It is a truth universally acknowledged that parties these days smell like ‘Baccarat Rouge<\/a>‘. Even children\u2019s parties. Even kimchi-making parties (more of these please.) \u201cHey!\u201d We hear you cry. \u201cEveryone loves ‘Baccarat Rouge!’\u201d. Yes, we know. But that\u2019s the problem. How can your ex be expected to think of you and you alone whenever they catch a whiff of it in public?<\/p>\n

What we choose to wear on our skin says so much about us to the outside world. As Patrick S\u00fcskind writes in Perfume: The Story of A Murder,<\/em> \u201cOdours have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will. The persuasive power of an odour cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. There is no remedy for it.\u201d Why not choose a perfume as unique as you are? With this in mind, we\u2019ve compiled a list of the best niche perfumes you might never have heard of.<\/p>\n

We apologise in advance for all the people chasing after you to ask what they are.<\/p>\n

Tub\u00e9reuse Astrale – Maison Crivelli<\/h3>\n
\"Maison
MAISON CRIVELLI, TUB\u00c9REUSE ASTRALE, DHS980, SHOP NOW<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A raucous yet intricate scent that offsets a bubblegummy sweetness of tuberose with a dose of leather, wood and spice. This thoroughly modern take on the white floral will last on your skin all day and all night, and is one of the best niche perfumes money can buy.<\/p>\n

Experimentum Crucis –<\/strong>Etat Libre D\u2019Orange<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Etat
ETAT LIBRE D’ORANGE, EXPERIMENTUM CRUCIS, DHS850, SHOP NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This beautiful scent opens with fresh apple and lychee and then unfurls into a honeyed rose, weighted down by patchouli and cumin. A thoroughly modern and niche perfume that celebrates rose. We can\u2019t get enough of it.<\/p>\n

fallintostars – strangelove<\/h3>\n

This unabashed oud bomb, sweetened with honey and vanilla and spiced with pink peppercorns, is mesmerising and masterfully blended. A smouldering sexpot of a fragrance. It\u2019s expensive, sure, but it\u2019s the best oud<\/a> we\u2019ve ever smelt.<\/p>\n

ABU DHABI – GALLIVANT<\/h3>\n
\"gallivant
GALLIVANT, ABU DHABI, DHS711, SHOP NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Somehow both dry and fresh, this woody scent is peppery, and herbal \u2013 a modern unisex fragrance that evokes hot sand in a desert breeze. It\u2019ll grow on you every time you smell it, and – lets be honest – it just has to sit pride of place on the shelf of any desert dweller.<\/p>\n

Poets of Berlin – Vilhelm Parfumerie<\/h3>\n
\"Poets
VILHELM PARFUMERIE, POETS OF BERLIN, DHS1,019, SHOP NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This creamy-sweet gourmand, where blueberry and vanilla<\/a> are matured by sandalwood and vetiver, is so much more than girlish whimsy. In a nutshell, it’s a sweet fragrance for people who don\u2019t like sweet fragrances.<\/p>\n

Encens Suave – Matiere Premiere<\/h3>\n
\"MATIERE
MATIERE PREMIERE, ENCENS SUAVE, DHS950, SHOP NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Like a quiet moment in a cathedral as the light of day starts to fade \u2013 this church-inspired fragrance is sweet, spicy and smoky. Notes of incense and frankincense are given a buttery touch with labdanum, and just a touch of candyfloss adds a hint of sweetness. It\u2019s sophisticated-sexy and lasts all night long.<\/p>\n

STEAMED RAINBOW – D.S. & Durga<\/h3>\n
\"d.s.
D.S. & DURGA, STEAMED RAINBOW, DHS785, SHOP NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last, but by no means least on our best niche perfumes list, is this earthy, green scent. Brightened with citrus, it recalls thunderclouds and petrichor. It brings together ingredients of every colour in the rainbow (violet, red mandarin, orange and indigo grass included) and will have you humming “Somewhere, over the rainbow” with each spritz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42699,"featured_media":49832,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[47,35],"yoast_head":"\nNiche Perfumes: The Best Scents To Stand Out From The Crowd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"After a signature scent guaranteed to turn heads and not leave you smelling like everyone else?
