Dope list. Yeah, def agree with bond no 9 lmao
Bond = wackness, yes. Thank you so much! =]
Hi again, Bruno!
Please email me at CascadeScents@gmail.com with your shipping information. You're the random lucky winner of the assorted niche fragrance sample pack. Congratulations. =]
CascadeScents info sent! Thanks!
Yeah very agreeable list
From my own bias, I'd rank PDM as an A, but I understand your angle. For me, what puts them at an A is the performance of all of their fragrances. They are literally ALL beast mode, which is why they get so many compliments. So not an S because they aren't edgy enough to create something brand new, but definitely an A in my book.
They haven't produced a true aquatic or oceanic yet. Too hot in Florida to wear most of their offerings. But for sure high quality.
Is Creed "edgy"
THUMBS UP 4 FREE FRAGRANCE SAMPLES! =]

#WearYourFragrances
I kinda factored that elevated designer stuff into my designer video. I'm using the words niche and designer quite literally as if designer brands kinda fall into the same umbrella with each other, and if your main focus is perfumery, then you end up on this list. Ex: Cartier with accessories, Lalique with glassware, Ermenegildo Zegna with suits, etc...
Thanks for stopping by. =]
Always interested in trying different things 👍
André I. that is how I define it, yes. A more literal sense in how this is their predominant niche, whether it’s high level ingredients or blend, or not. For example, Fragonard is still niche to me, despite their low price points. Cheers! =]
Great concept , love your clear thinking and no nonsense approach. You worked through this progression very logically with speed and consistency. I do agree with you for the most part. It does make me put off buying something like Clive Christian . I guess I have none in my wardrobe because they are over valued. I still have no Xerjoffs but I have many decants and I am getting close. I would like to know which Xerjoff you would recommend as my first to be used for daytime office wear in a professional medical environment.
Great video my man! You helped me find a cologne that I've been looking for now for years. One tip, if you want to step up your category try doing your videos in fewer cuts. I'm not trying to be mean, but i'm giving you that older brother tough love. Thanks again for your great content and I'll be looking forward to your new releases.
This was a much needed categorization video. Looking forward to see other reviewers join in doing this.
Great content!
Thank you so much, Mel. I try! Cheers. =]
What a great video bro keep up the great work, I loved what you said about Parfum de Marly, yes they smell amazing how niche fragrances are supposed to smell (as far as quality) but not an original smell.
Great topic! Good list for the most part - I just love PDM and Kilian those 2 are A list for me. Creed is more B list to me but they are good - they kill me with batches arghhhh!
Phenomenal video! I like the tier concept similar to making tiers of what credit cards to get 😂 I too have an emotional attachment to Creed and starting to develop one for Guerlain-just got back from Europe and was able to get my nose on a lot of their of offerings
Creed and Guerlain FTW! Thank you so much! =]
Excellant idea for a video Manny! Loved the rankings and suggestions. Gives me more info on what I gotta my nose on.
Thank you so much. I try! =]
Fun concept great vid man ! Seen many of these in the gaming community
As someone who has been involved in fighting games where these originated, this felt natural to do. Thank you so much, Cody! =]
Great video. Very interesting where you rank different houses. Future possible video idea for you. You mentioned that Acqua di Parma was a good house but that there are other fragrances out there that are better performers. I would dig a series that was if you like “A” designer/Niche fragrance you should try “B” fragrance. “B”might perform better or do a specific note better, or just be less mainstream. Keep up the great content man.
I'll like an AdP frag, but other fragrances that are completely unrelated yet still in the same genre I may prefer from other brands [is what I was trying to say].
Thanks for the kind words and suggestion, Jeff. Cheers! =]
Awesome review. Very original and informative. I was always wondering if PDM fragrances were comparable to any designers. On a side note, what is that background music that you're using ? I am really dig'n that as well.
The Wait Is Over by Matt Large!
And thank you so much! =]
I've tryed almost everything from creed, and it's super overrated imo. I like their stuff, but there's definitely much better brands like kilian, Byredo and Le Labo.
Yeah agreed. I think kilian Is overrated too, but creed can't compare in quality for price and unique smells with Guerlain, Byredo, PDM, Goldfield and Banks, etc.
All of this is subjective of course but Creed has been around for 250 years for a reason. They are the gold standard for cologne because they produce niche level quality that is still accessible by the masses.
@@mrmike616 but they are less accessible than much better perfumeries
@@elihollingsworth6852 no way man. Everybody loves Aventus, Green Irish Tweed and Millesime Imperial just to name a few. The other perfumeries being better is your opinion. You liking the others better doesn't make them better.
@@elihollingsworth6852 PDM lol. Most of the scents I’ve smelled from them are the same/synthetic/trash. Their fall scents are okay but they all smell the same.
