperium is a very underrated easy wear. I also feel that a Nishane fragrance (take your pick) could also be included on your top list as well.

[@MaxForti]

I appreciate the feedback and yes, Nishane is quality!

[@Alakai123]

I love my Electimuss Imperium smells like a higher quality MontBlanc Explorer IMO

[@juri2001]

This is infimercial and he doesnt have a deal with your brands

[@randy1610]

Nishane, Electimuss, Moresque, Argos, and Unique'e Luxury are several niche houses that I am really getting to know more about lately.

[@juliscent]

Hello 👋 These are very interesting houses. I have never smelled any Unique’e Luxury fragrance. Tomorrow we’ll film the video on unboxing of Moresque ORO, beautiful incense fragrance. Try Emiro by Moresque, it’s fantastic (have 2 bottles of it). Electimuss Amber Aquilaria is very good. I’m really enjoying lately Nishane Sultan Vetiver. For the summer Wulong Cha and Ambra Calabria are great 🔥

[@golub991]

I think we need part 2 of this video. I love it. I just found a new gems like Rose 31. Keep the good work. Greetings from Serbia. 👋

[@MaxForti]

Thanks Stefan, Part2 coming very soon!

[@viggenone]

Never tried Bal de Afrique I've been always curious about it maybe the time has come to get a sample, but I need Tobacco Mandarin First 😁Great list the only ones I would change are: Carlisle for Layton and Dolce Melodia for Vibrato, I will get Arrakis instead of Vibrato, same perfumer more attractive price:. Thanks for the video Max!!!

[@MaxForti]

I do enjoy Arrakis (it's a woodier/spicier) version... Tobacco Mandarin is absolutely incredible... If you enjoy Vetiver than you must try Bal d'Afrique!

[@kevino73]

Nice list. Personally, I would have included Mancera & Nishane on here, but fun video regardless.

[@bmoneybby]

Nishane yes, Mancera is skippable.

[@Dongorgon777]

Reflection45 makes you smell like a king! Amazing fragrance. I prefer it to reflection man. Got to save up for a bottle

[@MaxForti]

100% AGREE!

[@DivineFrag]

The most important thing re: niche is whether you want it to be wearable/approachable/relatively mainstream/safe vs. niche-smelling/more unique/statement making etc. Creed: Royal Oud. Has a unique edge, has wearability in most seasons. Performance is subpar. PDM: Going w/ Layton also, but wouldn't really recommend it for people looking for uniqueness. Amouage: Wouldn't recommend R45 due to price. The scent that has the most utility/functions is Jubilation XXV. The only problem with J25 nowadays is its poor performance. MFK: Thinking BR540 Extrait, but when in need of something simpler and not as popular (still very popular), Grand Soir is probably it. Xerjoff: I'd recommend something more unique like Tony Iommi, a lot of sophisticated layers yet may be too much for some folk. Or for summer, Torino21. Le Labo: I think this is around the edge of top 10, I'm thinking The Noir 29 but there isn't much outstanding from them for niche veterans - a lot of their scents are medium-tier for sophistication. Roja Parfums: I'd go with Enigma, mainly because the OG Elysium performance wise is really poor. Parfum is better, but price is so high that at that point, you may as well buy Isola. Byredo is not a top major niche to me, I'd say top 15. Sospiro isn't even top 15 - the brand, outside of Vibrato, has such a small brand following that calling it major is offensive to the rest of the brands here. I'm not going to include Frederic Malle either. So what am I replacing them with: two massive brands missing here are Kilian and Nishane. For KIlian, I would say Black Phantom is the scent to own. For Nishane, I would say the OG Ani is a must-have. The third slot is one I would give to Initio. I'm pretty confident that brand wise Initio is more popular than Byredo/Sospiro/Malle, Byredo likely is the closest in terms of sales and Malle is the closest in terms of name recognition. A lot of good choices for Initio: for something more unique, Paragon. for something more people-pleasing, Rehab.

[@MaxForti]

Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing!

[@garthwright6308]

Grand Soir is magical! I'm glad I have it. 💯 Music For A While sounds like a must try! Oceania is my favorite from Roja; definitely full bottle worthy.

[@sopito7883]

Nice list Max but this is my opinion don't get mad but is some better Niche fragrances companies than a lot of those you going to mention I'm going to give you a few Boadicea the Victorious. THAMEEN Penhaligons is a bunch of very good houses from Italy the people don't know about keep it up

[@greggraham9785]

Hello Max, how are you? You always do an excellent job! Not a big fan of Creed but I do love Spice and wood, I really dig Royal Water. I have no complaints about the video and list. Stay safe brother

[@MaxForti]

Thanks Greg - always a pleasure to read your feedback! Have a blessed weekend brother!

[@greggraham9785]

@@MaxForti Ditto

[@jimlittle5769]

MUCH better choices here than your designer choices. I agree with the majority of these, especially MFK: Grand Soir...it's a masterpiece! Some key ways we differ on this list: Amouage: Jubilation XXV. Roja: Enigma Parfum Pour Homme.

[@jonathantipke1655]

Music for a While took me by surprise… now one of my favorite fragrances

[@jaciradasilva3657]

Excellent Video Max!

[@basilfabian05]

Love Naxos, even in it's current form. Great scent profile that evolves really well and performs really well too. Awesome stuff

[@mehrantabibzade6364]

Great video just ormond jayne house and diptyque could be there ❤

[@MaxForti]

Both are extremely good!

