Niche, designer, cheapies, I want it all. I'm finding I really enjoy the vocabulary of fragrance. I love what fragrance invokes and appreciate your laid back, conversation fragrance stories. This is an education for me so I like it all.
I like to see designer and niche together. I would much rather know about "good" rather than "good for a designer," so seeing them together is really cool.
Combination of both! I value your opinion and like to hear your thoughts on designers that others often cover. I also like how you bring in oddball brands not many talk about! I tried Kiehl’s Original Musk and Ineke Idyllwild because of you and they both blew my mind 🤩
You’re my go-to reviewer for niche brands. A lot of the reviewers are already doing designers (Jeremy, Gent Scents...) and your collab with Dana and other guests are really informative and entertaining. That being said, throwing in some designers and cheapies will also give us comparisons with the niche fragrances you review. Not all of us have access or have the resources to afford niche perfumes so I think a well-rounded approach works best to inform collectors and casual viewers.
More Niche, one reason why I watch your videos is the fact that you show and review niche brands that not many people have heard of. Most Designers smell very generic, synthetic and cheap.
Both. But I appreciate the Niche reviews. I am eyeing up Saguara Perfumes and can't find reviews anywhere. I live in the US Southwest so alot of the notes are appealing to me and feel more natural. So appreciate that you bring designer brands as well as brands I might not hear of otherwise.
I prefer a non-discriminatory approach when it comes to fragrance. That being said, niche tends to be more interesting & innovative. At the end of the day if it's good (niche or not) it's worth talking about :)
I prefer the combo method, Sebastien. I really like your encyclopedia-like knowledge and the range you cover in your videos. There's something for everyone!
I like both your designer and niche videos, but will admit that out of the fragrance influencers I follow, you do the best at the niche. I think you probably have the best collection/access, so on a list like this, for example, you have not five, not 10, but 20 really unique niche fragrances. IF other influencers do niche, I feel like it's the same five niche players. Always enjoy your videos! Thank you!
Yes, please do combination of niche and designer. It would be nice to know if the unisex fragrance you talk about is feminine or masculine leaning. As a woman, I still want to smell more feminine and I know you have more male subscribers and you are yourself so I don’t expect you to do a lot of feminine fragrances. But I am always listening to how you describe the fragrance notes to distinguish if they are leaning which side and I appreciate it when you do mention which spectrum it leans on. Great and informative video again!
Please make a DESIGNER and a CHEAPIE version of this video soon! I love to see the niche but I can't really follow up on any of the recommendations given the state of economy :(
I would prefer niche because youtube is full of designers. I usually appreciate your contenct because I can descover new, unique fragrances through it.
I prefer niche only. I look at it this way, Sebastian: If I want to try any of the majority of designer fragrances, I can get online samples or just go to my nearest Macy's (which is readily accessible when coronavirus isn't). I simply find niche fragrances to be not only better, but infinitely so.
I like a combination. I wear niche but do buy designers as gifts to friends and relatives. Lol. Pls, don’t blame me haha. Also, I think designers can be nice and inexpensive work fragrances. So yes, combo of niche and designers is good, but make it two separate videos. I have really enjoyed ur recommendations. Best fragrance review on TH-cam in my opinion. Straight talking and good description without compromises!
I enjoy the channel as is discussing designer, luxury and niche fragrances. Since the weather has started to warm up I’ve been reaching for my 10 ml decant of Afternoon Swim, Louis Vuitton and also my bottle of Rive D’Ambre,Tom Ford.
I had a sample of You or Someone Like You that I initially did not like it. But after wearing it on a warm day, it really shines. I totally get the freshly cut mint and citrus, but the dry down is more rose and green stems/leaves (slightly similar to Rose et Cuir). Great stuff and I love the house!
I like knowing about any frags so I know what to look for - good or bad. I wouldn't say I prefer niche or designer, although as someone on a somewhat tight budget I would say I like to learn about budget frags.
Another vote for combination for both. Although if I have to pick, then probably niche, as designers are easy for me to test for myself as they are much more readily available.
I always appreciate your balance of niche and designer fragrances. A lot of niche are too pricey for my budget, but I like learning about them for when I am able to splurge. I think you have a nice balance.
