>Conversely, your definition is completely subjective gatekeeping, and the only purpose it serves is to get into pissing matches on fragrance forums. It's just absurdly useless.
It's also completely redundant. If "niche" means a fragrance that is unique and artistic, just say that. We don't need a new term to further muddy the already convoluted water that constitutes the perfume business.

But the best part is that the gatekeepy definition anon keeps using cannot exist without tacitly acknowledging the other definition is objectively meaningful and necessary. If we're going to define a niche brand as a fragrance house which makes unique and artistic fragrances, why couldn't that term apply to designer fragrances? What if (insert the name of whatever perfumer you think makes artsy and unique fragrances) goes and makes a unique and artsy fragrance for Montblanc or Tommy Bahama or Chanel, or Dior, or Versace, or Gucci, or Guerlain, or Nickelodeon, or Prada, or Nautica, or Dunhill, or English Laundry, or Paco Rabanne. Would those then become niche houses?

The criteria a listed perfectly and objectively describes two different kinds of fragrance houses. These distinctions require names. The names a designer and niche. It's not even really a debate, it's a simple fact. Niche does not mean "whatever fragrance me and my very tasteful and sophisticated peers personally like the most"

>Whether a house is niche or designer says nothing about the quality
we’ve already gone over this multiple times, i don’t know why you feel the need to repeat it again
>or artistry of the house
again, this is just wrong. the first niche fragrances were judged by their art direction, and not because it was superior, but because it took a radically different approach to perfume releases from the mainstream. how is this so hard to get? it’s not all about money dude.
>they will know it is something that can likely be found most places fragrances are sold, have a very broad idea about how much it is likely to cost, and that it's likely made using industry standard ingredients.
and yet the latter 2 statements are patently untrue for even simple “designers” like mainline hermes, chanel and guerlain, who have access to far higher quality raw materials than any niche perfumer and also cost more due to deliberately restricted distribution designed to hamstring discounters. what use is a label like that if it doesnt even apply to a company as simple as chanel?
>If a person is told that a fragrance comes from a niche house, they will know they can expect to pay more for it, that it will be found in fewer retail locations and that it may or may not be crafted using more expensive ingredients.
the final statement is just outright wrong, niche brands have access to lesser quality and lower expensive raws than the big brands that have the power to buy in bulk. that’s not what makes the niche. what makes them niche is their power to curate unique raw ingredients in order to pursue a unique artistic direction that the big houses would never dare to. this is what made serge lutens so bloody rich when he ran shiseido’s perfume business and then split off when they tried to hold him back after nombre noir came out. there is nothing novel about the quality or cost of his materials, only how he used them, and he wasn’t even the perfumer, mind you.

>It is a simple and objective metric which has utility
considering your raw material metric was completely incorrect, no, it’s obviously not as simple or objective as you seem to think.
>Conversely, your definition is completely subjective gatekeeping
>If buy "the current fragrance community" you mean people whose opinions align with yours, you're just doing more gatekeeping
lmfao did you come from reddit or something? whining about gatekeeping because you’re being told that creed and pdm actually use shit raw materials and don’t really have the art direction to count as niche. you sound so whiny.
>If you go basenotes, fragrantica, reddit, facebook, youtube, telegram groups, etc. the vast majority of them are going to call Aventus a niche fragrance
well, they’re wrong. aventus is just a commercial mainstream fragrance released by a prestige brand. if it came out of any number of other designer houses who contract IFF (and specifically JCH), no one would seriously call it a niche fragrance. there is absolutely nothing about creed’s art direction that led to aventus being a perfume that was particularly unique or memorable, it was just a stroke of dumb luck. comparing that to l’artisan parfumeur and serge lutens essentially inventing new genres of perfumery in their heyday because all of them are brands with premium price points is fucking absurd.

>It's also completely redundant. If "niche" means a fragrance that is unique and artistic, just say that. We don't need a new term to further muddy the already convoluted water that constitutes the perfume business.
niche has always referred to a small business with an unusual artistic direction in the perfume industry. the confusion with creed stems from the fact that olivier creed got away with being a “master perfumer” for the better part of 3 decades. the revelation that all his perfumes were really just pierre bourdon rejects should prove that there is really absolutely nothing behind creed’s art direction, if they can be considered to have any at all.
>If we're going to define a niche brand as a fragrance house which makes unique and artistic fragrances, why couldn't that term apply to designer fragrances?
you reek of newfag. just admit you don’t know anything about perfume history and move on.
>What if (insert the name of whatever perfumer you think makes artsy and unique fragrances) goes and makes a unique and artsy fragrance for XYZ
not how it works. you don’t know how perfumer briefs work and how fragrance compounding companies are contracted for jobs. stop talking about things you don’t understand.
>Niche does not mean "whatever fragrance me and my very tasteful and sophisticated peers personally like the most"
again, repeating this stupid assumption that artistic = quality, when it’s already been asserted that le labo and dyptique are both unquestionably niche and also total dogshit. both of you belong together just for how fucking dense you both are, and also for how much you suck each other off. embarrassing.