[@jackdunn6195]

Initio beats the lot- Oud for Greatness, Side Effect, Atomic Rose will be on my list

[@clarencewilliams9432]

I love this video. I, for some reason, would like to ask you to add how many sprays and when the main situation is the fragrance would be worn. Clothes to be mainly worn. Could I put any of these fragrances on with just a tee-shirt and shorts? I know I can wear my fragrance anytime and anywhere I want to. I just want your opinion. I own Xerjoff and Amouage, Tiziana Terenzi, Nishane. My number one fragrance in my collection to me is Mancera Instant Crush. I just adore it. My second is Red Tobacco. Everyone nose is totally different. Thanks for all your videos. You're a down to earth reviewer. Take care and I'll be looking for the next video.

[@MaxForti]

Thanks Clarence. It depends on the situation and occasion. If you want to be noticed - go heavy on the sprays, spraying the clothes always helps for both projection and longevity!

[@duanebonton7716]

Reflection 45 will hold place for me, I had it on when my first born came into the world

[@elvispandurica8693]

I think Dyptique and Profumum Roma should have made it to the list. I would always put these two ahead of Le Labo or Sospiro.

[@MaxForti]

Interesting... Profumum Roma is incredible!

[@gbubemiakperi1205]

Beautiful work as always Max, I would love to see you review Oud For Greatness however 🙏🏾

[@mrbutchie28]

Grand Soir is on my to get list!

[@jacobhiggins111]

If you get grand soir, get naxos at the same time. Spray 2 sprays of grand soir on each side of the neck then hit the same exact spots with a spray of naxos and add an extra spray of naxos only to the back of the neck. The reason being is that grand soir is stronger. The mix of those 2 will turn heads. You'll thank me later

[@acevedobrooklyn]

​@@jacobhiggins111amazing i have them both cant wait till I try this....👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ty

[@jacobhiggins111]

@acevedobrooklyn you can also do grand soir and br540 extrait but the naxos is better

[@lordmalice8368]

I used to think Elysium didn't last long, but the last i wore it, it was lasting about 9-10 hrs! It sits close to the skin and i kept getting walfs! And when i smelled my skin, it was very present still! I sweated my ass off at work one of those days too! I don't like to spray it because its too expensive i think!

[@MaxForti]

I agree, over time I received very good positive marks on Elysium when I couldn't even smell it anymore, the sillage on it is great...

[@silverbacksillage6812]

Great job Max

[@gustavocubac]

Nobody is asking but I’ll give my top 5 Amouage: Enclave Creed: aventus cologne Xerjoff: alexandria II Parfums de marly: Haltane Acqua di parma Oud

[@TimM25]

That’s a 🔥 list! No misses. Nice mix though you have two oud-forward ones (A2 + AdP Oud). I might switch out AdP Oud for something else aromatic or woody but otherwise no complaints!

[@MaxForti]

Fire choices Gustavo - thanks for sharing!

[@maatkheru1042]

Great video,but I would have loved to hear your favorites from each brand

[@julitacabral8567]

Great Video Max! Thank you.

[@stephaneducroquet2617]

Agree with Spice & Wood... if only it was not that super expensive ;pp

[@MaxForti]

that's true, it would be nice to have it for a more affordable price-point!

[@scandaloustr]

Great list :) Nishane is missing :)

[@MaxForti]

Thanks - Maybe feature it on Part 2 ;)

[@MiguelBanda-y5g]

Marly ❤ creed ❤ malle❤

[@johnjohannes5954]

best niche IMO is Amouage at Chong's Era. The best ever for me is Jubilation XXV followed by Lyric Man and Imitatation Man. Reflection 45 is a bad iterration of the OG. This was a miss

[@MYBoMS]

Initio and nishane

[@ogdondadda]

Nice list, but I feel the house of Argos is really underrated

[@JT-rx1eo]

My favorite from those brands: 1. Bois du Portugal 2. Layton 3. Bracken Man 4. Bal d'Afrique 5. Gentle Fluidity Silver 6. Nio 7. Not familiar with house of Sospirito. (Why is this house included in list of top 10 niche brands) 8. Le Labo Santal 33 9. French Lover or Musc Ravageur 10. Elysium, but it's close with Danger and Oceania Took me a while to buy a full bottle of Bal d'Afrique because it leans a tad feminine. Music for a While is a jumbled mess of a composition. Not Carlos Beniem's best. How about: MDCI: Invasion Barbare Serge Lutens: Arabie Certainly those two are more deserving niche houses than Sospirito.

[@gaborvarga7559]

Regarding price points. Some people say that some of these scents are too expensive. They are luxury items. We are also paying for the quality ingredients in the juice. According to Google, my income is in the median range for males in the USA, so I'm not rich, and I often work 60-plus hours a week to reach that income level. However, I would be willing to pay a thousand dollars for an incredible signature scent, 50-100ml, that is unique yet non-offensive. Five hours of fair projection would be good enough. Haven't found it yet. 100 MLS would last me a year, especially if it wasn't my only scent. Granted, I am single, and my expenses only pay for my lifestyle alone. The main reason I am okay with paying for expensive scents is that I know not everyone is willing to spend that kind of money, and chances are, unless I'm in NYC, no one else will be wearing them. My favorite scents are between 130 to 350 dollars retail, so I have yet to go to the high end.

[@salvadorsanchez7093]

I’m intrigued by Music For a While 👀

[@MaxForti]

I love it, but you must like lavender and Patchouli!

[@kunalgajadhur5741]

No Nishane and By Kilian..?.?

[@MaxForti]

Perhaps on Part 2 ;)

[@acevedobrooklyn]

Max the juice in your naxos looks like grand soir juice 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MaxForti]

That's true, very concentrated! 🔥

I don't like most rose fragrances for men because they are either to feminine for me or they smell to animals. Rose 31 is one of those marvelous exceptions.