Niche for sure. Can I ask for a video introducing 10-20 summer fragrance for women, in which you can based on the most popular designer fragrances and recommend a niche comparing to each designer, which have a more complex, better scent and performance?
How nice of you to ask! I like a combination of designer and niche, since there are fragrances in both categories that I really love. I enjoy the videos on houses with a confusing number of perfumes - Serge Lutens, for instance - and LOVE the super-geeky ones you do with that very funny, very smart woman with the adorable accent.
I recently tried bergamote 22 because I’m such a huge another 13 fan but because of the vetiver base note I truly couldn’t stand it 😔 I would have loved it if it wasn’t for the vetiver. Not the first time I’ve disliked vetiver, it reminds me of wet grass. What a shame!! The citrus in it is amazing.
I'd say just keep doing what you're doing. Prefer the neich Reviews more, but have a very similar nose to your preferences, so I live the designers and cheapies from you as well, as those are more accessible to me and I feel idlikethem if you like them. Great work as usual good Sir!
I prefer the combo, im begining with niche and i'm More interested to know about them but all fragances are great. Greetings from México your videos are great.
I honestly don’t know. Out of all of my fragrances 80% are designer because I just recently got into niche scents and the only three I have are Creed Silver Mountain Water, Virgin Island Water, and Parfums De Marly Layton but I rather use those three any day. Not that I don’t love designer fragrances but those three niche (specially Silver Mountain Water) have something that’s just intoxicating. I think by now no doubt Creed SMW is my signature scent.😍😎👌🏽💯
Thanks for the reviews! I always watch them because I have the more or less the same taste and I always have something to learn. I prefer a combo of both since I buy both categories plus the affordable/cheaper ones.
Even now social distancing at home I´m wearing these, will keep rotating most of these throughout the Summer I think, maybe adding Azzaro Chrome Aqua and Mugler Fly Away if I get them by then: Mugler Cologne Terre De Hermes EDT Fougere Royale Encre Noire Sport, also normal Encre Noire some days actually Guerlain Vetiver Zara Vibrant Leather EDP + Armaf Club de Nuit Intense (killer Aventus clone combo) Banana Republic 78 Vintage Green Nautica Voyage
Niche! And maybe luxury designer? I’m always interested in what Tom Ford is up to but I love niche perfume houses because I don’t want to smell like everyone else. Would love for you to do some reviews on D.S & Durga!
A balance between Designer and Niche with a slight emphasis on Niche as you have been doing is the way to go. Keeps us informed of hidden gems we may not have heard of that we need to experience.
Hello sébastian . I am french living in the french west indies. I love your reviews, your style and taste. I like ear you talking about niche but designer fragrances also ( even if i prefer niche). What i would like, is to have more informations about women fragrances. Bye and thank you
I like a mix. I like learning about niche fragrances but so many aren't readily available to most people to try. So sometimes a video goes by of 20 fragrances I can never try unless I order samples online. So mixing fragrances in that are easy to find is nice, too
I like the balance you present already. I learn so much by watching your channel. Thank You! I don't have a lot of summer niche yet (Creed Virgin Island Water is about it). I do have several upscale designers like Armani Prive's Orangerie Venise, Vetiver d'hiver and Eau de Jade that I plan on wearing a lot.
Niche. Every other channel does designer. You're a true aficionado so you should only tell us about things worthy of your skilled nose. If there's a designer you just love, sure. But I definitely expect niche explorations from you and your superb guests.
I enjoy the combo of both, leaning more toward niche 😁 Either way your content is very diverse and well rounded as it is. Cheapie, designer, niche, odd balls, indie, etc! All of them! 😁
Definitely both! Love hearing about lesser known designer frags, but also really interested in niche and oddball brands. Really enjoy your videos Sebastian.
Definitely both, we get to absorb all your knowledge x Etat Libre D'Orange is next on my list, I have recently purchased 3 of the new Molton brown EDP, I was very impressed with these also loving the heavy flacon, my next purchase from this brand will be the Milk Musk x have you had any experience with the EDP yet?? Please tell us what you think x
I like what you are doing the way you do it, I personally, prefer your niche reviews due to the price of niche fragrances I tend to watch reviews about niche fragrances more than designer. But you have a good review balance in my opinion, thank you for the great reviews.