I'm gonna be honest, I've gone full circle from designer to masstige to genuine niche to vintage and back to designer. I've realized that I appreciate experimental and old-school fragrances, but I don't actually feel comfortable wearing them.

I went from vintage to designer to niche to vintage to niche to designer (because I wanted something mass appealing before traveling) but I just threw away my sauvage I bought before my trip and got a bottle of azemour Les orangers because I realized how trashy the designer mass appealing scents smelled when I kept smelling them on other guys. They’re also really hard to tell apart from one another, so you’re not really leaving an impression anyway. I’d rather smell like niche/vintage even if it’s offensive or just not wear perfume

>niche has always referred to a small business with an unusual artistic direction in the perfume industry.
Nope.
>Niche perfume is an alternative to mass perfume production. Niche is limited by the clientele and therefore with a limited sale range, thus the goal of niche houses is not to sell as much as possible.
>These companies are generally smaller than the major fragrance firms like Coty Inc., Puig, and Firmenich, but bigger than "indie perfume" lines that are generally owned and operated by the perfumer themselves. Especially since the 2010s, however, the distinction has blurred as more and more niche perfume brands have been purchased by a larger parent corporation.
"Unusual artistic direction" is completely subjective and is utterly pointless as a designation. If you want to refer to a fragrance as having some kind of "niche" smell because it's unusual, you are more than welcome to do so, but you're using it in a different way I can just as easily say your favorite uber original niche fragrance smells boring as fuck and could never be called niche by a person with olfactory receptors. And therein lies the entirety of the problem.
>you reek of newfag
I got into fragrances about a decade ago, but again, you default back to gatekeeping. It's your entire personality. It's so fucking cringe.
>not how it works
Yes, yes, you read The Ghost Perfumer a month ago. We are all deeply impressed and our pussies are moistened. But explain exactly why not. If Versace puts out a brief that says "hey, we're going hogwild. Just submit the most original and creative scent of your career, don't worry about cost and we'll see if we like it. Go right the fuck ahead" your entire point falls apart. Will they? Probably not. Doesn't matter
>again, repeating this stupid assumption that artistic = quality

where do you think we are? this isn’t mathematics buddy.
>I can just as easily say your favorite uber original niche fragrance smells boring as fuck and could never be called niche by a person with olfactory receptors
you could, but if we were discussing something like, say, l’artisan’s timbuktu, there is already 2 decades of people who have smelled it and it’s well established to be a landmark of niche perfumery. if you don’t think it smells niche, the problem is you, not everyone else. simple as.
>If Versace puts out a brief that says "hey, we're going hogwild. Just submit the most original and creative scent of your career, don't worry about cost and we'll see if we like it. Go right the fuck ahead"
except they haven’t and won’t ever, so your hypothetical is meaningless. may as well talk about pigs flying.
>Fine, "Niche does not mean whatever fragrance me and my very tasteful and sophisticated peers think is unique"
sorry that you’re so painfully out of touch with the greater perfume community, but it’s never too late to join.
>>>18080905
it’s funny because that wikipedia article literally backs me up by confirming that l’artisan parfumeur was the first real niche brand, and i completely agree that le labo, aedes de venustas, frederic malle and arguably even jo malone count as niche brands. penhaligons is more of a heritage/legacy brand trying to market themselves as niche. only MFK doesn’t count as remotedly related. and regardless, it says nothing about the brands price point, ingredients, or their product lines, it only defines niche as perfume brands with limited distribution and a smaller audience. not contradictory with anything i’ve said.
>>18080916
lol, someone is upset that his shoehorning of wikipedia articles into an existing community’s lexicon isn’t working out the way he wants it to.

