Favourite niche perfumes

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb is best perfume i think i gifted this perfume to my friend on her birthday and she loved it i hope you will like it when you use it.

I thought of this forum topic this weekend when I came across an online retailer specialising in niche perfume so I’m going to share this link

I spent the vast majority of the weekend looking into the many truly niche brands they stock. I’m talking so niche I’ve not heard of the majority of them, and perfume (niche, designer… All perfume) is my thing.

I like that they do samples, but they are pretty expensive at $10 – $30. I don’t know if they include free samples with orders but I’ll find out once I narrow down my huge wishlist and place an order with them.

I don’t have any niche ones but at the moment I’m wearing Gucci Guilty and Daisy Oh So Fresh!

L’occitane terre de lumiere – not sure if you consider that as “niche” but all the others I would recommend are well known like Chanel

Amouage has some really beautiful fragrances and at $399+ a pop, if you have the opportunity to browse in person, definitely do!

I’ve been umming and ahhing over a Clive Christian trio, which includes No 1 (the world’s most expensive perfume). I’d love to see if the world’s most expensive perfume is like, but at those prices, what if I hate it? Another one on my list to check out if I ever find myself at a big city perfume counter.

I just got my first Diptyque fragrance – Fleur de Peau. I love it! I bought the body cream as well. Smells beautiful! I’ve been eyeing Diptyque for awhile but this was the first one I HAD to have.

Would love to check out more of Le Labo if I had the chance. I’m not overly fond of their unisex type fragrances. I do love the Lys 41, Labdanum 18 and I plan on getting the Iris 39(? – not sure about that number off the top of my head) when spring rolls around.

Histoires de Parfums makes some wonderful scents and Robert Piguet is also great IF you like that sort of thing. I love Fracas, my daughter hates it. There does not appear to be any middle ground with Robert Piguet.

Frapin in another one to try. 1270 is amazing.

A Lab on Fire is another one I’d check out if I had the chance, as well as Tiziana Terenzi.

But also worth exploring even though not quite niche is the harder to find fragrances of designer perfume brands Lancome and Chanel. I recently got Lancome’s 1001 Roses, which I love! I’ve been on the fence with Frederic Malle’s Portrait of a Lady, but I recently ordered 1001 Roses and I LOVE it! It’s similar to POAL but better, I think, and a much better price point. And the Chanel Les Exclusifs range is magic. It’s like niche-meets-designer. My husband got me a sampler set on a recent overseas trip. SO many great fragrances! And I recently got 1957, which I love. IMO, Chanel never gets it wrong and the Les Exclusifs range is stunning.

I’d love to know what you end up trying and liking!

I do have some commercial fragrances, but indie perfumes make up the bulk of my perfume collection. I have only bought online, which can be risky, but thankfully most offer samples.

I began with a love of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, Possets and some others that are no longer operating. I’ve had these perfume oils for years and they have just aged beautifully over time.

A few years ago I stumbled across Love Potion Magical Perfumerie where I first discovered pheromones. I haven’t even bought perfumes from any other brand since because the new releases were often enough that I just wasn’t tempted to go elsewhere. Unfortunately, higher shipping costs and our current un-competitive dollar means I haven’t been able to justify a purchase of late (not that I need more perfumes in my stash).

I have recently been looking on Etsy and there’s a few Aus indie perfume sellers that I’m interested in, but am yet to make a purchase.

Is Le Labo considered niche? I finished Rose31 not long ago and really love it. It’s unisex as well.

I’ve got Santal 33 by Le Labo on my wishlist for if I ever win Lotto.

You need to chat with members IndieAna & Princess Perfume – they’re both big perfume buffs.

My Favourite Perfume is Estee Lauder Beautiful that is the one that my husband buys me for Birthdays or Christmas Time.

Love to try out New Perfumes on sale at my Pharmacy to see if I like them or not. Different Notes smell different on everyone.