Creed is 1000 times better. Most people would say PDM because they can get big bottles of it for under 200.
Great video. Loved the idea on the ranking fir fragrance houses.
Thank you so much Andy! =]
these two videos are absolutely great ! and somehow they're both very relaxing...
Thank you so much! =]
I agree with your list brother! PDM should've joined Clive, Jo malone & Bond at the F tier. Byredo could also join Montale in the E tier hehe! Excellent job, this list is hard to do & you did it with fair justifications, Cheers!
Thank you so much as always, Alex! We would have the most justified F tier, yes, hahaha. =]
So on point Manny! Fan of your content
Informative as always bruh, Mancera Sicily is a favorite of mine for summer, smells great and actually performs....I'm so tired of high priced frags that don't perform...no reason for it imho....I mean in the 80's everything was a beast lol so we know they can all make their products to perform atleast for 7 to 8 hours...Lyric man rocks 2, I actually have 2 bottles of this one, one being vintage...I need to wear this one more...
Thank you so much, David! Lyric Man FTW! =]
Although I love some Jo Malone and Bond No. 9 fragrances (Myrrh & Tonka and Bleecker Street, respectively) but none of them have surprised me that much to love them. So yeah, an easy F for them.
Great video, yet again!
Dude.Great review.I haven't tried some of these Houses like Xerjoff.The ones I have tried,I can't disagree with you. On point.
Thank you so much, Louis! =]
I would rank them close to yours, out of this list I own more Creeds at 9 bottles so far. I can’t say that with other houses. But definitely some will get into the collection. Enjoyed this tier list so thanks again Manny! 😊
Thank you so much, Edwin! Salute! =]
Thank you for the niche version! Both great videos
Thank you so much! =]
Really feeling this vid and the designer one. Super creative!
Thank you so much! =]
Thank you for the list. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! =]
In your opinion, what is the most similar fragrance to Gucci poure homme ii and Boss #6? Would really appreciate your opinion. Thank you!
For the Gucci, here: www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Hanae-Mori/HiM-16099.html
For the Boss, IDK, sorry.
You're welcome. Thank you! =]
Love creed and Fredrick Malle want to try le labo great video :)
Love the way you broke each house down into tier level... Super dope Manny
Thank you so much! I try! =]
This is a super interesting watch. Both this and the designer version gives a nice overview of the brands.
Thank you so much! I try! =]
Informative, straightforward info, very helpful thank you
Excellent video! However, Xerjoff should absolutely be S-tier.
Not enough moves me emotionally in Xerjoff so far, but it's hard to refute their variety. Love those guys!
Thank you so much! =]
Definitely not
Most definitely
@@nunyabidniz3262 overpriced designer level fragrances with no artistry
@@MrCguy24 lol! It appears you have a designer level nose😂 Whatever flushes your toilet😂😂
This was a great vid, shocked I agreed with so many lol. I gotta say I would love to see an Indie niche vid too
Thanks for the kind words and suggestion! Cheers, Drew! =]
I love this concept man! Creed Royal Oud is the boss! The only Guerlain I've tried is Spirituese Double Vanilla; it's amazing.
Thank you so much! =]
Bruh, Angélique Noire bodies SDV. You got to try that too, and Bois D'Arménie, Rose Barbare, Cuir Beluga, etc... :P
@@CascadeScents I'll try to find those for sure. Thanks bro!
Interesting list! I'm somewhat surprised by the Frederic Malle pick but considering that I haven't tried Musc Ravageur or Portrait of a Lady (which people say it could also be worn by men) I will just take your word for it :D
Thank you so much! FM FTW! =]
I don't really have any opinions on C - F, but I would maybe raise Kilian one spot. MFK would be an "S" tier for me without any doubt! I'd also maybe raise PdM one spot. I don't care what it may be copying, but Layton is one of my favorite scents ever! Thank you for making a list though. It helps me visualize where I would place the different houses.
Thank you so much, Matthew! =]
Agree with you on all of them surprisingly haha. I would add Byron perfumes only because I'm a sucker for mula mula. Great list!
Thank you so much! Cheers, Jonathan! =]
Love those tier list videos!
Thank you so much! =]
This is dope dude!
This tier list is much closer to how I would rank them than the designer one was. I'd swap FM and Guerlain with Roja and Xerjoff though. Drop Kilian a tier as I really only enjoy a couple of them. Mancera move up one tier, solely for variety (I feel everyone can find something they like), performance, wearability, and price point. Overall great video. Cheers!
