Brioni EDP Intense is a stellar designer that smells niche, in my opinion. The green apple and pink pepper accord, along with the vanilla, oud, and ambroxan in the dry down, really makes it signature scent worthy.
I dare not purchase any of the Dunhill signature line, for fear that I'll get addicted and proceed to buy every fragrance in the line 😦 and become super broke rather than just broke.
My favorite Niche quality Designer is Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Extreme. I have a few Niche Tobacco scents and this one stays in the rotation and actually stands out. The smell and the quality are on par with any other Tobacco scents in my collection. Love this stuff.
My favourite niche quality designer fragrance would be Tom ford Ombré leather. Not anything unique or special but just so smooth so well done, easily niche quality!
@@cruisersupsupport4502 yeah from the ones I’ve smelled they’re definitely hit or miss, many being underwhelming but they’re all very expensive and quite frankly overpriced in my opinion but they sell for a reason🤷♂️
I think Moschino Toy Boy is def a niche-level fragrance that's very affordable. I don't love rose but the way it's blended and how it works on my skin was a pleasant surprise
The first time I tried it I didn’t like it. It was kinda smokey-campfire on my skin, which I don’t like. It kept calling me back somehow. When I tried it again it smelled incredible. 🤷♂️
@@aaronandelise it’s magical if the weather is appropriate (it can smell pretty weird if it’s hot, as is the case with many cold weather fragrances). Leather or tobacco based fragrances usually smell terrible on hot weather, for instance.
my pick for niche quality designer would be jpg le male elixir, may be a hot take but i think it hits just as hard as a niche, theres just something so addicting about the smell 😍
I haven't really begun appreciating niche but I think LV imagination and afternoon swim are great candidates. Would really like to try out your frag man. Thanks!
I smelled Jet Black Enigma two weeks ago and it blew me away. What a great scent. I was a bit disappointed to see its price point, but it’s a great, great scent. With Father’s Day coming up, I’m leaning toward Tumi Atlas, love Tumi scents, but Jet Black may be my anniversary ask from my wife.
Blue de Chanel EDP to me is the epitome of a designer fragrance that could be easily considered at the same level or higher in quality than some niche fragrances. Prada’s L’Homme EDP would also be in that category.
My favorite Designer fragrance currently is Bad Boy Cobalt Elixer. I've recently put my other scents on pause and find myself spraying this so much more often. I haven't smelled any current Michael Mulal frags. So I'm hoping to get my nose on one soon. Regardless, I'm gonna always support this channel. You've helped me take leaps toward frags, that in hindsight, I might not have otherwise. So thank you.
The first niche quality designer fragrance that comes to mind is Chanel’s AHS Eau Extreme. As far as ik there’s not one single clone that could even match 80 percent of Eau Extreme’s scent profile. Its depth and quality is like no other. - Another great vid Ash!
It is more like a niche fragrance really because it’s from the private blend line but definitely smells like it. Have you tried the new batches what’s the longevity like ?
My favourite designer frag that I personally think has niche quality is 'Givenchy Gentleman Society' It is quickly becoming my signature scent. Love it
My personal favorite designer fragrance that smells "niche" Is YSL Babycat. It's a bit hard to find here in Canada. Although, I only wear it in Fall and Winter. So, it's sitting on my shelf for now.
For me, Givenchy EDT Intense is definitely a niche quality kind of fragrance but affordable. The iris and woody notes are well done and nicely balanced. This is one of those colognes that can be worn every day and not get bored.
Great choices! I do enjoy some Italian Love. I go back and forth between that and Light Blue Forever which would be my niche quality pick. I love that bitter grapefruit.
Great video, Ash! I love JPG Ultra Male! I think I have a dozen bottles of it, and all the clones as well. This fragrances is definitely niche quality to me. Thanks Ash! 🔥🏆🥇
I think the fragrance that feels the most niche quality to me in designer is Prada lhomme, definitely the highest quality of smell in the designer world and also feels like it doesn’t have that complete crowd pleasing smell of most designers, its artistic and high quality and I love it.
