10 Reviews: Best Niche Fragrances for Winter (Apr 2024)

Juliette Has a Gun is a niche perfume brand that has gathered many fans and was won a special distinction by The Fragrance Foundation of France in 2011. It was founded by Romano Ricci, Nina Ricci’s grandson, in 2006. Juliette Has a Gun just released Vanilla Vibes. It used sea salt to compliment the sweetness in Juliette Has A Gun Vanilla Vibes. But, it isn’t just vanilla; it has a mineral element to it that sets it apart from the rest of the scents.

I use this once a day and it last all day long. It's powerful enough to last all day, yet it's not an overwhelming smell. It's a very natural smell, almost like you're great out of the shower, just put some nice moisturizer on and maybe walked on the beach scent.

Montale is a relatively new brand, founded in 2008 by Pierre Montale. One of the most talked-about is Montale Chocolate Greedy. because it has such a wonderful scent of Chocolate cake in the shape of a liquid. You assume you’ve eaten the entire thing since it’s so rich, yet you don’t feel stomach pain. Montale Chocolate Greedy opens with a rich vanilla base and a bitter orange note, which is counterbalanced by the aroma of chocolate from cacao poured over a sweet berry cocktail. Montale Chocolate Greedy is delectable, tasty, and lovely. It’s warm, cozy, and will appeal to both men and women, particularly during the winter months.

This perfume is definitely one for chocolate lovers ? Smells ? like chocolate but a sophisticated kind of it. Not childish. Powdery? It does die down real quiet but does last all day you just stop noticing your scent ? One of my fave's & of course Montale is expensive?

 Back to Black polishes heady blond tobacco with a burnished honeyed vanilla finish, created by renowned perfumer Calice Becker. The aroma shifts from smokey tobacco to juicy cherry, then to woody with a hint of amber warmth. Back to Black is a terrific perfume for ladies and men who wish to stand out in a crowd. It’s addictive and unique. It’s best worn in the evening or when you want to make a statement.

Such a special and unique fragrance. Unlike anything else. The best thing I have ever smelled

Amouage Portrayal Woman is a niche perfume that was developed in 2019 and is a perfect example of the outstanding quality that has become associated with the Omani House of Amouage. This is a versatile and sophisticated scent with just a few elements. Green leaf, orange flower, and tuberose melt into creamy jasmine for a rich and feminine scent. The smokiness of rich tobacco dampens the floralcy. Luxurious, gorgeous, and light are enough to wear throughout the day.

This sumptuous and brilliant scent has a little fascinating impact on the skin, similar to the impression fine crystal has on the eyes. With a blast of blood orange and jasmine in the initial notes, the scent swiftly settles into amber and gently spicy golden saffron in the heart notes, leaving a bright radiance on the skin. Baccarat Rouge 540 is a unisex piece that both men and women may wear.

I would surely recommend to a Friend. Long lasting scent, not watered down at all. Kinda expensive, however you get what you pay for. I love it, definitely 5 plus stars:)

Some niche perfumes gain a cult following right away, and Mancera Red Tobacco seems to be one among them. The scent is categorized as Oud. The extremely rich, intense tobacco note, which is surrounded by a cloud of spicy amber, takes center stage, with Oud playing a supporting role. Mancera Red Tobacco defies categorization and exists in its own category. Crisp green apple, juicy pear, jasmine, Madagascar vanilla, and white musk are among the fragrance components.

Nasomatto Black Afgano is a powerful fragrance with a wonderful winter aroma. This scent has a green opening with an intriguing cannabis undertone. Later on, tobacco and coffee, as well as some woody elements, are added to this perfume. This results in an intriguing aroma with a masculine undertone. The fragrance’s dry down is virtually the same, but there is a delicate note of oud added. Overall, this fragrance has a fantastic green, spicy flavor to it.

Definitely try it. Specific and unusual scent, will last all day long, this fragrance is rare and most of people don’t know about, so it makes it unique.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood is a stunning winter fragrance from the Maison Francis Kurkdjian label. The perfume of this fragrance begins with a lovely, pleasant, and inviting floral scent. There’s a wonderful rose aroma here, but there are other flowers as well. A gorgeous but delicate oud aroma has been added to this flowery perfume. The oud in this scent is done quite well, since it is not overpowering but yet discernible. A lovely, creamy vanilla flavor emerges as the fragrance dries down. This links the whole scent together, resulting in Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood, a masterpiece.

I love that I sprayed it on my wrist once and it lasted all day even thru handwashing. the scent is like nothing I've used before it's very sweet.

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is a fantastic fragrance that has a wonderful, sweet tobacco flavor. The fragrance begins with a nice, sweet perfume that has a dusty undertone. The idea for this scent was ancient English gentlemen’s clubs, thus the dustiness. Later on, this aroma is joined by a pleasant tobacco scent. This blends in wonderfully with the delicious vanilla aroma that is already there. This fragrance’s dry down gives a lovely hint of dried fruits. This masterpiece is completed by the addition of dried fruits, which contribute to the dusty feel of the aroma.

Very long lasting. The perfect winter fragrance for special occasions. Rare. The price ensures you won't be associated with every other dude.
