Freestyle in terms of fragrances – luxury perfumes – the world of niche fragrances


Which fragrance would you like today? Not everyone wants to wear cheap perfumes “off the shelf”. That is why more and more luxury brands are deciding to bring high-quality niche fragrances for him and her to the market. From Rochas Man to Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent to perfumes for men by Creed Aventus, there is a large selection for fragrance lovers. But how do lovers recognize the absolute luxury fragrances?

Dupes to high-priced perfumes are now the order of the day and price dumping has become normal. Around 300 to 5000 new fragrances are brought onto the market every year and not all of them are really worth the money. More and more luxury brands and classic perfumers are therefore going “back to the roots” and creating luxurious fragrances for absolute lovers. You want to go back to the original art of fragrance creation.

Luxury brands such as Parfums de Marly or Amouage Parfum show that there are still real niche fragrances for connoisseurs that cannot be compared with the cheap perfumes from the drugstore. It is not for nothing that the Roja Parfums brand created the slogan “For the love of fragrance”. Because that’s what luxury fragrances are all about.

How can you identify niche fragrances?
Not everyone recognizes a luxury fragrance as soon as they see it. Of course, the price is a first guide. However, caution is advised here, because less high-quality perfumes can also cost a lot of money. Instead, there are other clues that can be used to identify niche fragrances from luxury brands:

  • Noble ingredients that ensure that the scent does not go away so quickly. If you spray on a luxury fragrance in the morning, you can usually smell it in the evening.
  • Unisex fragrances that are not specifically designed for men or women. There are exceptions to this, however, so there are from Creed perfume for men and other brands specialize in women’s fragrances.
  • A theme or motto that runs through the entire fragrance series. It is unmistakably linked to the manufacturer and thus ensures clear branding.
  • No advertisements featuring well-known Hollywood actors or actresses. Luxury fragrances do not have to spend a large advertising budget on television and the like.
  • Selective distribution so that the exclusivity of the brand is preserved. Most niche fragrances are not available in the perfumery around the corner.
  • Surprisingly large bottles that should last a long time. Lovers decide once for a fragrance and usually use it for years or decades.
  • Polarizing compositions that don’t appeal to everyone. Niche fragrances often smell very special and not just “like summer”. The rule here is: test beforehand and only then decide.

Find the right niche fragrance
It is not so easy to find a suitable fragrance, especially for beginners. It is important to get used to luxury fragrances first. If you have the opportunity, you can have a sample handed out and try out the potentially new fragrance. Because: Every fragrance smells differently on different people. This applies to cheap perfumes as well as to niche fragrances from the perfume brand Xerjoff or others.

It is important to know which fragrance notes please and suit the wearer. Fragrance workshops from various providers can offer a first clue here. There the participants get to know different fragrances and compose a perfume that suits them. The knowledge acquired there can easily be transferred to luxury fragrances.

Luxury fragrances are something very special. Not everyone can appreciate the fragrances, especially because luxury fragrances are very expensive. However, if you have found a favorite among the niche fragrances, you will have a companion for the rest of your life. And otherwise there are still the cheap fragrances in drugstores and perfumeries.
