Top 10 Designer Fragrances That Are NICHE QUALITY - According To You

[@wisam5053]

Dior Fahrenheit (EDT not the new Parfum) really grew on me, when i first heard it it was something i was avoiding, didnt do anything for me and was hard to smell anything specific in it, now i think it's one of the most luxurious smells

[@donmongoose]

I'm really hoping it grows on me, blind bought the EDT and its a tricky one.

[@oceansoflorewi]

@@donmongoose Very tricky. You literally smell like a lawnmower mowing the grass. Not sure if id actually wanna smell like this other than a lazy weekend day off in ths summer.

[@louidaiv2387]

Fahrenheit e.d.t is amazing...

[@XxORLYxX]

@@oceansoflorewi 🤣😂🤣

[@FISHinho8]

My girlfriend says the EDT smells like a stink bug. I like it, but I understand it’s not for everyone. The Parfum we both like.

[@jtfragrance]

Terre D’Hermes EDT is really one of the best scents out there, should really be a niche fragrance👍

[@CKrogull]

I LOVE Terre d‘Hermes as a daily driver in the spring and summer (the EDT at least). It’s great for office settings and also for everything else. It’s so wearable while being rather unique (at least where I‘m based) - people just assume TdH is what I smell like. But Fahrenheit it my GoTo for going out!

[@peterrak9554]

I always thought Maison Margiela was a niche brand.. you learn something every day.

[@yiyithewuster]

Definitely a niche concept and packaging… i only knew they sold clothing from the Jay Z/Kanye song

[@Fidz0]

a niche house is a brand that solely sells fragrances. MMM has sneakers, clothing, accessories

[@eddwallis6590]

Bit like Tom Ford’s private line - definitely straddles the line between designer and niche.

[@peterrak9554]

@@Fidz0 yeah I had no idea.. I just thought they sold fragrances

[@balazs7235]

Well let me introduce you to Maison Martin Margiela! Completely unrelated to the topic of this videos however! Martin himself is a legendary fashion designer that too the fashion world by storm. He abandoned any snobbish idea the pretigeous fashion world demanded. He did everything without the help of corporations, giving him full creative control and creating truly special fashion. He was one of the most prolific figures in the avant garde and anti-fashion scene. Almost all of the designer of today have taken inspiration from him, he inspired the last few generation of fashion designers. In short he is your favorite designers’ favorite designer.

[@KingOfFinance1]

Chanel Egoiste is the most niche designer fragrance out there. So unique and different.

[@ljkingz9259]

I really wish that term would go away. I know plenty of niche fragrances that are absolute garbage in my opinion. I don’t mean the BO, Barnyardy smelling ones. Scent is subjective. I mean don’t last, project or are synthetic smelling.

[@SirSillageSniffington]

Agreed. I think it’s a huge fallacy that “niche automatically equals high quality”. Like you I’ve smelled niche scents that smell cheap and synthetic, and cheaper scents (like some mentioned) that smell way better quality. We know that even in a lot of niche scents, the cost of the juice inside is like

I have the Bogart and I absolutely love it. Was one of my best blind buys.

[@PHUNNYGUY2]

Just got the bogart pour homme and love it, especially the dry down.

[@pauln0371]

Just about all the Guerlain scents spring to mind as Niche quality. Just an amazing Fragrance house. Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum is another belter as is Dior Homme Original. Caron 3rd Man might be a bit left field but what a great Gentleman's frag. TBF Most of Laliques frags are belting too. I've had Lion Pour Homme and currently have L'Homme Homage, Equus edp, Encre Noir and Encre Noir Sport all are great.

[@miket3taylor]

Guerlain is neche, smart guy

[@modmod392]

Dior Eau Sauvage…..absolute banger. Niche all the way.

[@miket3taylor]

[@CraigL37]

Recently picked up Brioni edp intense this is an amazing scent. Possible niche quality

[@joshuafournier5887]

That’s a solid scent. It definitely walks the line between niche and designer. It reminds me of something PDM might put out.

[@CraigL37]

After watching Ash's review I tried to pick up a sample but couldn't find it so just bought a 100ml. Once of my best blind buys

[@mattpruitt442]

I personally would add Bvlgari Man in black

[@cuttingedgevintage]

It would be great to see a issey miyake buying guide or maybe even just a best of house cold weather scents?