I think the best niche quality designer fragrance is edition Blanche because it’s just so unique in the way it’s crafted and so pleasant to wear, although it’s not the best for everyone! Thank you
I gotta throw some love towards The Most Wanted Parfum. Yes it's very mass appealing, but if it came in a bottle with a couple of horses on the front, fragrance community people would never shut up about it.
Moschino Toy Boy, to me, is a fragrance of niche quality. Way above it's price tag. The rose accords in that scent profile is just truly amazing. I've grown to like it so much.
Dior Homme SPORT is my Super #1. I occasionally wear DH edp and the fresh Cologne. Newer purchases that are wonderful include Valentino Uomo Intense And D&G Italian Love are pleasant. Thank you Ash!
Cop-out, but I have to say Dior Homme Intense. I’ve only worn it a couple times, but it helped me fall in love with iris-scented fragrances, and I can’t wait to use this for a date night or a formal occasion!
Oooh, the best designer with niche would’ve been Dior Fahrenheit but since that’s already on the list I’ll go with Encre Noir by Lalique, it’s unique and different and smells really high quality despite being super affordable
It was mentioned but I’d definitely say Dior Homme Intense is the best niche quality designer fragrance in my collection. They were really cooking with fire when they came out with that! Such a well blended fragrance IMO
I am thinking about Tom Ford Noir Extreme here. There is no denying that it is a designer fragrance going toe to toe with all its niche counterparts. Beautiful scent!
Just blind bought uomo intense based off you saying its getting discontinued lol i trust your opinion. Cant wait for it to get here. I just got my wife valentino donna born in roma coral fantasy and i must say that is possibly the best woman fragrence ive smelled yet.
I really really like Knezo Homme edp. Combination of sea notes and leather is so fascinating to me, it gives me some calm sea at night vibe, I don't know how to explain it. I usually don't like leather fragrances but combination of these notes blows me away. It's also really affordable and unique designer in my opinion. I didn't get the chance to sniff any niche brand besides Montale and Mancera, so I'm pretty new to niche houses
I totally agree with the selections on this list that I own (Tom Ford, Dior, Valentino, Chanel and Guerlain), so though I can't speak about the ones I don't own, I trust your expertise and will give those a try. My suggestions for this list are Givenchy Gentlemen Reserve Privee and Terre d'Hermes. I think they both smell expertly blended and expensive.
I would say the Maison Margiela Replica line plays in the niche space. By the Fireplace and Autumn Vibes are two of my favorites. But, I am going with From the Garden. Super realistic vine tomato not, transports me to a place and the idea of scents being built to evoke memories sings to me.
Favorite niche-quality designer fragrance has got to be Tom Ford Noir Extreme. The kulfi note really makes it stand out, I’ve never seen any other fragrance utilize it
For niche quality designer I would recommend Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Prive. I also agree the Jet Black Enigma would fit the bill. I have the 10 ml travel spray and it is amazing!
I really like the fresh citrus based, and since you already has Chanel AH Edition Blanche on your list... I'm going with Hermes Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraîche and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune. Yes, I know the Hermes is discontinued, but it's still a 10/10 fragrance for me, with the Guerlain coming in close behind.
My favorite designer that borders niche quality is Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, such a thinker of a fragrance. It’s so alluring and intriguing off first smell.
My favorite niche quality designer fragrance could be any from the Dunhill Signature Collection. They are just amazing, with Indian Sandalwood being my absolute favorite!
I have 9 of the 10 on this list and while I don't have Habit Rouge Parfum I do have the Prive version so I'm familiar with the scent profile. My pick of the lot believe it or not is the Dunhill Agar Wood...it is so much better than one could have believed punching well above it's price point.
Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee is the first that comes to mind for me. It's just so smooth and well put together I can't get enough of it
I definitely think Brioni is doing some niche type things. Any of their lineup to be honest. Great stuff.
Brioni EDP Intense is a stellar designer that smells niche, in my opinion. The green apple and pink pepper accord, along with the vanilla, oud, and ambroxan in the dry down, really makes it signature scent worthy.
The entire Dunhill signature line, has niche brand characteristics. One of my most favorite fragrances is Egyptian smoke
I dare not purchase any of the Dunhill signature line, for fear that I'll get addicted and proceed to buy every fragrance in the line 😦 and become super broke rather than just broke.