Mancera deserves props for the reasons you said. Without a doubt. Thank you so much! =]
Awesome video! Big thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻 Guerlain 🔥🔥
Thank you so much! Guerlain FTW! =]
I’m liking the tier list! Pretty cool idea
Thank you so much! =]
Solid list, I agree with most of your picks
Would you say PDM Carlisle is a more original creation? Can't think of any other fragrance that smells like it. Also surprised you didn't mention Nishane. They've been releasing some bangers!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like bond no 9 and by kilian and monteal and I'm gonna try the other fragrance houses and have a blessed day
Thank you so much as always, Michael! Cheers! =]
You welcome keep up the good work
Any experience with Frapin? If so what tier would you put them?
E or D at most, probably. I like two scents, and the rest are unimpressive for me, sadly. Thanks for asking, fam! =]
Too real! Love that you’re not stanning for the big brands and giving real info!
Thank you so much! Cheers, Brad! =]
Great list Manny!
Thank you so much! =]
Another 🔥🔥🔥🔥 video fam
Thank you so much as always, fam! Salute! =]
Great job again Manny... I particularly like the top three tier. Love the knowledge you bring!
Thank you so much, Jose! =]
Dope content I don’t really disagree with your list or reasons why you had that order. A dope list would be your favorite or top fragrance from each house and the designer that is closest to resembling the niche fragrance. 👍🏿
Thank you for the kind words and suggestion! Cheers, Moses. =]
Wow this was damn interesting, very cool, agree with a lot of it, I personally love montale and mancera so I’d have them higher up, i love beastly juice and there is a hell of a lot of choices other than just the ouds within the house, I’m wearing Aoud leather today as it goes, such a delicious fruity leather, but I don’t get any oud ha!
Thank you so much, Scott! And hey, I am glad that you are enthused for those brands too! =]
Just starting to get into Niche, nice video
Thank you so much! =]
Great list! Couldn’t agree more
Thank you so much, Victor! =]
Another Awesome Video Bro!
Thank you so much, Jamie! =]
Ohh waoo... what a great way to express your taste in fragrances. Thumbs up buddy.
Thank you so much! =]
Hey Manny. I am not sure if I missed it but did you factor in the price when ranking these brands ? It would be interesting to know how the rankings will be if all of them are priced say $3/ml and all will come in 50mls.
I ranked these brands as far as what they are good at vs what opposing brands at similar price points are good at. Ex: CC and F and Roja at A because I think for that target market, Roja is way better at those same genres in similar price points. Ya feel?
For sure agree with you on FM. I don't think Guerlain's premium lines don't get enough love in the community. Creed? DK, but I respect it. Fun video as always.
FM and Guerlain FTW! Thank you so much, my friend! =]
Fun video! I would definitely have some in a different order. Guerlain would also be no. 1 for me, but Roja would be an F. Derivative, too expensive, no standouts for me. Clive Christian would be much higher on my list, as would Jo Malone, Otherwise I can vibe with the rest of your list! :)
Guerlain FTW! Thank you so much as always! =]
Agree with most. Good vid bro
Happy ya gave props to The king
When Aventus stops making me FEEL amazing, that's when I'll stop wearing it.
I have to buy Naxos next .. I'm obsessed with that fragrance.
ty for the video
I’m with you on Creed - great video
Thank you so much! Creed gives me those feels, yes! =]
Another great video 👍🏾
Thank you so much! =]
Well my friend, I salute you!! I would probably put mfk a bit higher and Frédéric Malle a bit lower but other than that I totally agree.
Thank you so much! I try! =]
Please try Jo Malone’s Myrrh & Tonka if you haven’t. It’s DOPE! And the newest from Atelier Cologne... Pacific Lime👌🏾
Pacific lime is nice just the performance
Nice very nice!! Hey I’m a new subscriber bro!!
Thank you so much, and for subscribing. =]
Great video love these nasomatto should be higher in my opinion
Nasomatto makes great stuff, so I can't refute this. Thank you so much! =]
Hi Manny, have you tried any of the Nishane line? I would recommend some from there for a review, like Hundred silent ways, Ambra Calabria & Fan your flames.
I have featured Nishane offerings in the past. Love them!
However, I wanted to keep this list more of that mainstream, I can get this at Saks, Holt's, or Harvey Nichols-esque niche kinda list.
Thanks for stopping by! =]
This should be a tag video...I enjoyed it, and for the most part agree with it.
It would be interesting to see a Luxe Scents tier video, for the Herme's, Tom Ford's, Armani Prive's, Chanel Exclusives, Dior Exclusives etc.
Thank you so much, and I kinda factored those exclusive lines into the previous designer video. Cheers! =]
Interesting List, some lower than I thought. Nice video.
Thank you so much! =]
S-tier should have Areej Le Doré and Bortnikoff. A-tier or actually maybe B-tier should include House of Matriarch and possibly Bodacious the Victorious right?