>>18080918
Roja isn't niche though. I mean, everyone in fragcom refers to Roja Parfums as a niche house, but I do not respect him and feel his fragrances lack merit, and therefore it is not niche. It isn't designer either

>>18080922
meant for >>18080910
>>18080924
correct, roja isn’t niche because his art direction is essentially just bougie mainstream perfume with a retro spin. he also happens to be a terrible perfumer, but that’s unrelated to whether he’s niche.

>>18080922
>into an existing community’s lexicon
Which community? This general? Because the overwhelming majority of fragcom refers to Roja Parfums, Creed, PdM, all the other brands you get touchy over as niche houses.

>>18080914

>>18080924
Roja sucks, but for normies you could sell Drakkar Noir as niche rebranding it with those "luxurious names".

>>18080922
stop ban evading

speaking of this meaningless and unnecessary shoehorned niche vs designer crap, i just remembered there’s brands like comme des garcons and yohji yamamoto which were at the forefront of niche perfumery 2 decades ago despite technically being owned by clothing designers. this idea that designer = inherently mainstream and therefore not niche is a faulty one to begin with.

All you can think of is shallow appeal to authority shit. You're the living embodiment of the dunning-kruger effect, a bitter elitist who doesn't actually know anything beyond the opinions of one or two tastemakers. Can't trust his own nose, has no real knowledge of perfumery, but still talks shit like a whiny bitch.

There is room for only one tale in perfumery, and it’s Montale.

>>18081034
Is that really the cap on the bottle? It looks like what some amateur carpenter balances on bottle in his garage workshop, to keep his garage whiskey from evaporating.

>>18081048

Can you develop a nose? Or is it like with color receptors in eyes - you just have more or less and will never be able to see some colors

>>18080646
What does this even smell like? Vetiver and leather? Weird combo.

>>18081059
loads of resins too, sharp aromatics and an animalic feel. pretty sure there is just a bit of iris in the Vetiver flanker too. fans of stuff like Antaeus should check it out

>>18081056
It’s a trainable skill in the sense that most people don’t know how to dissect scents even though their noses could do it, but I dunno if we have proper research on how large human differences on base olfactory senses are. If we extrapolate it from how everything else works, it’s pretty safe to assume that Joe Regular can get pretty good if he just cares to put in the effort, then there’s the small portion of people who have naturally blasted ability to smell and then there are some that are naturally better at it. Can’t make your nose better in the purely biological sense, bu you sure as hell can learn to process its output better in your brain.

Also doesn’t make it any easier that anosmia is pretty hard to diagnose unless it gets super bad, and then there are some aromachemicals that different people smell very differently if at all. It’s a much more ”personal” experience than eyesight, and you could be missing something big without even realizing it.

>>18081059

that much is true, but i’m not convinced that it’s any better than the original bel ami to begin with, which makes it a tiny bit of a moot point.

With good luck, I can possibly get my travel size New York Intense sample for the weekend. What to expect?

>>18081187
Listen, fat. If you don't own Aventus, Cedrat Boise, CDNIM, CDNIM edp, CDNIM parfum in the 6 oz bottle, CDNIM limited edition parfum, Montblanc Explorer, L'Aventure, and another smaller bottle of Aventus from a different batch, you are not qualified to say whether or not you even like Aventus, much less whether or not I should buy it

tfw I bought a bottle of 2015 aventus back in 2016. I don't even wear it.

>>18081230
Exactly.

Aventus is definitely worth it for those who enjoy it.

>>18081254
>Buying something you like is good

While it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not. Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on /frag/ don't warrant or deserve my or other /frag/got's' acknowledgement or respect.

>>18081216

>>18081258
I do not recommend wearing deodorant

>>18081187
I never smelled vintage "smoky" Aventus, but this is the only fragrance I've ever smelled in which the "smoky" note straight up smelled like an ash tray. It's fine on skin, but it got on one of my wool jackets last winter and I threw it back in the closet and forgot about it for a few days, then when I went to put the jacket on again it smelled like it had been left in a biker bar for a week. It took me a minute to even piece together that it was the fragrance that caused it

>>18081258

Wait, why did he just call Roja, Creed and Parfums de Marly niche brands?

>>18081733
most of the fragbro youtubecore guys will say those are niche
that's why "niche" is a pretty useless term nowadays, it's basically just a marketing term meaning "expensive" or "luxury"
that's also why arguments on "is X niche??" are completely futile semantics

>Cerruti 1881
Smells like cheap bug spray.

