It seems that nothing fits and everything has already happened, everything is not right. What to do? It is difficult, almost impossible to give up perfume... Maybe it's time to move into a new category and pay attention to a special niche perfumery.

If you are not afraid to stand out from the crowd, then you should like these fragrances. They are special, bright, memorable, persistent ... and expensive.

perfume classification

Selective spirits? What it is? What distinguishes them from the rest of the fragrant variety presented on store shelves?

All fragrances can be conditionally represented as a pyramid: at the foot there is a mass market. These are fairly inexpensive weakly resistant toilet waters.

Above is the prestige class perfume ("Boss", "Lacoste"), above it - luxury ("Dolce", "Gucci", "Chanel"). Large-scale advertising campaigns are carried out to draw attention to new products and bestsellers. Fragrances are becoming popular and easily recognizable. If the campaign is successful, then almost every second will be fragrant with the novelty of the season.

At the very top of the pyramid is niche or selective perfumery.

Selective perfumery: features

First of all, these are unique flavors. For the manufacture of perfumes are used only natural ingredients, without replacement by synthetic counterparts. This partly explains their cost. The smell of horse sweat, burnt rubber or burning asphalt coexists peacefully with the aromas of rose and lily of the valley in one bottle, creating an incredible composition.

The persistence of niche perfumes is amazing. By applying a little on the wrist, you can go with the aroma for up to two days, while it will open up with different notes.

Eau de toilette packaging, as a rule, is quite modest and does not seek to attract attention, because the main treasure is inside the bottle. Although there are exceptions, and then the bottles look like a real work of art.

Almost all niche perfumery fragrances are universal: they rarely have a division into women's selective perfumes and men's. But you should not be biased towards them because of this: on the female and male skin perfume will sound completely different.

Perhaps the most interesting feature, revealing (what it is explaining), - the exclusivity of the sound of the fragrance. Perfume plays different notes on each person, so there is very little chance of meeting someone who smells like you.

The best selective perfumes: brands

If you want to get to know a niche, start with well-known fragrances that are easy to find on sale.

Escentric Molecules

Perhaps, these are the most affordable selective perfumes in terms of price and purchase. What it is, you can understand only by trying them on yourself. The famous compositions “Molecule 01” and “Molecule 02” that made a splash a few years ago are best known to the consumer. This is the first and only perfume in the world that does not have a specific scent and is applied only to the skin during testing. The perfume adapts to its future owner, revealing itself individually, guaranteeing 100% exclusivity.

"Tom Ford"

The second most popular women's selective perfume - "Black Orchid" from American brand Tom Ford. Few have heard of them. There are many opinions and rumors about the fragrance, so it is better to try it on yourself once to understand what it represents. But you will not remain indifferent: either love or dislike.

In addition to the provocative and fatal "Black Orchid" fashion house releases other fragrances. The Private Blend line is very interesting, and musk lovers will appreciate the Musk Collection.

Montale

A luxury that you can afford - selective perfumes from Pierre Montel. Aromas complex, beautiful, plume, with its own zest. A nice bonus is a large selection: both sweet and floral, and with the aroma of coffee and chocolate. Very strong and memorable scents. These selective perfumes are the most enthusiastic reviews from buyers: the fragrance lasts up to two days, on clothes even longer, it doesn’t get boring, it opens up gradually and very beautifully. Delicate floral arrangements are especially mesmerizing.

C&R Create

If you are looking for something more individual and unique, then pay attention to this brand. Perfume for each zodiac sign? Why not! Having studied the treatises of the oriental sages, the founders of the fashion house launched two lines of fragrances: "For Her" and "For Him". According to the masters, such a personal perfume will become an excellent talisman and will allow you to realize hidden opportunities.

Comme des garsons

Hot asphalt and sea water, rare spices and burnt rubber, the smell of aluminum welding and fresh bamboo, incense and burnt toast... Is this a selective perfume? What it is? A combination of the incongruous, synthetics and naturalness, the quintessence of taste and walking on the edge. Perfumes from Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo amaze and conquer with their individuality and outrageousness. These are fragrances for those who are not afraid to be the center of attention, for real perfume lovers.

amouage

Perfumes "Amuage" - a real luxury in the literal and figurative sense. Perfumes are very expensive, but this is due handmade, rare ingredients and the highest quality. Used in fragrances natural oils and extracts. Myrrh, rocky rose and silver incense, mined in Oman, add a special chic to the perfume.

