I decided to go for niche only for 2 reasons: 1. That most of the time they're truly unique smelling and I do appreciate others' curiosity with what I'm wearing and 2. They're so expensive that in a way it prevents me from hoarding perfumes, and it forces me to really choose only what I like best
@ImBooblehead2 жыл бұрын
For me, I just see more value when a niche lasts longer! Or performs better but JC ain't about that lifestyle choice. Haha If it doesn't perform well, its gotta be fricking gorgeous and I can only financially afford a couple of those.

Brilliant idea, there are many designer fragrances that smell good when it comes to the technicalities, but do not evoke any mood they can be kind of dead sometimes, it would be nice to find there Niche "upgrades" which use more naturals and are blended better and evoke a mood.
@Mark-jp3rg2 жыл бұрын
Justin, I missed this video but the theme resonates with me. I'd welcome this as an ongoing series. Sartorial is next on my list of fougeres to sample. It will join MFK's Masculin Pluriel, Tom Ford Beau de Jour, Roja Scandal, and Chanel Platinum Egoiste. I chose to skip At the Barbers in favor of the others. I appreciate Terre d'Hermes but it is not a love. Daniel Josier's Vetiver, however, sounds like something I'd love.

Creed's Vetiver Geranium reminded me of a cleaner, more refined niche Terre D'Hermes the first time I smelled it. And, it's hard to top Sartorial with it's "steamy iron" ozonic effect, but MDCI Parfum's Invasion Barbare is similar and has it's own charm. Navitus Parfum's Intimus is remarkably similar to Ultra Male as well...decent list 👍

Hey Justin. Have you ever tried Black Gold from Mancera? I feel like it's very underrated, a hidden gem i would say. It's the one that started my interest and love for fragrances.i It's so different compared to other fragrances, i haven't smelled anything like it. If you didn't try it, i suggest it with my whole newbie heart. I also love watching your videos, very calming after a days work. Keep doing what you love, i apreciate and respect you.

Hi Justin. I actually place Terre d'Hermes on a par with Bleu de Chanel and above Dior Sauvage (Elixir being the exception). Hermes is an exceptionally classy designer house. Desir Toxic is almost impossible to get in the UK. I've been searching for it in vain for the past 2 years.

I totally agree, I prefer TDH to the others. It's just not quite as popular as them because it is not a mass-appealing scent.

Love the concept. I agree about Terre D' Hermes, it is a niche for the price of designer, their best ever, not sure I'll go for something smoother, it is the brashness that literally drew me to it! Sartorial sounds interesting and so does desir toxic though the cannabis in it is a bit of a turn off to me. I remember Tommy, never actually owned it, I thought it was nice but too generic and mass appeal. At the time I preferred Gucci Nobile. So I'd be interested in trying My Gentleman. I never really liked the JPG perfumes. I used a bottle of wanted but not the by night flanker. I did smell it and liked it much more than the original. Not sure I'd go for something with a boozy edge like Side Effect.

Honestly never owned Niche unless you count Tom Ford. Even with that said I never owned a private collection frag. However I do have a sample kit of 7 frags coming from Scent Splits with a lot of Niche samples. Parfum De Marley all that good stuff. I recommend if you truly love frags do not limit your scope. Yes Niche is ***** expensive but at least sample it to know what is smells like. Even if you have a 2ml that should give you a couple sprays, you only need 3 of 4 per wear so you can experience wearing the scent a few days and know what is like to make up your mind.