I'm with you there. Both Egyptian Smoke and Agar Wood are the standouts from the line, imo
i have bottles of egyptian smoke and morrocan amber they switch top spots each time i smell them...but egytian smoke...wow
Absolute pristine natural harmonic black tea note in that one. Love it❤
The experience when I used it was also great
My favorite Niche quality Designer is Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Extreme. I have a few Niche Tobacco scents and this one stays in the rotation and actually stands out. The smell and the quality are on par with any other Tobacco scents in my collection. Love this stuff.
Dior Home Parfum is the 1st that came to my mind as a designer frag with niche quality.
Dior homme parfum is a masterpiece, one of the greatest fragrances ever made.
My favourite niche quality designer fragrance would be Tom ford Ombré leather. Not anything unique or special but just so smooth so well done, easily niche quality!
I believe ombre leather was considered niche originally (it wasn’t part of the signature collection)
For me ombre leather really stinks, I don't know Y
@@DailyContent320 yeah I’ve heard some people say that, some fragrances smell different to different people🤷♂️
As a scent expert from Vietnam, I also appreciate this scent. It's really great
@@cruisersupsupport4502 yeah from the ones I’ve smelled they’re definitely hit or miss, many being underwhelming but they’re all very expensive and quite frankly overpriced in my opinion but they sell for a reason🤷♂️
I think Moschino Toy Boy is def a niche-level fragrance that's very affordable. I don't love rose but the way it's blended and how it works on my skin was a pleasant surprise
For me, Encre Noir. I'm still blown away by the scent and the quality.
When he's rocking the A&B shirt, new favorite youtuber!!
Can be topped with a system F shirt! 🤩
Jet Black Enigma! I wear it to black tie events and it’s a stunner for date night! I have Moroccan Amber from Dunhill and I love it.
Love to see that bottle of Drakkar Noir in the background.
I would say Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee is just a masterpeice and can hang with the best of the Niche frags.
Tobacco vanille. OH BABY how i love tobacco vanille. Definately niche scent profile, and price.
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal L'Intense is niche quality and profile for less than designer prices. Love it!
Dior Sauvage Elxir is the epitome of the high end smell of niche frags. Smells rich, crazy strong, and a huge compliment magnet.
There is something deeply unpleasant about Sauvage Elixir... I can't quite put my finger on it, but its a little 'dank'.
The first time I tried it I didn’t like it. It was kinda smokey-campfire on my skin, which I don’t like.
It kept calling me back somehow. When I tried it again it smelled incredible. 🤷♂️
@@aaronandelise it’s magical if the weather is appropriate (it can smell pretty weird if it’s hot, as is the case with many cold weather fragrances). Leather or tobacco based fragrances usually smell terrible on hot weather, for instance.
The dry down smells like soap to me. Can’t stand it
my pick for niche quality designer would be jpg le male elixir, may be a hot take but i think it hits just as hard as a niche, theres just something so addicting about the smell 😍
I haven't really begun appreciating niche but I think LV imagination and afternoon swim are great candidates.
Would really like to try out your frag man. Thanks!
Tom Ford Black Orchid is the best for me. So deep, mysterious and inviting.
Love the A&B shirt!
My favorite niche quality designer is sauvage elixir! It's just such a masculine and rich scent.
Thank you Ash for the video! My Designer Fragrance that crushes niche fragrances would be either M7 Oud Absolu from YSL or Prada l'Homme Intense :D
My niche quality designer fragrance choice should be Dior Eau sauvage Parfum! Just love it
My favorite designer fragrance would be YSL Y Le Parfum
It just stands out!
I smelled Jet Black Enigma two weeks ago and it blew me away. What a great scent. I was a bit disappointed to see its price point, but it’s a great, great scent. With Father’s Day coming up, I’m leaning toward Tumi Atlas, love Tumi scents, but Jet Black may be my anniversary ask from my wife.
Blue de Chanel EDP to me is the epitome of a designer fragrance that could be easily considered at the same level or higher in quality than some niche fragrances. Prada’s L’Homme EDP would also be in that category.
