Niche perfumes are trending at the moment, and you’ve probably seen the term used by your favourite beauty stores across your social feeds. However, it’s not always easy to define exactly what a “niche” perfume is. Read on to learn what makes something niche, and the brands you need to know about.
So, What is Niche?
Niche refers to something that appeals to a specific small group of people. The perfume industry has embraced the word "niche" for several years now, making it a popular buzzword to describe specialized perfumers offering something new and different.
Then, Why Go Niche?
The vast amount of perfumes and brands available makes choosing the perfect scent incredibly challenging. Classic perfumes from well-known designer brands will always have a place in our collection, but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore the world of niche scent too. Here’s some top niche brands to try:
1. Parfums de Marly:
In 2009, renowned perfume expert and creator of Les Parfums de Marly, Julien Sprecher, used his knowledge of notes to create powerful, unique perfumes. The company started with a unisex collection and around two years later had expanded to include thirty different scents. Most of them are men's perfumes, but the bestseller is a women's perfume called Delina.
We recommend trying these:
2. Thameen:
Thameen, means "precious" in Arabic. This British fragrance house is known for its luxury and niche products. The company's founder, Basel bin Jabr, is from the Middle Eastern region, and these fragrances reflect his passion for oriental scents.
The ingredients used in Thameen's perfumes are some of the most sought-after in the industry, such as Taif rose from the desert oasis and Haiti's vetiver.

3. Kilian:
Kilian is the grandson of a long line of luxury cognac producers. He decided to take on the challenge of creating a new brand.
His family's home was in the heart of Cognac, and he studied at CELSA. Before he left, he wrote a thesis about the semantics of scent to find a language that would easily describe scents.
Today, many of Kilian's fragrances are inspired by childhood memories of his grandfather.