Any chance you may be updating this list or making a new Video for 2021 ? Unless not much has changes ( Bond no 9 has got worse for me , didnt know if that was even possible :P I wonder if itll even make the F tier now)
enjoyed your list and the reasoning behind it
I would add Caron (B - probably the best value in all of Niche), L’Artisan Parfumeur (B), Profumum Roma (C), Zoologist (B), Tauer (B), Jovoy (B), Heeley (C) and Nishane (B). I would move some of Your A’s, B’s and C’s around a bit but, think this is a really good list.
Thorough list! Would've been interesting to see where you would have placed Imaginary Authors...
My reasoning for not doing IA is because I wanted to keep this video only mainstream brands. For me, it's easier to do this because I know all of them fairly well. If I delve into indie-ish stuff, or stuff that doesn't have that much distribution, there's dozens, hundreds of brands that I am less familiar with. Thank you so much! =]
Interesting.. do people not consider Tom Ford niche? They're sorta in the middle of designer and niche. And do we consider Guerlain niche?
Guerlain is definitely niche. They specialize in perfumes for the most part. Tom Ford is more of a designer/lifestyle brand with his emphasis on apparel and whatnot. Thanks for stopping by.
My S tier would be Amouage, Guerlain, Frederick mallet, Serge Lutens.
Nice list, Manny! And a cool idea in general. Here's to hoping the haters hold fast.
Thank you so much! I try! =]
Was hoping to see Initio on here. Definitely one of my favorite houses
Would be kinda interesting to see you do one of these tier videos for clone houses and how you'd rank them
I'll save that for a creator who is more remotely interested in clones! But it would be lovely to see. Thanks for the suggestion, Sam!
Fun video brother. I wonder if there would be a super "super" tier that includes Areej le Dore, Dmitri Bortnikov, and a couple other extreme niche perfume makers. Cheers,
Thank you so much, and for the suggestion. Cheers, fam! =]
I would want to see Tom Ford in this list. Great list and concept of listing fragrances. I agree with the creed tier!
Its in the designer tier list along with all the other designers this one is just the niche.
See designer video.
Thank you so much! =]
IMO Parfums de Marly don't deserve to be next to big houses like amouage, kilian or MFK, is designer with premium quality but no creativity at all, only good marketing. And I'd swap Roja by Creed. Great video thanks to share!!
Thank you so much, Rodrigo! Much love! =]
A lot of glaring omissions-and some shockers-but super awesome idea 👏👏👏👍
Thank you so much! =]
Great list!
Thank you so much! =]
Haven’t tried much from Roja but what I have 😍😍 S tier what I’ve tried and Kilian goddamn Single Malt is the shit. I still say if you went with nothing else but Creed’s you would have a fragrance (and sometimes multiple fragrances) for literally every occasion
Single Malt FTW! Thanks for stopping by! =]
where would you put l artisan parfumeur?
Awesome video as always, thanks to you and Alexandria fragrances I can smell like the expensive stuff. I love your sweaters man can you post where you get your sweaters 🙃
I don't get my sweaters from a specific depot or something, TBH. But that at one point you could have copped on Dover Street Market. It's a Comme des Garçons Play pullover. Thank you so much! =]
Good video... can you do a Top 10 Best Quality for the Price.. not be budget or if you love it. Just the quality of the fragrance compare to price
Love this tier video and I 100 agree
Nice list , What happened to Nishane or Tiziani being on the list?
favorite hermes colognes for summer?
Would you lump initio with PDM I guess?
Great tier list!
Thank you so much! =]
Great concept for a video.
Thank you so much! =]
I haven't tried all of them but IMO the best quality is Amouage. Their fragrances really smell rich,thick and of natural ingredients. Better than Creed and Xerjoff.
Great list and video as Always. My favorit houses are le Labo,Creed,MFK and Frédéric malle..... And gypsy water😉You are My favorite niche guy om TH-cam. Keep up the good work.
G-Water FTW! :P
Thank you so much! I am super-flattered! =]
What is Galloway a clone of? Curious
Lalique White for the most part. I don't get what he says about Herod and Layton tho
Great video! I wholeheartedly agree with PdM, while I do like some of their offerings, they are unoriginal and a niche clone house. Funny how clone houses (DUA, AF, PV) get raked over the coals for being unoriginal clone houses, yet those same people glorify and rave about PdM.
PdM FTL! Thank you so much! =]
i recognize you must have pretty high standards and i can respect that but me personally im happy with my b/c tier brands that i use on a daily basis. would love to try creed at some point but rn im still looking to expand my diptyque/byredo collection.
What about lartisan parfumier aren’t they one of the older more established niche brands also where was tiziana tirenzi I feel those are serious houses to miss out I suppose they are not as popular but where do they rank
Bruh, I unfairly and accidentally whiffed on the brands. I'd have each brand in B or C TBH! Great stuff either way though. Thanks for stopping by!