Probably the most obvious pick, but I think Tom Ford Oud Wood is a pretty niche quality fragrance, and is one of the best at what it does.
When I bought Dior Homme Parfum I was so blown away. The smell was nothing like I was expecting. The leather note in there makes it smell exclusive.
I would go with Gentleman Prive for my pick
Gucci Guilty Absolute…I love it…it’s a beast and smells like a cedar/leather mix to me…
Cheers ash for the the Uk 🇬🇧 mention. I’ll deffo give your fragrance a chance 👌🏻

Another great vid Ash!
I own both LV Afternoon Swim and Ombré Nomade I would say they both have niche quality
My favorite niche level designer is Tom Ford's Oud Wood. It started my interest in woody fragrances and has gotten me so many compliments.
It is more like a niche fragrance really because it’s from the private blend line but definitely smells like it. Have you tried the new batches what’s the longevity like ?
My favourite designer frag that I personally think has niche quality is 'Givenchy Gentleman Society'
It is quickly becoming my signature scent. Love it

dior sauvage elixir is definitely one of my favourites. And I also like de guerlain l'homme line.
all the best to you Ash.
I’m going with Terre D’Hermes pure parfum as designer with niche quality!!! It’s my #1.
For me, Givenchy EDT Intense is definitely a niche quality kind of fragrance but affordable. The iris and woody notes are well done and nicely balanced. This is one of those colognes that can be worn every day and not get bored.
My favourite niche like designer fragrance is Tom Ford Noir a Extreme Parfum. Thanks for the great content as always.
Tom Ford oud minerale, definitely not for everyone, but I think is so unique and amazing, amazing content!!!

Tom fords oud minerale is definitely niche quality. I love how much it captures the smell of the sea through wood and salt
I think the best niche quality designer fragrance is edition Blanche because it’s just so unique in the way it’s crafted and so pleasant to wear, although it’s not the best for everyone! Thank you
I gotta throw some love towards The Most Wanted Parfum. Yes it's very mass appealing, but if it came in a bottle with a couple of horses on the front, fragrance community people would never shut up about it.
Moschino Toy Boy, to me, is a fragrance of niche quality. Way above it's price tag. The rose accords in that scent profile is just truly amazing. I've grown to like it so much.
Italian love is my favorite. Walmart has it now $55 for the 50ml.Thanks Ash I thought it was discontinued 🙏
I added it to cart, but it's already out of stock 😢
Another great video Ash!
For me, I think most fragrances from YSL have Niche quality for a designer fragrance.
Dior Homme SPORT is my Super #1. I occasionally wear DH edp and the fresh Cologne. Newer purchases that are wonderful include Valentino Uomo Intense And D&G Italian Love are pleasant. Thank you Ash!
I don’t have a lot of experience with niche fragrances/houses, but I imagine something like Givenchy Gentleman Réserve Privée.
My favorite niche like designer fragrance is Tom Ford Noir Extreme. Love the Above & Beyond shirt.
Brioni EDP Intense is a fragrance I picked up recently and immediately thought the quality of it was spectacular. Love wearing it for a night out.
Hi Ash ! Superb content as always. I believe that Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum is of niche quality and beyond through and through.
Cop-out, but I have to say Dior Homme Intense. I’ve only worn it a couple times, but it helped me fall in love with iris-scented fragrances, and I can’t wait to use this for a date night or a formal occasion!
Oooh, the best designer with niche would’ve been Dior Fahrenheit but since that’s already on the list I’ll go with Encre Noir by Lalique, it’s unique and different and smells really high quality despite being super affordable

Those Dunhill Signature line fragrances are killer! Love the Egyptian Smoke one a lot too

Just blind bought uomo intense based off you saying its getting discontinued lol i trust your opinion. Cant wait for it to get here. I just got my wife valentino donna born in roma coral fantasy and i must say that is possibly the best woman fragrence ive smelled yet.
I have to agree with Dior Sauvage Elixir. I love the quality and projection I’ve had the same bottle from release day. An amazing fragrance!
