10 Niche Fragrances Every Man Must Try! | Men's Cologne/Perfume Review 2022 

“Don’t blind buy niche fragrances unless you’re a millionaire” me who has blind bought over 15 bottles of niche fragrance and is nowhere near to being a millionaire 😐

40 Knots is an incredible fragrance. One of my best buys this year.

I’m getting ready for more niche, this was a good video.

Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

fantastic list sir

Love watching your videos! Can you make a short on what you think of the issey miyake original please! My favourite scent! Cheers 👌

Excellent info., it’s a big help.👍

Amazing, looking to try some of suggestions 😊

Loved this review

definitely agree with the green irish tweed take. cool water smells extremely synthetic to me. reminds me of laundry detergent synthetic. green irish tweed definitely a must try

A very good video. I have blind purchased every niche fragrance that I own. I also must say I love every one and wear all of them. I love Red Tobacco so much that I wear it during the summer. I think Mancera(Red Tobacco, Instant Crush, Oud Exclusive, Cedrat Boise)and Montale(Black Aoud)should be the first two houses you start with. Very long lasting and beast mode performance. Xerjoff (Naxos, 40Knots, More than words) would be next on my list. Then Amouage (Beach hut man, Interlude Man)followed by Tiziana Terenzi(Ursa). I own Bond no.9 (Scent of peace for him)

Funny watching this because the first ever major expense purchase for me was aventus before it got too common and less niche. Then I discovered PDM and bought their discovery pack with Layton which I loved. After that I wanted something really projecting and got rouge 540 which lasts on clothes 24+ hours. Good to see all three in the recommended.

I have a tendency to over do it when it comes to cautiously buying fragrances. I go to every mall and every scent counter everywhere and get samples of everything. I’ll smell a fragrance 5 times and do 2 skin tests and watch 10 reviews before I purchase a SAMPLE. I’m afraid of buying a 100mL and next season not loving it. My personal rule is not to have more than 12 full sized bottles. I currently have 3 open spots. I just purchased FULL SIZE Montale Oudmazing. To ME it’s mind blowingly beautiful and perfect for Fall/Winter. For me to get a full size it has to be. I’ve got several 5mL samples and smell great everyday…But I want more. The addiction is taking hold 🤣😂🤣

Some of my most popular niche fragrances which everybody should smell once are: 1. Amouage reflection men 2. Initio parfum Oud for Greatness (and also Side effect or Rehab) 3. Roja Oligarch (and also Elysium or A Midsummer Dream) 4. Navitus Intimus 5. Nishane B-612 (a very safe Fougère even tho it sounds weird)

I absolutely agree according to Xerjoff. Phenomenal perfumery. Xerfoff Homme is a beautiful chypre musk fragrance, what an art..

Great list, i would not suggest Mancera's at first try. Also, 40 Knots is not the brightest bulb in Xerjoff chandelier. I would add Reflection Man and Oud for Greatness. maybe. Tuscan Leather?

Very good informative video :)

I’m a huge fan of Givenchy Pi, So the natural progression was to upgrade to PDM Pegasus. That being said I like “PI” better.

Great list. PDM Percival was my first niche scent. PDM Layton was my second. Other PDMs followed. So many gorgeous scents ... I then went on to explore their sister house Initio. Same story here: so many nice scents. Can't have them all. 😅Naxos is my second Xerjoff. Oh man, I love it. Haven't tried 40 Knots or Torino 21, yet. But I will for sure...

Great list! I don't have an objection to a single one of those.

Hey Omar...What would you recommend? 40knots or Layton ?

would you review storie veneziane , verda erba ? i bought it to my collection its very niche but wow impressive

of the NICHE fragrances I have tried, I really like Rojas Elysium, Nishane B612 (mid projection, but long lasting), several of PDM like Greenley, Sedley, and Harod... I want to try Layton, Percival, and Carlisle...

Subscribed 🙏🏼

Hi Omar. Can you sample Oman Luxury and discuss it your channel? It’s another premium brand from Oman but less popular than Amouage. I think their fragrances are more wearable than Amouage and they are also as intense. I currently have their Oud Aquilaria (nose: Dominic Ropion) and I am enjoying it. 2 sprays max. I tested one of their summer offerings (Wanderlust) and it lasted more than 24 hours. When I threw my trash with the test strip, it was able to spread the scent to the entire pack of trash. Kind of crazy for a freshie. I think that will be my next full bottle purchase from that house.

What do you think of Nishane hacivat ?i love that fragrance ♥️

Yeah I agree with you about Layton! I also get that vibe and I just cant shake it off, it's the Geranium, once I realised it I could sense it in all other geranium fragrances and now stay away from the note whenever purchasing a fragrance 👍

hi where can i get Xerjoff Oud Alexandira ii in canada ?

