What are niche perfumes?
Niche perfumes, also known as ‘artisan fragrances’ are unique, often handcrafted, scents made in small batches. Traditionally, these scents were created by companies specifically dedicated to fragrance, however, the niche perfume category is expanding as designer brands start to release their own unique, limited edition fragrance lines.
So, what to expect when you spritz? Well, prepare for nothing short of a treat to the senses, because niche perfumes are favoured for their expert blend of rich and distinctive notes. Some of these note combinations you might never have smelt before, but that’s all part of the charm of finding a niche perfume that you love! Trust us, it’ll feel like that perfume has been handcrafted just for you.
So, for a beautifully complex olfactory experience, you’ll want to try these unique perfumes out:
Matcha Meditation by Maison Margiela
The REPLICA range from Maison Margiela is a conceptual line of fragrances that ooze nostalgia and happy memories. So, why not carve out a moment of zen with Maison Margiela’s Matcha Meditation? The perfect antidote to a busy workday, it’s inspired by a calming scene. Picture this: sipping a cup of matcha tea, sunlight streaming through the windows, letting your mind drift with a spot of meditation. The result? Fresh, green notes balance on a sweet, warm base of white chocolate and moss, for an unexpected spritz of serenity.
