Top 5 Niche Perfume Brands

Niche perfumes brands are independent, smaller brands that create quality potent fragrances that are long-lasting and unique. I have been exploring lots of niche fragrances in the last few years, and I am leaning towards these type of perfumes over the regular designer scents. Great perfumes leave a lasting impression, they smell amazing, project really well and stay on for hours.

If you are interested in exploring great niche fragrances, here are my top 5 niche perfume brands to check out –

Parfums De Marly

Parfums De Marly is definitely one of my favourite niche perfume brands. It was launched in 2009 by founder Julien Sprecher. I have tried many of their fragrances and my favourites from the brand are currently Valaya, Delina, Valaya Exclusif, Meliora and Delina Exclusif. This is a niche brand to explore if you are lo0king for quality French fragrances that smell great and last all day. This luxury fragrance brand has a scent for every man or woman.

Xerjoff

This is an italian luxury perfume brand launched in 2003 by Sergio Momo, and their fragrances are so amazing. I am a huge fan of Xerjoff Erba Pura, which is one of the brand’s popular perfumes. Xerjoff perfumes stand out from the rest, they are very distinctive, have great projection and quite long-lasting. If you are into quality strong perfumes that will linger all day, you should explore Xerjoff niche perfumes.

Creed

Creed is an Anglo-French niche fragrance brand, known for luxurious scents. I have tried Creed Aventus and Creed Eladaria and they are so good. There are many more Creed scents I am looking to discover and I can’t wait to sniff them all. When it comes to quality fragrances that  feel and smell luxurious, look no further, Creed is the brand to shop.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

This luxurious French niche fragrance brand is another favourite of mine. I fell in love with Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfumes some years ago. It is one of those perfume brands you need to explore for yourself. My favourite scent from the brand is currently Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity – Silver. It is one of the few unisex fragances I love. I usually like very feminine scents, but Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity – Silver is such a delicate fragrance.

Escentric Molecules

If you into cleaner scents, Escentric Molecules is the brand to check out. I discovered this amazing brand some years ago and I am so in love. For those who have never heard of this brand, Escentric Molecules was launched in London in 2006 by Geza Schoen, and the brand is famous for the minimalist approach of using just a single aroma molecules or a molecule blended with other notes. These perfumes react uniquely to individual skin chemistry, so it smells differently on everyone, which makes it even more special. Some of my favourites from the brand are Molecules 01 and Escentric 01.

Perfume Review – Parfums de Marly Valaya

Valaya by Parfums de Marly is one of my current favourite perfumes. It is a floral musky-woody fragrance and it smells divine! I have tried many perfums from the brand and this is definitely my favourite from the feminine collection. I am yet to try out the new Valaya Exclusif, but I am sure it is also a lovely fragrance.

Parfums de Marly Valaya Eau de Parfum was created by Julien Sprecher. Top notes are Bergamot, Mandarin and White Peach. Heart notes are Orange Flower, Nympheal and Vetiver. Base notes are Akigalawood, Ambrofix and Musk.

Fragrance Description

A radiant aura and yet, an impalpable softness. This elegant floral-musky-woody fragrance created by Julien Sprecher is a unique play on codes, materials and subtle contrasts. An evocation of the skin caressed by a veil of cotton.

PROS
  1. If you like your perfumes long lasting, this is the one you would. Valaya stands on for the whole day and more. It even stays on after a wash. I love long-lasting perfumes, and Valaya performs so brillantly.
  2. I love the fresh clean fragrance. It reminds me of clean sheets! Love it so much.
  3. The packaging is on point, a beauty to behold.
  4. A little sprays go a long way as it is so long lasting. So I would definitely have this bottle in my collection for a while and I can already see myself repurchasing once I run out!
  5. I love the projection with Valaya. If you are looking to make a statement, you would want to wear this perfume.
CONS

None.

Overall, Valaya by Parfums de Marly is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a fresh, clean, long-lasting fragrance. I rate it a 10/10, and I am so keen to try out the new Valaya Exclusif fragrance by Parfums de Marly. I have heard so many great things about the perfume already and I am sure it would complement the orginal Valaya nicely.
