Hey friends, today I've got another requested video - a beginners guide for niche fragrances. These are niche (and indie) fragrances that you should smell as you get into niche for the first time. They're generally not super challenging but do give you something different than what you'll find on the designer side. As always thanks for watching!

I would add Reflection Man to that list.

@laus7080 4 года назад

I own it and do love it, but that's a designer type fragrance for niche money. I got it through sale and I think it's the most overpriced fragrance in my collection.

@breal6718 3 года назад

DELICIOUS

@Yos115 2 года назад

Reflection man is a 10

@spick625 2 года назад

Love it but instant crush is cheaper and gets more compliments. I do like reflection more tho. Fragrance world is weird

@IrieAllDay88 2 года назад

I am one of those people who think Baccarat Rouge 540 is overhyped. I am also relatively new at niche fragrances. But when I smelled Grand Soir from MFK I was in heaven. I think that one is the masterpiece in the whole house. So it was one of my first buys.

@HurricaneTBag 4 года назад

@YannisPapadopoulos Год назад

I have been watching your channel a ton, and I have to admit, I really love the "format" that you have a tiny thumbnail of the bottle and the name of each perfume on the bottom left. I'm definitely missing that from your latest content, because sometimes I try to figure out (or just remember) which one you're talking about and I have to skip backwards at least once or twice in a video. Maybe I'm a minority, but that's my only 'constructive' feedback. Otherwise, I'm very appreciative of your content and have bought a lot of stuff from your influence/guidance. Thank you Ash!

@sondesix_ 4 года назад

Nishane Hacivat, some Acqua di Parma, and many of Parfums de Marly fragrances are great for beginners and especially for a safe blind buy.

@clarencewilliams9432 2 года назад

I started with 1. Mancera Instant Crush, 2. Montale Oud Black, 3. Mancera Red Tobacco. Those three were $130 a bottle. I'll probably go with PDM Layton next.

@nycisco01 4 года назад

I dove into niche hard. I started with Tuscan Leather, Tobacco Vanille and Harod and I've never looked back. LDDM is awesome! I've recently got into middle Eastern Oud which was probably the ones that took me a while to get into. BTW I consider Dior Maison Christian's line as niche quality. Not a fan of BKR540. Thanks for the content.

PDM Layton Exclusif was my first niche buy. It’s actually coming in the mail tomorrow. Wanted to try my first oud, heard it was one the better to get into.

@jaime8966 9 месяцев назад

how was it?

@thephoenix1117 4 года назад

Reflection Man would have probably been a more palatable Amouage choice. Jubilee 25 is off-putting. I've not gotten my nose on Interlude Man, so I can't comment on that one. Tom Ford Ombre Leather is the more affordable one to try if you're interested in Tuscan Leather.

@KingdomPerfumes 4 года назад

I’d recommend Genre Parfums, they’ve been talked about by other reviews and have amazing and affordable clones and inspirations as well as some of their own stuff. They currently operate out of a Facebook group. To my knowledge they take orders for a certain period at a time. I’m waiting for orders to open up again. Utopia is one of the best Roja Dove Elysium clones

European or states?

@pielucas439 4 года назад

I'm one that has never smelled a niche fragrance before. I just don't have any kind of access. Thanks for the list, will be a great help if I can ever get niche scents

@Q_N- 4 года назад

Interesting list. I started my niche step with these 3 frags: 1: Creeds Aventus (I think this is what most beginners start with). 2: PDM Layton 3: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (I didn’t get Tuscan Leather or Oud Wood since after sampling those, it seemed too much for me.) As for the Amouage line, I think Reflection man would’ve been much more relevant since that’s the scent I hear most about. Most of the Amouage line smells quite nice 👍

@jlmondragon131 2 года назад

How are you liking Layton and TobaccoVanille? I just entered the niche world and bought Aventus and Millesime Imperial. Thinking about adding Layton, TobaccoVanille, and Elysium by Roja.

@Q_N- 2 года назад

Hey JL, I’ve owned Layton and TV for 2+ years now. I’m onto my 2nd bottle of Layton, that should give you an idea of just how incredible the scent is. I’m down to half on my bottle of TV. Both scents are for cool to colder weather, but I’ve noticed Layton does well in spring/summer situations as well. If you’re planning to buy the 3 you mentioned, I’d say stick Elysium on the bottom of your list. Elysium is a great scent, but it isn’t anything mind blowing if you’ve already gotten your nose on Aventus 👍 Also, between Layton and TV, I’d go for Layton as the first bottle to buy.

@jlmondragon131 2 года назад

@@Q_N- Awesome! Thank you so much for the response!

@tobiasjacobs2093 10 месяцев назад

@justaddlight 4 года назад

An excellent rationalization in the intro. Although the hay and tobacco in Chergui really does remind me of the hay and tobacco in D&G's Intenso. Not initially, but certainly in the drydown. Some great recommendations Ash. Might throw in Vetiver Extraordinaire from FM, Killian's Back to Black and Santal Majuscule from Serge Lutens. 👍

I get the inclusion of Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather. Personally I'd say get Tom Ford's Ombre Leather (designer and much cheaper) instead. And I'd replace it on the list with Memo's African Leather. Not because of the leather (it's barely prominent and works mostly as a base imo) but because it's spicy cardamom and saffron.

@floriankubiak7313 4 года назад

The term "designer" is the problem, not "niche". Just call it mainstream/mass appeal. They are easily likeable, hence they can be mass produced and therefore are cheap, albeit their quality is decent. A better way to discern between fragrance production types than designer/niche would be something like mainstream/niche/garbage. But probably it would be better to go with more than one dimension, since you also pay for the brand.
