10 BEST Niche Fragrances That Work ALL YEAR ROUND. (2024)

[@sandokero]

You made me purchase enclave last year. No regrets because for me it’s a masterpiece! Very uplifting because of the mint. It gives peppermint patties vibe ( a mix of chocolate nuisances and mint)

[@BlessedDelight1]

I own a decant of enclave, at first test I wasn’t a fan of it. It does remind me of 40 Knots to an extent but not fully. I let the decant sit for a few months, wore it one day and now I really enjoy it. It’s really grown on me! Evolves throughout the day.

[@TheScentCellar]

Sampled Kashmir at ZGO in SF about two weeks ago, and find my dipping back in there to sample again last week... it was that memorable and intriguing for me. Citrus and rose, but some pine-like/juniper keeping it from getting too heavy on the florals. Musky and woody base, a bit of creaminess in the wood (sandalwood?) on the base. Gorgeous. I already own the immediate prior release in that family, Damask (gorgeous floral, which is saying something as I am not a florals person but fell in love and bought it), and now I'm sooo tempted to get Kashmir.

[@Elmister1924]

Enclave is one of my favorites fragrances and my wife like it so much

[@linhhong6804]

can't wait for the designer version of this topic

[@Bonzvy]

Everytime I see enclave i just need to push that frag. It is my absolute favorite frag that I have

[@Frank-DuxVanDamme]

Ormonde Jayne is all about elegance. Tried a lot of them and there's something unique about Ormonde. Just ordered Kashmir without sampling which I don't do 90% of the time. It was awesome good price but we'll see. Montabacco intensivo is one of my signatures.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Amouage Enclave and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day

[@Benjifeoh]

Enclave is a beautiful fragrance, thanks to you, you got the fragrance on my radar and i absolutely love it.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@elijahwilliams2839]

I've owned Aoud Lemon Mint for years as I bought it off the hype. The more I mature in my fragrance journey, the more I appreciate that fragrance which is interesting because it's usually the opposite for me with fragrances I bought from that era (my fragrance hype beast era lol). Enclave is definitely in the highest tier of my collection. A tier of fragrances where I really feel I'm wearing art. Another one for me that you can pull off in every season in my opinion is 40 knots from Xerjoff. 2 fragrances I found from your videos that really reside with me. Nice video Justin!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks Elijah!

[@Ulyssmusic]

Was at an event from Maison du parfum, celebrating their exclusive partnership with Atelier Materi as retailer in Antwerp, actually met the owner of the Brand, she was super nice and actually learned a lot from her. I remember thinking she should send some bottles to you lol, i had a feeling you’d enjoy the brand. Great selection as always here💯

[@stayfreshproductions]

Oh wow!

[@mohamednayad]

Yes ! you cannot go wrong with fougère as a versatile all year round scent, Sartorial is my go to, but I recently tried 2 fragrances that deserve more attention 👑 : 1. Sandalo by Acqua di Parma ( it reminded me of TF Fougère d'Argent but more creamy / leathery and spicy with the lavender / cardamom/ sandalwood combo) 2. Boy by Chanel (an excellent lavender modern unisex fougère, leaning masculine)

[@ZelenyHaj]

Great video and even better list. Ganymede would definitely be one of my picks.

[@edia1737]

Hey Justin, probably for more than 2 years I’ve been watching your videos and enjoying them a lot (well, not my bank account tbh). I’ve always got the feeling the perfumes are repeating themselves, what isn’t bad or anything else, but I would like to see more variety in brands and anything else. I don’t want this to sound like a hate-type-comment but more like a idea for a new video series that would probably be very interesting for a lot of us. You once uploaded a video where you’ve tested the newest releases of some brands and I liked that video a lot so I thought it would be a great idea if you start a series about fragrance recommendations from the comments. Sort of picking out 5-10 recommendations and get them as decant or bottle and give them a live reaction and maybe enlarge out and your fragrance-Horizont! Big love from Germany keep clocking with them videos, you’re an example for the KZbin slogan “broadcast yourself“ and a huge influence for my perfume collection! Thanks for reading you’re the best and everyone else, you’re awesome to for reading!

[@danieln6613]

I've only tested 3 fragrances from Floraiku, but really liked the ones I did. Between Two Trees definitely caught my attention, but I'm kinda tempted to go and buy a full bottle of another one called One Umbrella For Two, a gourmand that smells kinda like blueberry cupcakes

[@NapoleonFragrances]

Can't forget about our signature DANIEL Eau de Parfum :) Great addition to a niche collection!

[@Thisplaceisbugged]

Bleecker Street is in my top 5 all time. Its so unique and strong. It makes me feel good 👽

[@westie7]

Creed Viking works wonders as well!