Ellen McGeady I agree. I love the niche myself, but a little more unisex, leaning feminine, would be fantastic. His nose is the one I trust! I’ve purchased over 4 new fragrances because of him.😊
I do not own any celebrity fragrances, I own high end designers and niche. The reason is, I like when fragrance is developing in different stages, I am with it all day, and I enjoy long lasting, evolving perfumes. I do not see a point smelling good for 20 min and then has the soapy mess for the rest of the day. I like when you have a theme to your video - like "patchouli". I have bought Les Nereides "Patchouli Precieux" because of u. Also, I have bought Kilian "Rose Oud" - you are right, compliment getter. I agree on "old fashioned" vibe of Nio. I am a woman, and when I wear it, it usually commented as "who is wearing strong cologne", not a "perfume". Lol.
You gotta shave down the indents inside the cap of sedley because when it’s on that tight you can pull the ring around the atomizer with the cap. Pdm has that problem. I push down on those indents with a small piece of metal so it slides off easy.
Combos. I found Van Cleef and Arpels fragrances on Fragrancenet. You did a vid on affordable designer which was very similar to another designer -niche brand. Bois d’argent(Dior) $220 and Bois d’Iris(VCnA) This is Soooo close to Dior so I purchased 3 bottles of d’Iris for $63 each. Luckyscent is still asking for $195! You were the reviewer that I subscribed to last month. Eva Monroe was the other. I’ve been watching you for 3yrs...🤫Keep those great reviews coming!
It's great to hear and know about the niche fragrances but they are not so easy to get either they are more pricey or they are just not easy to find. I would prefer more designers clearly because it's always better to learn about fragrances you ultimately can access
✴️Watch Designer Summer Fragrances Video here: th-cam.com/video/JnUdFWlmAFA/w-d-xo.html ✴️
Mfk aqua universali is too feminine, way to much,
Combo please
Niche all Day, If I may respectfully suggest
All hail sebastian, king of niche!
So grateful that you brought out summer fragrance for 2020, can also catogrise them work place and weekend please
I prefer niche, designer fragrances are generally more accessible to test but a combo of both may benefit your page in my opinion
I prefer niche. But, with your reviews, I've found a few designer fragrances i wouldn't have tried. So both.
I like the balanced mix of niche and designers. In other words, keep your current format please!
Prefer niche, but overlooked, unique designers are great, too.
^THIS.
Niche, designer, cheapies, I want it all. I'm finding I really enjoy the vocabulary of fragrance. I love what fragrance invokes and appreciate your laid back, conversation fragrance stories. This is an education for me so I like it all.
Niche is your Comfortzone and speciality......More Niche for sure!!
I like to see designer and niche together. I would much rather know about "good" rather than "good for a designer," so seeing them together is really cool.
I love a combination of both, plus the odd balls.
I’m a huge fan of your content, so as consumer of your content, I take what I want, and discard what I don’t like. Keep up the good work.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥list .. I would like to watch a combo of the bests than both groups ( Niche / Designers)
You have a great format! However, to answer your question I prefer niche. I would say a ratio of 75% niche / 25% designer would be great.
Combination of both! I value your opinion and like to hear your thoughts on designers that others often cover. I also like how you bring in oddball brands not many talk about! I tried Kiehl’s Original Musk and Ineke Idyllwild because of you and they both blew my mind 🤩
You’re my go-to reviewer for niche brands. A lot of the reviewers are already doing designers (Jeremy, Gent Scents...) and your collab with Dana and other guests are really informative and entertaining.
That being said, throwing in some designers and cheapies will also give us comparisons with the niche fragrances you review. Not all of us have access or have the resources to afford niche perfumes so I think a well-rounded approach works best to inform collectors and casual viewers.
Niche 85 % and 15 % designer would be good. Love your fragrances collection
Combo of both niche and designer no need to change anything. This channel is awesome
More Niche, one reason why I watch your videos is the fact that you show and review niche brands that not many people have heard of. Most Designers smell very generic, synthetic and cheap.
