I'd choose Designer-ish Niche I guess 🤔 I'm not into super mainstream designers, but also I don't care about super artistic / hard to wear niche fragrances. I want designers able to give me real emotions, and I want niche to amaze me in a good way that I could make good use of. I guess it's not fair to choose a middle ground, but life is hardly fair. 😋 P.S.: You really put yourself in a tough position in this video. Probably the Chanel vs Amouage was the easyest one, and I really couldn't imagine you choosing between ombré leather and carlisle! 😁

@sjnscale Жыл бұрын
Dior Homme could be one of those, like Ombré Leather is; but also things like SWY Absolutely, that is part of a mainstream line if you wish, but it has his own magic!! And many others. Eau Sauvage Parfum? fantastic! Beau de Jour? amazing! Prada L'Homme? Fairly common but undeniably a masterpiece! At the same time things like Cedrat Boise, Layton, Naxos, a few Acqua di Parma, and many others are niche fragrances that are a fantastic experience to wear, in many contexts and without complications. High quality stuff still made to smell pleasant!

@@sjnscale the issue is that these niches ones you rarely can get great discounts. While designers are already half price of niche you can get them even 40-50% cheaper sometimes... effectively you cant get around 3 or 5 niche-quality designers for the price of one Niche.

The three I don’t regret buying Adventus Dior homme intense and ombré leather. However I can’t justify buying Aventus when L’Aventure smells just as good. Ombré leather offers more flexibility and will always form part of my collection. I prefer Prada L’Homme Intense for very formal work events. Wearing it puts me in professional state so I can see myself replacing it.

I agree with Oud Wood. It’s so addicting to smell. If I could only have 3 fragrances, it would be one of the three. If I could only have 1, might very well be that. The other 2 in my top 3 would be Chanel Pour Monsieur and Chanel Egoiste (not the platinum one)

Prada is in my collection plus Prada Intense I just opened my back up Prada OG bottle 3 days ago, but I paid $160 for Intense when in Australia I heard it was being didiscontinued and it was a blind buy, I've used a bit but now it is definitely gone, I see it's around $350 bottle. But I was told YSL BLEU ELECTRIQUE was being discontinued ages back paid $160 AUD and it must be back in production as in Australia its at the high end retailers for around $190 100ml. It' sux being a collector in Aust as we pay full price except for really some now and then discounters mainly at pharmacists I'd love just to buy a ticket 🎫 to go to Europe and just go duty free actually a ticket to the USA and just spend a week going to all the discounters and retailers and buying what I pleased, buy I'm about 7ml left of my first 60ml Dior Elixier and can't believe I paid $345 AUD for the 100ml size but I know based on the 60ml which lasted over 2yrs , so the 100ml I know min 3 yrs hopefully 4, just hope Dior leave the formulation as it is gold in a bottle

She said she was told that the new Creed batches were stronger I'm not a niche person, there are so many great designers, so it just proved that Armaf is the new Creed, but today I'm rocking Chanel Allure Sport Eau Extreme and I haven't taken too much notice of its projection and performance but I'm a 15 plus sprayer no sissy stuff except for Dior Sauvage Elixir which is about 4 -5 sprays MAX even 3 does the job, but om really enjoying the Chanel .