[@eddiecrainic7735]

After watching this I bought the discovery box from Floraiku so I could try between two trees and I liked it so much that I bought a 50ml bottle with the cool cap/travel spray. I love it! Thanks for sharing

[@stayfreshproductions]

Wonderful!

[@tugi7104]

Floraiku One Umbrella for two is my current favo from them. It is a nice warm blueberry rice scent. Between two trees is also nice.

[@Champageproblemsreviews]

I love in Florida, every scent is all year long. If I don't do that I don't get to wear my deep dark extraits I love so much. So I wear anything at any time. However, obviously those resins work best in colder weather I get that

[@jlehm]

Clémence just did a video with Chris that included Atelier Matere Narcisse Taij. They both loved it as well.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Oh cool!

[@jlehm]

@ just smelled it Jovoy today. Not bad. I’d say you have good taste, but it would be a little self serving.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I think the best thing about seasonless fragrances is their strong identity. It’s NOT a lot of things but itself. If it is a designer scent, it will be a classic. If it is a niche scent, it will have a singular balance and structure. Thank you for your suggestions.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Catherine!

[@gmoney1961]

I need to check those new five items out 👍🏽

[@ASilas-yj6wc]

I got Tabarome Millesime as a blind buy when I first started wearing fragrances. I do agree that it gives off old man vibes

[@EJLR834]

It’s crazy because I was researching this just a couple days ago

[@Frank-DuxVanDamme]

2:20 Justin, you're rocking 👍 Nicely said

[@stayfreshproductions]

🙏🏾

[@eddiecrainic7735]

I quite like Kashmir. I really appreciate the deodar scent profile in here as well as the hint of spicy. One of my favorite fragrances in my collection. I also like montobaco intensive a lot and I’m not sure between the two I like more. I perceive that one as more versatile but they’re both great and both very different.

[@BT_Gaming_Clips]

Love love love Between Two Trees. It smells similar to Brivido Della Caccia to me, another one of my favorites!

[@johnjohannes5954]

Nice topic , Justin ! Keep on ! . I have tried Amouage's Enclave and Lineage. The first is nice but not as unique as the previous amouages. Lineage is very peculiar for me but i cannot pull it off as it smells too feminine for my taste. From Amouage , Dia man and Lyric man are my top choices all year around

[@jnb22019]

Just received Fougere Royal today from FragranceBuy, and I'm currently wearing it.❤❤❤

[@pilotwjf]

Yatagan is definitely nice. Also love the Vetiver Infini from them.

[@All_True_Especially_The_Lies]

Aoud Lemon Mint is one of my absolute favorites. It's an equivalent of a linguistic oxymoron, conflicts of ideas in one sentence, except this one works beautifully. Scents are amazing, they're like music harmonics, or color schemes, except scent is fleeting and plays with our memory more.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Well said!

[@ScoutFragrance]

Let’s Get It!

[@edgardozara97]

A day ago, i just raved about this fragrance being included in FragMental x ClemenceCC collab video as this is part of my 1 perfume for each of the 4 season's shorts video by FM. I love this scent as its green but not vegetal nor foresty but rather green floral which makes it manly and also unique. Love at first sniff scent for me.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Awesome! Are you referring to Narcisse Taiji?

[@mylife4631]

Great video for me amouge the best for me thank you so much 👍

[@peterkorbulak7598]

Absolutely Brilliant 💯 Thank J.C. I love odd Fragrances or hidden gems so to speak 😊 I would like to add to this special realm my recent obsession from NISHANE SAFRAN COLOGNISE 👑 Really versatile and very special with amazing performance ❣️

[@stangreen1564]

I love Safran Colognise; although, I haven’t been brave enough to wear it much in the public.

[@josephgibbs7423]

I've got all the Amouage fragrances mentioned. The Ormand and the Bohemian Infusion. All great scents. I'm looking now at Argos.

[@Ljmac03]

I LOVE b Between 2 Trees. I sampled it a few years ago when I was beginning my fragrance journey. The only issue at thr time was the price.

[@Daniel-ce8xs]

I love floraikus Between two trees. Heard it described as a more tame version of irish leather by memo which i agree with. And irish leather is very similar to brivido della caccia by argos as i've heard, which you have. Do you find similarities?

[@stayfreshproductions]

I could see that comparison.

[@ronaldwoodman224]

Bond No. 9 should pay you for your description of Bleeker Street. You gave words a smell. I own and like Tabarome Millesime! I dislike when people confuse sophisticated fragrances with smelling like an old man.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Haha!

[@perseo828]

Gentle Fluidity Silver AND Masculin pluriel by MFK‼️... Amiri by Arabian Oud... Kobra by gems Bvlgari... Montabaco intensivo by Ormonde Jayne... Invisible but cool AND Faisa by Ramón Monegal... Wulong Cha by Nishane... And Cedrait Boise by Mancera...