Both. But I appreciate the Niche reviews. I am eyeing up Saguara Perfumes and can't find reviews anywhere. I live in the US Southwest so alot of the notes are appealing to me and feel more natural. So appreciate that you bring designer brands as well as brands I might not hear of otherwise.
I prefer a non-discriminatory approach when it comes to fragrance. That being said, niche tends to be more interesting & innovative. At the end of the day if it's good (niche or not) it's worth talking about :)
Please master, only NICHE FRAGANCES!!! Amazing review 👏

I love to see the niche but I can't really follow up on any of the recommendations given the state of economy :(
I prefer niche. You have the greatest finds, and describe them in a way that comes alive.
Niche! As long as they are worth buying! And I love to wear things nobody else wears.
I’d say continue both however leaning niche as they are less accessible and the review helps decide if we’re going to look for the scent
I would prefer niche because youtube is full of designers. I usually appreciate your contenct because I can descover new, unique fragrances through it.
I prefer niche only. I look at it this way, Sebastian: If I want to try any of the majority of designer fragrances, I can get online samples or just go to my nearest Macy's (which is readily accessible when coronavirus isn't). I simply find niche fragrances to be not only better, but infinitely so.
What's your fav summer and your fav winter niche

I have really enjoyed ur recommendations. Best fragrance review on TH-cam in my opinion. Straight talking and good description without compromises!
I prefer designer because in my country is hard to find niche, but I like the combo to know about perfumes around the world including niche. Thanks!
The way you do it right now is the perfect balance in my opinion.
I enjoy the channel as is discussing designer, luxury and niche fragrances. Since the weather has started to warm up I’ve been reaching for my 10 ml decant of Afternoon Swim, Louis Vuitton and also my bottle of Rive D’Ambre,Tom Ford.

I prefer niche reviews. Thank you Sabastian... love all your reviews ♥️
I used to love your designer videos, but since then I've definitely moved on to niche, all part of the journey
Designers and niche combo plus indie and even celebrity ones...odd balls are true gems 👌
I like knowing about any frags so I know what to look for - good or bad. I wouldn't say I prefer niche or designer, although as someone on a somewhat tight budget I would say I like to learn about budget frags.
Another vote for combination for both. Although if I have to pick, then probably niche, as designers are easy for me to test for myself as they are much more readily available.
I like how many varieties you show and not what everybody knows.
I always appreciate your balance of niche and designer fragrances. A lot of niche are too pricey for my budget, but I like learning about them for when I am able to splurge. I think you have a nice balance.
I like a combo of both Sebastian, your channel is very informative, keep up the great work your doing amigo..
More Niche 👌🏻. I do like the more expensive designer offerings too.
I enjoy a combination of both. I’ve learned so much from you. I thank you for expanding my knowledge.
Niche for sure. Can I ask for a video introducing 10-20 summer fragrance for women, in which you can based on the most popular designer fragrances and recommend a niche comparing to each designer, which have a more complex, better scent and performance?
You always bring the best from each genre including indies & I simply love your eclectic style .
Combo is best. Including cheapies. You don't need the side kicks IMHO. I love when you visit the house's boutiques. Impressive.
How nice of you to ask! I like a combination of designer and niche, since there are fragrances in both categories that I really love. I enjoy the videos on houses with a confusing number of perfumes - Serge Lutens, for instance - and LOVE the super-geeky ones you do with that very funny, very smart woman with the adorable accent.
A combo of both niche and designer. Fragrances are fragrances. Not many you can choose from designers of course but still. :) Nice video Sebastian.
I recently tried bergamote 22 because I’m such a huge another 13 fan but because of the vetiver base note I truly couldn’t stand it 😔 I would have loved it if it wasn’t for the vetiver. Not the first time I’ve disliked vetiver, it reminds me of wet grass. What a shame!! The citrus in it is amazing.
Sebastian, I’m glad your mentioning bergamote 22, I’ve smelled a bunch of citrus scents and I consider this one the standard I measure all of em too.
Love Nio?
I'd say just keep doing what you're doing. Prefer the neich Reviews more, but have a very similar nose to your preferences, so I live the designers and cheapies from you as well, as those are more accessible to me and I feel idlikethem if you like them. Great work as usual good Sir!