This selective perfume is the choice of many celebrities and royalty.

Where to buy

You can buy an unusual perfume in any major metropolis. For example, selective perfumes in Moscow are presented in perfumery stores such as Ile de Beauté and Rive Gauche. When ordering in online stores, seduced by a low cost, there is a risk of getting a fake. However, if you really want to, but there is no way to immediately purchase a whole bottle of the fragrance you like, you can go the other way and try the castings. This is the name of small bottles of 5-10 ml, into which perfumes are poured by the owners, after which they are sold to those who wish.

Not always perfume and toilet water sold in cosmetics stores, such as RIVE GAUCHE, Podruzhka or L'Etoile, are liked by female representatives. Often, certain notes are missing: subtle ylang-ylang, juicy mandarin or barely perceptible bergamot. Especially in order to give fragrances new colors, a niche or selective perfume industry was created. She's definitely worth checking out!

Selective perfumery is an entire industry producing fragrances in small runs of 400-500 products. Such batches are not delivered to all cosmetics stores at all.

The peculiarity of this perfumery is that it combines a variety of notes of aromas, the number of which is increased several times compared to cheaper counterparts. For example, in one bottle, both notes of sparkling champagne and notes of a peaceful orchid can be combined.

It is amazing that there are no such world famous brands as Dior, Chanel, Lancome, Estee Lauder, Carolina Herrera and others. A logical question arises: "Why?". The answer is simple: Dior gave rise to niche perfumery in the 80s of the XX century, but the circulation of luxury cosmetics companies averages 4000-5000 copies, while selective perfumery manufacturers stick to the figure of 400.

Nevertheless, it is the cult fragrance Dior Poison that is the founder of the niche perfume industry.

A feminine floral chypre with a flawlessly balanced formula. Its owner is a perfect woman, she is admired no matter what century it is, 19th or 21st. You might even think that this is not a niche fragrance from 2009, but an exquisite vintage from the seventies. In the center of a deliberately old-fashioned chypre composition, a magnificent rose exudes a honey aroma with slightly indole undertones. Lumiere Noir will perfectly fit into a classic look. But you can try to wear it with ripped jeans- to play in contrast.

Notes: narcissus, rose, patchouli, cumin, chili pepper.

5. De Bachmakov by The Different Company. Fresh and about Russia

The unisex fragrance was released in 2010. Celine Ellena, then perfumer of The Different Company, dedicated the composition to designer Thierry de Bashmakoff. And Russia - the country with which the roots of the famous creator of perfume bottles are connected. There is no "cranberry" in this dry and thin woody wine glass, do not be alarmed. Perfume is associated with spring in Siberia. When taiga forbs break through the stale snow from the still not warmed up earth. Charming fresh aroma with naturalistic natural notes. It is interesting that blackcurrant is not declared in the composition, but at least kill it - you can hear it!

Top notes: coriander, fig, bergamot. Heart: shiso, nutmeg, freesia. Base notes: amber and white cedar.

6. Wonderoud Comme des Garcons. Soft oud

Oud may well claim to be the fragrance ingredient of the decade. But many do not like compositions with a pronounced oud, calling them medical and harsh. Even the most prejudiced person will not find anything medical in Wonderoud Comme des Garcons. Oud is soft, almost velvety in this dry, elegant, masterful selective fragrance for men and women. Some creaminess of the composition is given by sandalwood with pashminol. An excellent example of not only oud, but also woody niche perfumes in general.

Notes: oud, Texas cedar, Indonesian patchouli, sandalwood, Haitian vetiver, guaiac wood, pashminol.

7. Bergamote Soleil by Atelier Cologne. exemplary cologne

If you don't associate the word "cologne" with high perfumery, it's time to reconsider your views - they are fundamentally wrong. "Sunny Bergamot" will be an excellent assistant in reassessment of values. This new unisex citrus fougere (released in 2016) is an exemplary niche cologne: elegant, dryish, with a well-balanced composition. And one more plus: citruses sound very naturalistic in it, without slipping into banality.

Top notes: Calabrian bergamot, ambrette, bitter orange. Heart: lavender, Egyptian jasmine cardamom. Base notes: oakmoss, white amber, haitian vetiver.