Omar have you tried penhaligons halfeti leather it’s insane my favourite nishe fragrance at the moment.

I generally agree, but you didn’t include anything by Nishane ?

Naxos and 40 Knots are in my 4-sample order from Xerjoff but for now I'm taking Edition Blanche and Missoni Wave to Greece with me.

Layton Exclusive!

Montale Oud Dream is an epic beginner oud

Could please give alternative for dior fahrenheit parfume, but cheaper?

Tobacco Vanille smells like Christmas to me for some reason. 🎄

Naxos is so Good. Also tried Oud Satin Mood today, also Insanely good. BR540 is overrated imo, or more like too expensive for what it is

TF Tobacco Vanille is the best gourmand fragrance 👍🏻

I got 40 knotts (100ml) for only £135 from allbeauty and it was an amazing bling buy

aqua de parma often smell amazing just too expensive for a cologne i prefer cologne in a splash for out the shower or after shaving

I like 40 knots, it has different facets. But blind buy is always risky:))

Surprised you didn’t mention Byredo Black Saffron

Do u think worth buying Naxos if already have tobacco Vanille?

Cool Water has been watered down to death GIT smells exactly like Cool Water when it was first released

Bought Dior Amber Nuit , and Xerjoff Alexandria ii. Both leaned far to feminine for my tastes. Soon as I smelled both I instantly thought these are for females. Luckily returned Amber Nuit as it had no feeder tube from the fragrance to the atomiser. Took a loss selling the Alexandria ii on though. I like unisex don't get me wrong but these two nope to feminine for me.

I think everybody should test PDM Percival one of my favourite fragrances in my collection. If you like Montblanc Legend and/or Fitch Fierce you will like it. Its a niche version of them super good. I cannot really imagine anybody disliking this scent its a beastmode and its all year rounder. Safe blind buy Imo.

Haltane by pdm is also great. Smoother, gourmandish oud for greatness.

I tried erba pura and im an addict now

Please suggest me a fresh clean and refreshing fragrance..

40 Knots or Alexandria? Which is the better buy?

Id ignore Omar on this one. If you going Niche dont bother with 540, Aventus, Ltn they just too close to safety. Just sample Red Tobacco, Tuscan Leather, Naxos, Oajan.... if you going into the rabbit hole just dive and know if its for you or not.

out of all the hypes... i understand layton the least... to the point id rather wear sauvage then layton xD

Alexandria II is too expensive 😭

What’s going on with his own fragrance nowe

What’s your favourite PDM Omar?

I like the idea for this video. But there are several that I really dislike and wouldn't recommend for anybody: Cedrat Boise, Oud Wood, Aventus, and BR 540. I find these Really unpleasant (or cloying - Br540). I avoid getting anything similar to them for the men in my family. I know a lot of people like them but... I think part of being niche is that a fragrance appeals to a certain segment of the population but is not mass appealing.

Anyone who says i didnt like Layton initially, i mean. Oh well.

4:15 Layton is NOT powdery AT ALL. Maybe you own a fake, or maybe a bad sample.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

guys, need help i want bought my 2nd xerjoff.. naxos or 40knot? which one more adore / worth the money? my 1st is 1888 casamorati

Why would anyone want to smell like leather shoes…I personal hate leather scents.

TF is a Designer Fragrances with a Niche price.

Is Tom Ford really considered as niche if Tom Ford also makes other things besides fragrances. ??

Yo! Can you please review the fragrances from Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is not a winning bear style for you. Makes you look much older

For exemple pdm , pdm 2022 is pure shit what are u talking here

Oud Wood is a masterpiece 🪵

✌🏻✌🏻🇩🇿🇩🇿

Guys u are talking crap here , all of the influencers. U talking about old Batches fragrances or the first batches. U just infulence ppl to buy these and newer batches of most things feel so cheap and trash. Just show us whats ur batches to these bottles. I guess are not 2022, so dont talk shit man

How is TF private blend niche? Shouldn’t this be on the designer section!

It beat the new, weaker version of Aventus.

br 540 is definitely a womans perfume go on hate me lol

DO NOT buy Armaf Milestone - Bought it and it is terrible: very cheap smelling and very feminine 👎🏻

Is Xerjoff 40 Knots for gay men only?

Tom Ford is designer not niche.

Tom Ford aint niche. They sell tuxedos

Absolutely NOT! GIT SUCKSSS. I have og 80s coolwaters. GIT is a dumbed down flatter cool water with no mint or aquatic notes. BORING.

First

Creed Aventus is sheet

Aventus, nope go for the club de nuit clone and move on….