One thing that I love about your collection is that you actually use them, they are not full like in most of TH-camrs videos :D
Definitely more niche. Don’t really wear many designers. Great video as always.
I prefer the combo, im begining with niche and i'm More interested to know about them but all fragances are great. Greetings from México your videos are great.
I grew up Christian Orthodox too so I am going to try FM one for sure.😀
I honestly don’t know. Out of all of my fragrances 80% are designer because I just recently got into niche scents and the only three I have are Creed Silver Mountain Water, Virgin Island Water, and Parfums De Marly Layton but I rather use those three any day. Not that I don’t love designer fragrances but those three niche (specially Silver Mountain Water) have something that’s just intoxicating. I think by now no doubt Creed SMW is my signature scent.😍😎👌🏽💯
I prefer focus on niche and occasional topics on designers. Thank you for all your videos:)))
Both niche and designer(high end) are really exciting to me. Bought three of you designer options, so it’s working😍.
Thanks for the reviews! I always watch them because I have the more or less the same taste and I always have something to learn. I prefer a combo of both since I buy both categories plus the affordable/cheaper ones.
Keep it as it is! Don’t change what is already perfect. Combo!
I prefer the broad range of fragrances you cover. Bergamotto de Calabria is fabulous, one of my current faves!
Even now social distancing at home I´m wearing these, will keep rotating most of these throughout the Summer I think, maybe adding Azzaro Chrome Aqua and Mugler Fly Away if I get them by then:
Mugler Cologne
Terre De Hermes EDT
Fougere Royale
Encre Noire Sport, also normal Encre Noire some days actually
Guerlain Vetiver
Zara Vibrant Leather EDP + Armaf Club de Nuit Intense (killer Aventus clone combo)
Banana Republic 78 Vintage Green
Nautica Voyage
I got Banana republic vintage green, blind buy from your reviews, thanks Sebastian, I really enjoy it.
Here is an little opinion from Taiwan, I love your niche brands reviews.
I love the combination of both.... niche and designer
Great vid. I like a combo of both designers and niche
Niche! And maybe luxury designer? I’m always interested in what Tom Ford is up to but I love niche perfume houses because I don’t want to smell like everyone else. Would love for you to do some reviews on D.S & Durga!

I personally would like to watch odd and unknown fragrances ,combo designer and niche.
Big thumbs up 👍🏻
It is great to have some of both. Especially when you are posting so often! Thank you.
Hello sébastian . I am french living in the french west indies. I love your reviews, your style and taste. I like ear you talking about niche but designer fragrances also ( even if i prefer niche). What i would like, is to have more informations about women fragrances.

Your current format works great! A mixture of niche and designer and anything else you have. 🙏 thanks for always being so informative.
Combination of both! But more leaning towards niche!
A combo of niche and designer is perfect for me.
Niche and your doing a great job of focusing on niche
I like the balance you present already. I learn so much by watching your channel. Thank You! I don't have a lot of summer niche yet (Creed Virgin Island Water is about it).

I think you've got the perfect balance of niche and designer frag discussions going on at the moment👌
Great list
You are a treasure. You have an encyclopedic knowledge. Excellent job.
Combination of both and perhaps some more unisex and feminine leaning fragrances. Love your less expensive alternatives as well.
Ellen McGeady I agree. I love the niche myself, but a little more unisex, leaning feminine, would be fantastic. His nose is the one I trust! I’ve purchased over 4 new fragrances because of him.😊
@@Faithb73 I do tool
Excellent list! Because of the elevated prices of niche fragrances please continue to do both. Thank you!
I think it’s the vetiver in Nio that’s reminding you of classic citruses. I love Nio!
I do not own any celebrity fragrances, I own high end designers and niche. The reason is, I like when fragrance is developing in different stages, I am with it all day, and I enjoy long lasting, evolving perfumes.

they are both great, its awesome to see niche and if there are any cheaper designer alternatives
The way you do it Sebastian (a bit more on the niche side) is great,
It's great to hear and know about the niche fragrances but they are not so easy to get either they are more pricey or they are just not easy to find. I would prefer more designers clearly because it's always better to learn about fragrances you ultimately can access
