Opinions Wanted: Your Go-To Niche Fragrances

[KatieBT]

I hear a lot of chatter in the community about various fragrance brands and formats. It seems that niche fragrances are becoming a hot topic and I'm loving all the brands I learn about from you all! 

We want to celebrate these smaller brands that are truly unique and give you that artisanal, fancy feeling or that sassy, Friday night feeling 😉 

What is your favorite "niche" fragrance brand at Sephora? What about your favorite scent? Don't forget to tell us why!

Nest Black Tulip!  Great balance of floral, warm and sweet - it hits all the right notes for me.

I stockpile the minis like a squirrel prepping for winter every time there's a 100pt reward.  I have easily a full size bottle's worth of mini rollerballs!

Of the perfumes Sephora carries, I like Commodity Gold and Book. 

Of the ones not found here, I like Le Labo Rose 31, Byredo Blanche, and Roads Cloud 9 and Neon.

Glad to see someone who also appreciates Le Labo and Byredo. Personally I loves Byredo Blanche, for the house of Le Labo, I am more toward the Another 13 and The NOir 29, regardless, its all really good.

For commodity, I really like their Book because it kind of reminds of the Santal 33 of Le Labo. After all, if theres something similar, paying for 205+tax with Le Labo is just a bit to much

My favorite fragrance ever is amazing grace. I’ve been wearing it for 15 years and get compliments every day. I first discovered it at Sephora and have been hooked ever since.

[howconnie]

This is one of my favorites too.

@GQisland  I know how you feel! Everytime I wear Amazing Grace or Pure Grace, I always get compliments!! Amazing Grace and L'occitane Lemon Verbena are my go to fragrances. Amazing Grace because it's so clean smelling and Lemon Verbena, also for the fresh, clean scent. They were the only 2  I ever found that didn't bother mine and hubby's allergies!!

[GQisland]

Omg @yankeefaithful I love lemon verbena too and I also have the same problem with my allergies. I could never really wear perfume comfortably, until I discovered philosophy.

Hi @GQisland

I recently redeemed my points for a selection of Amazing Grace products and thought they smelled lovely too! They smell fresh and clean with just the right amount of floral. Have you tried the candle?

[GQisland]

Yes, I just live how fresh and clean their scents are. I never tried the candle, but I’ve been wanting to for a long time and I’ll probably buy one this week lol...when I do, I will let you know for sure how it smells and whether it lasts😁

EDIT:  I also really like Annick Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien.  It's a very light citrus/herbal scent with a touch of powder.  The brand has many more fragrances I'd like to try.

As a bonus, their bottles are beautiful!

@KatieBT  Without a doubt my favorite Sephora niche fragrance is Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume.  It has such a soft, cozy scent that lasts a long time.  It gives me the same kind of feeling I get when I slip into my bed that has fluffy, clean flannel sheets on it.  It's very relaxing.

@KatieBT - My favorite niche fragrances I've tried that Sephora carries are Clean Reserve Skin, Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace, Jo Malone Wild Bluebell, Wood Sage & Sea Salt, and Blackberry & Bay.  I thought Commodity Velvet was unique for them, and I do like Moss.  I just find that they don't smell the best on me.  I tried Pinrose's scents, but none of them grabbed me, but I do need to try fragrances from Juliette Has a Gun, which I haven't delved into yet.

My favorites that Sephora doesn't carry are Diptyque Philosykos (summer signature) and Eau Duelle.   Also, Byredo Gypsy Water.  

[blackkitty2014]

You know what funny about Byredo @modernwarpaint.  I didnt like either Gypsy Water or Mojave Ghost at first.  Now that i tried Gypsy Water, Mojave Ghost and Diptyque Eau Duelle again, i think i like Gypsy Water the most.  If the price is right (aka sale), i might get myself a bottle of Gypsy Water.

[Tamara76]

At Sephora, my favorite niche fragrances are either Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk or Lipstick On or Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey. ❤️

My all time favorite niche fragrance is Byredo Mojave Ghost.  I really wish Sephora would carry this brand. ❤️