Italian love is amazing. The citrus reminds me of some niche fragrances I like.
I really really like Knezo Homme edp. Combination of sea notes and leather is so fascinating to me, it gives me some calm sea at night vibe, I don't know how to explain it. I usually don't like leather fragrances but combination of these notes blows me away. It's also really affordable and unique designer in my opinion. I didn't get the chance to sniff any niche brand besides Montale and Mancera, so I'm pretty new to niche houses
my favorite niche quality designer scent is allure edition blanche. i love lemon.
My vote would be for Grey Vetiver, it just smells a notch above most other designer fragrances I’ve smelled
Oooh, that'd be Le Beau Paradise Garden. Absolutely adore it!
For me it has to be the TF Ombre Leather. It's my favorite cool weather scent.
I totally agree with the selections on this list that I own (Tom Ford, Dior, Valentino, Chanel and Guerlain), so though I can't speak about the ones I don't own, I trust your expertise and will give those a try. My suggestions for this list are Givenchy Gentlemen Reserve Privee and Terre d'Hermes. I think they both smell expertly blended and expensive.
i gotta go with dior homme intense. Smells like quality and stands out as a well put together designer with niche quality.
Brioni Intense is a designer fragrance I would consider niche quality. Great List!
Ombre Noir, Prava Intense, CH Passion, Brioni Intense and my favorite cheapie ever, Moustache EDP
I would say the Maison Margiela Replica line plays in the niche space. By the Fireplace and Autumn Vibes are two of my favorites. But, I am going with From the Garden. Super realistic vine tomato not, transports me to a place and the idea of scents being built to evoke memories sings to me.
Favorite niche-quality designer fragrance has got to be Tom Ford Noir Extreme. The kulfi note really makes it stand out, I’ve never seen any other fragrance utilize it
JPG Le male Elixir to me just smells so high quality and deep, it’d have to be considered niche quality. Great video!
Great video! My designer with niche quality would be spicebomb extreme. That stuff is fire!
Aqua Amara and uomo intense would fill that role for me. Great vid!
i really love roberto cavalii uomo nothing smells like it and it’s so rare knowing people that having that scent
Just smelled JPG elixir for the first time recently and it was stunning. One spray and I was hooked. It'd be fair to call it niche quality imo.
I just got Dior Sauvage Elixir recently and I don't regret the hefty price tag, smells amazing and performs like a BEAST
For me, the best designer with niche quality is ombré noire by Lalique.
This was the first fragrance I thought of
For niche quality designer I would recommend Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Prive. I also agree the Jet Black Enigma would fit the bill. I have the 10 ml travel spray and it is amazing!
I really like the fresh citrus based, and since you already has Chanel AH Edition Blanche on your list... I'm going with Hermes Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraîche and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune.

Great Picks Ash. My favourite niche quality designer fragrance would be Dior Homme Parfum.
Favorite niche I own is Silver Mountain Water, wish it would last longer but that smell it’s just great
My favorite niche quality designer fragrance could be any from the Dunhill Signature Collection. They are just amazing, with Indian Sandalwood being my absolute favorite!
Fahrenheit le parfum was the first frag that came to mind for sure
I've seen it mentioned a couple of times, but reserve prevee is it for me. Just the way it opens it enough to convince me of niche quality.
My favorite niche quality designer scent has to be Dunhill icon. It's my favorite Dunhill and the smell and performance has always been amazing to me
Valentino is a classic. Love your shows, helps me know what to buy.
I have 9 of the 10 on this list and while I don't have Habit Rouge Parfum I do have the Prive version so I'm familiar with the scent profile. My pick of the lot believe it or not is the Dunhill Agar Wood...it is so much better than one could have believed punching well above it's price point.
For me my favorite designer “niche” quality is Light Blue Forever, because of how much I love the realistic grapefruit note 😊
Narcisco Rodriguez Blue Parfume fits the bill, especially @ the price point
My favorite designer niche quality fragrance is definitely Dior Homme Intense. Love the iris, love the iris....love the iris.
Definitely agree with Sauvage elixir. It’s one in my collection that feels niche. Bravanzo Baron gives me that vibe too.