[@izwadiali6840]

Between Two Trees bottle cap looks funny !! Does anyone know why it is like that ?

[@stayfreshproductions]

It is a travel atomizer case! The fragrance comes with a 7ml-ish vial that slides into the case and has its own cap. The bottle also has its own simple cap if you’re using the atomizer.

[@gubberfranzen]

A comment and a like for the algorithm - and Hindu Kush is my GADA niche favorite.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks!

[@jbfrom53]

Designer next please

[@bayramoglumurathan925]

Creed bois portugual, Habigant Royal, Guerlain derby are good perfumes.

[@bluered3228]

How does the extrait of fougere royale compare to the parfum? I'm considering getting the extrait but its not at discounters and is $600 so I'd love to hear some opinions before shelling out for it. Love the parfum

[@steveb8269]

@bluered3228 Fougere Royale is in my top 5 favourites of all time, consequently I am lucky enough to have both in my collection. I aquired the extrait as a tester bottle so didn't receive the full presentation box...Imho I dont believe the full RRP of $600 for the extrait is worth the investment... for my nose the scent profile of the extrait is exactly the same as the edp, however the extrait is deeper and richer, it does last longer on the skin but doesn't project as well as the edp....please don't misunderstand my opinion, the extrait is a gorgeous fragrance, hope this helps

[@stayfreshproductions]

I haven’t tried the Extrait yet

[@Shp1701]

Updated Designer version please

[@victormarquesj]

let us have the designer version as well!!

[@enriqueali]

Designer frags please ! Niche fragrances are just too pricey for my limited budget 😊😊😊

I was waiting for you to talk about HOUBIGANT again. You gotta try HOUBIGANT Rose du Desert. It's a new Amazing Dark masculine Rose scent

[@andytran1220]

Have you tried figuire noir?

[@steveb8269]

​@@andytran1220I have it, its a belter

[@jmfh270]

I need to try that one!

[@steveb8269]

[@jasonyoung9329]

Never clicked so fast

[@jalawe]

would you consider sole patchouli by vertus versatile too ?

[@stayfreshproductions]

From my memory, not really, but I'd need to try it again.

[@jeffscalfano3100]

Im not interested in paying $200 or more on a fragrance that only you have recommended. That being said, can you relay rough pricing so i can decide if i give an F?

[@stayfreshproductions]

Even if you heard 80 people spoke positively about a $200+ fragrance, it's still wise to sample first! Not sure if you're referring to a particular fragrance as far as asking for pricing!

[@dmantiero]

@justin for some reason Kashmir reminds me of Papilefiko. Is it just me?

[@stayfreshproductions]

Not to my nose, but that’s awesome!

[@Mr.E.Fragrance]

For me, Enclave is just too much in the summer. I would pick reflection.

[@FrankFichter]

Tabarome is underrated

[@j.o.s.f361]

New batches of Enclave are just mild. They really ruined it by reformulation. I wanted to buy it, but after trying a new batch - it just sucks

Aight, y'all, writing this comment before I've even watched the damn video, and how much you wanna bet DIS MUHFUGGA done left out the GOAT of niche frags for like the 1000th time??? I'll report back after I watch it, just to confirm my suspicions. Standby... UPDATE (17 mins later): Just like I thought, JC and his humble ass and his SELECTIVE MEMORY has decided to leave out, what is easily the GREATEST NICHE FRAG OF ALL TIME, Georgie Zaharoff 2nd Soul, from yet another "best of" video (and yes, it can easily be worn year-round, so that isn't a reason to keep it out of this vid, either). What a coincidence... And, yeah, he'll probably jump in and say "c'mon, Beane, it's not available anymore because it's discontinued, ease up, my guy!". And to that, I say, in my best Arnold impersonation,... BOOLSHEET!!!! Y'all just KNOW ol' George Z is sitting on a thousand unopened bottles MINIMUM in his basement, right alongside his formulations of "Seraphim Pink" (summer 2025 release), "Some Day... Prive" (2030 release or something), and the inevitable "Signature Leather Tabac Elixir" (so strong it's the final boss of Elixirs and has to be shipped on dry ice). So, JC, hows about you call up your best buddy George and tell him to RELEASE THE DAMN KRAKEN ALREADY?!?!???! ... I mean, um, *cough, cough* hey Justin, great content, as always, thanks man!

[@eee-hi1kl]

Iooops

[@Ulyssmusic]

Bro has lost it

[@NicoChillis]

I never really understood why Justin always started his videos with a few disclaimers about what haters say in the comments cause no other reviewer does that. But now I do. Such a selfish rant too talking about YOUR personal favourite niche fragrance as if he had to have the same taste as you. Read your comments before posting.

[@Frank-DuxVanDamme]

Write a rant comment,get it out,wait 10 seconds,read it ... delete it.
