What is a Niche perfume: 5 Niche perfumes to set you part from the crowd
What is a niche fragrance?
A niche fragrance is an in-house perfume that is artistic and extravagant, produced on a small scale that does not rely on a high-scale distribution. The perfumers are the primary perfume makers of a niche company and promote their own niche creations, which are mostly sold by the in-house brand store or occasionally sold in a few retail luxury stores.
A niche perfume is typically made with the finest quality materials both synthetic and natural, done by the most meticulous and careful hand. This results in the rarity of these scents and thus, this also equates to more time taken in creation.
Difference between a Niche fragrances and a Designer perfume?
It is easy to confuse a designer perfume for a Niche fragrance, While designer perfumes are crowd-pleasers and mass-appealing, niche fragrances tend to be more elegant and capture the essence of exclusivity. Contrary to designer brands, niche perfume brands are also generally smaller than the major fragrance houses, thus, perfumers get the more creative freedom to actually do what they feel, like, and want to create which is often not found in designer counterparts.
