It’s funny I had the same reaction in the grocery store this guy started talking to me about the perfume I had on lol I had Vcanto rici and chane coco mademoiselle .

Bonjour Kate, je vous recommande "Orange x Santal" chez Essential Parfum. Un santal doux, crémeux, ultra rafraichissant avec l'orange amère et un pamplemousse juteux. Ideal à porter la forte chaleur ou au printemps . Bravo pour votre superbe collection !

Hi fellow Vancouverite!

I love doing them 🥰

Yes! That’s the first one I thought of. I lived in Singapore until very recently and I grabbed this all the time. It was perfect for the hot and humid Singapore weather!

Please do!

Hi! 🫶🏼

I understand Niche perfumes are the ones that ONLY make perfumes. Guerlain does make up and skin care too, not sure if is a niche brand. What ever it is I love Guerlain perfumes ❤

Technically they are neither or could be both... they are a tri-category brand i.e. products for skincare, makeup and fragrance, but created it's first fragrance at the end of the 19th century. From a pricing stand point their core fragrance line is in-line with designer prices whilst their l'art et la matiere collection is priced like niche fragrances. So you see, the positioning isn't straight forward. I suspect that their core line that's priced like designer fragrances is what generates the biggest revenue so on that basis you could call it designer. What about byredo? Even though it was bought by a major fragrance company, it's still considered niche (price, olfactive expression, messaging, distribution to some level, etc). And having worked for major beauty companies, I can tell you that this is how they categorize this brand internally.

@@jusderose Guerlain began with fragrance and it has always been known primarily for fragrance despite producing other cosmetics. Diptyque is just as known for candles home scents, yet they are still a known as a niche perfume brand. There are other examples of niche perfume brands branching out- yet they’re still niche perfume brands. Also, I’m curious why you brought up price, because to my understanding, categorizing a brand as niche does not have to do with its price. Niche brands can be as inexpensive as typical designers; and designer brands (like Tom Ford, as you mentioned) can be outrageously expensive, surpassing even most niche brands. So this classification system, to my understanding, does not have to do with price at all. It has to do with the brand having a “niche”. In Guerlain’s case, fragrance has always been their niche product. I suppose it’s sort of a grey area, as you said. I just would *not* call them designer. They’re not at all in the same category as cut and dry designers like Dior or Chloe, in my sincere opinion. All this to say: _I really think that we should save that label of “designer” for brands which only began selling fragrances _*_after_*_ they were well known for their other products (usually clothing), not for brands like Guerlain, which had its beginnings as a perfume house from the very start._

Out of interest are you female? I am female and looking for the differences between these two from a woman’s perspective?

Hi! Yes it’s very similar to babycat from YSL

Infusion De Fleur Dorange

Infusion fleur d’oranger

Can I say that Vancouver is not cold. It doesn’t even get much below freezing in winter. The summer is quite warm there actually. The last decade or so, Vancouver has been very dry in the summer. It rarely gets super hot or super cold because Vancouver is on the coast. I suspect the love for powdery fragrances is because Vancouver is wet and dark in the winter. Calgary (where I live) is cold in the winter. We are high and dry and have 7-10 days of -30C every winter. I visit my family and friends in Vancouver frequently. One fragrance I love in the summer is Five O’clock au Gingembre. It is pretty seasonless.

Aww I’m so pleased to hear it 🥰

It's never happened to me

Fingers crossed!

Actually, it's a French with a great English ;)