>>18081869
I never get the "bug spray" connotations people seem to have for anything with vetiver or green aromatics

>>18081871
Well, no. Eau Sauvage, Pour Monsieur, or NYI don't smell like bug spray, but Cerruti 1881 does. Cerruti 1881 gets hyped as a very affordable alternative for them even though it smells nothing like them. Those three are much better and higher quality.

>>18081879
Nyi intense smelled like someone ruined a good brewed oakmoss concoction with too much vanilla. I almost got diabetes from it.
Should have kept it fresh and the sweetness only for smelling complete purposes.

>>18081879
If the only criticism you can give for a perfume is "it smells like bug spray" or "it smells synthetic" then you're not qualified to judge the quality of anything. It's a useless subjective statement based on personal connotations and I've genuinely seen people make it about ES and NYI too.
Admittedly 1881 is more similar to Boucheron PH and Eau de Rochas and has very little in common with Pour Monsieur and basically nothing with NYI.

Coty Avatar was unironically released too early for people to appreciate it, it could have been what Aventus became.

>>18082032
no, coty avatar is a fucking cheap piece of shit that is in no way comparable to aventus. for the record, i think aventus sucks ass too, but coty avatar is so fucking terrible it’s actually impressive that fragbro retards smelled pineapple and immediately compared it to aventus.

What fragrances smell similar to the dry down of Aventus?

>>18082058
You are very triggered by race. Wanna share your ethnicity with us?

>>18082066
no thanks, not all of us are interested in self-doxing like you, coomer mutt

>>18082060
Montblanc explorer

>>18082078
Nah, not really. Explorer does a pretty good impression of the zingy fruitiness of Aventus, although less pineappley and more citrusy, but when it dries down, it’s far more woody and lighter. Aventus keeps showing some fruity and smoky notes all the way into the drydown.

>>18080619
I really like the LA inspired scents Louis Vuitton did (California Dream, City of Stars, pretty much that whole line) but they're too pricy for me to cop a bottle. They suit that vibe perfectly though

>>18082091
getting ripped off by LV is part of the experience, much like how pretty much everything in california is a ripoff.

>>18082078
I'm not looking for a clone to be clear. I like the dry down of Aventus, so I'm wondering if there's anything similar to that.

>>18081896
Yeah I agree honestly. I don’t get the hype because all I can smell is vanilla after the citrus top burns off but it may be because I’m in a hot humid climate rn honestly

>>18082122
it’s because your nose is shit, much like the coomer mutt’s.

>>18082122
Nyi is not bad, but another attempt trying to make it modern. Ruining it with overly sweetness.
Jules for example is somewhat similar but they went musky-animalic for the drydown.
>>18082060
Cedrat Boise. I'm so in love with that scent, especially the drydown. Musk-leather-vanilla.

>>18082125
Cool
>>18082130
I like Jules but then you tout Mancera shit

What's a good one without vanilla or too much sweetness? Is Pour Monsieur better?

What's a good fragrance without vanilla or too much sweetness (besides Rogue)? Is Pour Monsieur better?

>>18082219
Guerlain vetiver and eau de vetiver are nice and dry.

>>18082219
Pour Monsieur is a good alternative if you don't like the vanilla sandalwood base in NYI, yeah. The EDT in particular, the others also have that soft touch in the base.
Personally I quite enjoy the richer, sweeter NYI.

>>18080530
Check out "Jorum Studios"

>>18082228
True, Guerlain Vetiver is the best fragrance of all time.

>>18082234
Creamy sandalwood often smells pretty nauseating to me.

Looking for something with oakmoss, vetiver, lemon/citrus, cedar, etc. that isn't too sweet. That sort of oakmoss drydown.

I'm probably going to pull the trigger on this

SOTD: Nothing, because I worked from home today and don't feel like leaving the house.

>>18082246
>he doesn't wear fragrance at home alone

>>18082244
Then yeah Pour Monsieur EDT would be perfect. It's a good chypre on the fresher side.
If you want something stronger in a similar vein, Kaszebsczi Mech is a nice indie take on this kind of fresher chypre

You should ask her what she likes, blind gifting perfume is a recipe for pain and torment

>>18081731
I don't know, I just got done watching it and he seems genuinely angry. He said the fragrance smells generally pleasant but the price is egregiously insulting and the only justified reason for purchasing it would be if you plan on sitting on it for a year or two and then reselling for

Which, honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that I haven't paid attention to Creed in years and didn't realize this existed until last week, I'd have bought five. Easy money, fleecing the stupid.
