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)

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)

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 🤣😂🤣

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...

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 agree with you. I’d add -don’t buy ANYTHING that you can sample in the store unless it makes you crazy with excitement when you smell it….and even then-only buy a decant. Trust me! You are going to find something you like more. I’m not spending $300 on 100mL BR540. In stead I’ll spend $200 and get 5 to 7 (5mL or 9mL) decants and have so much variety to choose from. I’ll spend a day and go Store hopping and end the day with 20 samples of designer fragrances and now I’ve got 4 months of fragrance to test and try. I thought I’d LOVE❤️❤️ Reflection Man. I don’t. I like it a lot. Glad I only spent $30 and it will be all used up by the time the seasons change.

I cannot really imagine anybody disliking this scent its a beastmode and its all year rounder. Safe blind buy Imo.

40 Knots or Alexandria? Which is the better buy?
@youngmagician44
@youngmagician44 2 жыл бұрын
Very different fragrances. 40 Knots is a woody, salty and heavy “aquatic” or marine smell with an amber base suitable for summer and spring and maybe fall if it’s not too cold Alexandria 2 is a heavy oud and rose combo best used in the winter and fall and in formal occasions IMHO. They both have beast mode performance easily more than 12 hours longevity. Alexandria 2 is more expensive and less versatile than 40 Knots.

Alexandria is not as wearable imo. It smells like a smokey posh bar of soap, but I feel like there is a sharp incense that is headache inducing at times. Can't deny how strong and long lasting it is though.

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.

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 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.