[@alanjbennett3733]

Best cold weather scent from Issey miyake for me is.. Pulse of the Night.

[@markowen5895]

Calvin Klein Euphoria Amber Gold should have been mentioned…also hard to find, was super cheap a few years ago. Smells incredible 👌🏼

[@professorx8258]

Just saw the shout-out right now and I greatly thank you for that, Mr. Ash!!! It baffles me as to why nobody talks about Bogart Pour Homme. I think perhaps people don't mention it since the opening is very aggressive and not for everyone. I appreciate you mentioning my comment and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Take care, Ash!!!

[@DedekMartin]

Costume National Homme (EDP&Parfum) + Soul are also a niche quality fragrances imho.

[@Mr-Nose-It-All]

In London UK can’t buy D&G luminous night everywhere out of stock, Roberto Cavani Golden anniversary out of stock everywhere, in fact a lot of fragrances hyped can’t get.

[@daynetaib123]

[@herestooldEngland]

I love the smell of Fahrenheit in the morning, you know that gasoline smell? It smells like victory.

[@lidor3832]

dior fahrenheit is masterpiece

[@jodee8831]

I think Replica Jazz Club is more nichè smelling than Versace Oud Noir... don't get me wrong, I do like Versace ON but I find it linear and not as complex in scent profile as Jazz Club

[@sash0210]

Maybe, but the longevity of Jazz Club is much worse, in my experience. So, that could be an argument for the Versace being more niche-like.

[@jodee8831]

@@sash0210 Jazz Club's longevity is not horrible on my skin... not great either.. just average.... but I feel like the actual scent quality, composition and how it develops on skin is ultimately more important than the longevity... not every nichè scent needs to be beastly

[@jingledubz3989]

Great video Ash! Can’t really argue with any of these. 🤘

[@Itaintnutn]

Dior Fahrenheit (EDT, original) I remember the first time I smelled it at Sephora. Gasoline big time. I like it and bought it. Still smells great to me, BUT I no longer smell the gasoline. I wish I could reset my nose so I could smell it for the first time again.

[@Chris6815]

I was really surprised to hear Bogart Pour Homme. I surprisingly have that one. I really like it. It’s a great hidden gem 💎

[@bespincustompropsbombarta8300]

I had Fahrenheit on at work today and most people under 40 had not ever heard of it. Can totally pull off niche, there's nothing else like it. One that's no longer available that I loved is Muelhens Sumatra Rain EDT there was nothing else like it, closest I've found to it is Roberto Cavalli Paradise Found but, it only has hints of Sumatra Rain.

[@Karbz_]

was able to grab a bottle of dior homme parfum at one of the duty free shops at the airport i worked at, with the discount i payed under 100 bucks (converted). Its sold out now tho, but im for sure grabbing another or 2 if they re stock

[@lyrickoner]

Even in Europe it's EXTREMELY difficult to find Dior Homme Parfum these days. It's been out of stock on the Dior website for over 4 months now. And the only alternative is ebay where you'll end up paying double for it. Other than that, you can't get in anywhere else....at all.

[@gladdy02]

Who or what determines what is niche or not? Price or exclusivity?

[@lyrickoner]

Strickly speaking, niche brands focus only on the production of fragrances so they tend to be higher quality and more expensive while designer brands make clothes and other fashion accessories. So for example, Creed, PDM and Nishane only make fragrances and are considered niche brands. While brands such as Tom Ford and Dior may produce very high quality fragrances that are 'niche level' but because they produce other designer items, they're not technically niche. However in reality some designer fragrances are better quality then their niche counterparts.

Wednesday, I wore Stronger With You Intensely. At physical therapy, someone thought they were smelling onions 😅 but then I visited my mom and got an unsolicited comment. Maybe mom really likes onions 😂🤣

Dear Ash, love your videos! But er, how to say this nicely? There is no such word in the English language as “agreeance”; it’s “agreement”. There, I said it! Keep the videos coming-I have introduced my Year 9 boys to your channel. Every morning we do sniff tests. Sounds weird I know, but it’s fun.

[@travislawing3598]

Agreeance is a word that seems to be continually reinvented and recycled. The term first appeared in the 16th century and enjoyed its greatest popularity in the 18th and early to mid-19th centuries. Since then it has fallen into disuse.
