I’m newer to the niche world and have purchased Mancera Lemon Mint and BDK Sel D’Argent. Both have been great for me. I’m glad you’ve given some love to Sel D’Argent. It is amazing in the high heat. When on a vacation last week in 100 degree weather and the way it smells on your skin after 40 minutes in the heat is fantastic. I trust your nose over all the others.

Gallagher Fragrances Pearfecto is now my favorite niche/indie summer offering, I got it this spring and it's amazing. Very unique, fruity with banana, driftwood, and ambergris.
@@Artsloverinlr Unfortunately I am not sure, when I ordered Pearfecto I got it from Krystal Fragrances because Gallagher's site was down. I have heard from others in the community though that Daniel is great.
@@Harz77 Parfums De Marly scent. It's a bit heavy, so I don't wear it often or when I'll be outside in the heat. But it works for a summer evening or date night.
Great video and list, Ash! Since you’re too modest to pick a fragrance from Galleria Parfums, I’ll add it to this list for you. By the Yuzu Grove is freakin tremendous. Love that opening Yuzu blast, and the amazing Vetiver note that adheres to it. Love it. 👍
Does Sedley remind you of any other fragrance? I have not gotten to my local Nordstrom to check it out? And With so many different fragrance release with the note of lavender something has to be in-sort of in the same vein. I have 8 from Perfumes de marly right now and they have not yet disappointed me.
Sedley pretty unique imo. Nothing really like it that I’ve experienced. Boss infinite gives me a fleeting Sedley vibe at times(albeit much cheaper). Also Navitus Elation dry down hits me like Sedley here and there but overall they are very different frags. That’s really it.
Renaissance, foconero, chez bond, fiero, and hacivat are my go to niche summer frags. I want to add house of sillage the classic and sedley to the collection.
I love Sel Marin so much. I especially love to layer it with some nutty scents like Confetto by Profumum Roma. Feels like tropical by the ocean but I do need to overspray Sel Marin when I wear it on its own to make it stronger and longer. I’m thinking to get the Acqua Di Sale by Profumum Roma too. I tested it and compared it with Sel Marin. I did love Sel Marin a bit more but now I want to get the ADS for its performance. I’ve been wearing Musk Therapy a lot too in this summer.
The only niche fragrances I own that is Mancera. I love Aoud Lemon Mint, have a lingering crush on Instant Crush. I also have Cedrat Boise, but I'm not yet feeling it. I blame the CDNIM EDP that I have.
@@demoneyeslaharl I got the bottle for £60 which is fine, but compare to club de nuit the performance is awful. I’m now on a hunt for a new scent that has the beast mode I’m expecting. Any recommendations?
@@Harz77 Considering I'm just an informed casual, I honestly don't have a lot of scents, nevermind beast modes. I can tell you my strongest performers i wear is pretty much Armaf CDNIM, Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint and Red Tobacco, and my Mugler Havane. Oh, and Sauvage. Hopefully, you either will learn to like Cedrat, or sell it.
@@demoneyeslaharl I like the cedrat smell just not the performance on me, could be a dodgy batch. I’ll try the lemon mint. And look at the others you recommended. Thanks!
@Bigb performance on Ozone is solid, and I have darker Eastern European skin which I typically have issues with how well frags perform. There is something a little dark in the base, patchouli I believe, which only gives it a bit more depth and helps lock on. Haven’t had my nose on blood orange, both Hazes are amazing, however my preference is the blue
Nice list. I'll be wearing a few from your list. It's been extremely hot in Texas too. Lately I've been wearing Rirana Salty Citrus, Carner Barcelona Salado and Ibiza Nights, Gorse by Laboratory Perfumes and REPLICA Sailing Day, as well as the typical Creed, PDM and Amouage. Have you considered doing a sea/salty summer niche list? Thanks for the content!
Not sure if it's just my bottle but the atomizer for Olfactive Studio's Still Life is probably the worst I've seen. I have to press it down 3, 4 sometimes 5 times to get a decent spray. It will also kind of leak after continuous presses. Maybe I got a dud? It's a headache so definitely my first and last bottle from them for awhile.
Great list and I enjoyed it and I like Creed millisime imperial and I give it a 8.5 out of 10 and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
My skin absorbs fragrances like crazy so I can´t wear any of these weaker fragrances :( If I ask friends or family what they think about my fragrance they ALWAYS have to lean in and barely smell anything even 2 hours after spraying Xerjoff Naxos 4 times.... I love fragrances but unfortunately nobody can smell me :/ Would love to see a summer list of fragrances with insane performance.
Off topic but I just got a sample of Roja creation E and I can't stand it...very dark, spicy and stong. Too strong. Maybe in the dead of winter. Just some FYI for anyone interested in it.
@@DrewDiddy7703 you were either Sharing randomly...or guessed it. Jaja. I don't wanna say I love it...but...I kind of do. I feel ashamed for not hating a mall frag. 😂

Mancera’s Vetiver or Rojoa Vetiver Cologne ????? I prefer a more clean frag. Like Gray Vetiver or Creed OV! Thoughts??

@@kylekarnes4652 thanks, Kyle. I was asking about the performance of Pearfecto but I had a typo. Sounds so unique. Wondered if it projects and lasts.
Ash, you are the one I trust in all recommendations. Always great. Thank you.
VIW, Fico Di Amalfi, Percival are my current rotation.
What’s Percival?

I love the smell of Percival, unfortunately it doesn't perform on my skin too well
Just wanna say, cuz of you I decided to splurge on some designer smells. YSL Y is now my go to smell 😍😍😍 absolutely beautiful stuff
The parfum or EDP ?
@@mensspace9519 Eau De Parfum. Fck me it's so nice 🤣😍😍
Really enjoying BDK - Sel D’Argent. Great recommendation Ash. Thanks-
Great niche list Ash, my go to fragrance right now is Sean Jean 3AM, it never fails to garner compliments!

Aqua di gio profundo, Xerjoff Nio, Ganymede, Prada Luna rosa black (nights) PDM Sedley and Costa azzura and Another 13
I use Soleil Blanc, MIlesime imperial Aqua di gio, Lost Cherry, costa azzurra
Millesime Imperial is amazing, had two samples and I absolutely will buy a bottle or two when I can afford them.
Just get armaf unless u luv creed
@@markman1409 what one?
@@Harz77 Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone
Sel Marin better than Acqua di sale?
have you tried Teo Cabanel "ça boum" or "et voila"?

Mancera “Holidays”….awesome!
Lol Ash, you really bringing out that summer vibe with that giant mojito shirt 🤣👍🤜
Is "still life in Rio" appropriate for guys in their 20s or is it more mature ? 🤔
The note breakdown sounds really nice 😬
It works for all ages actually. Don't have to worry there.
I really enjoy Sedley! I get what you mean though about questioning if it's 300 dollars worthy.
It’s great…though honestly I wish I had a pre-reformulated bottle….I had a decant of that and it was so much “softer” smelling
Any fresh Mancera fragrance has been a compliment *beast* for me. The ladies are literally chasing me down.

What do you think of Tom ford soleil blanc as summer fragrance?
How’s the Sel Marin compared to OP Megamare?
11:12 - POV watching myself spraying fragrance everyday 😂
I keep getting advertisements for Sir,Anthony Hopkins Eau de Parfum…Is it a summer niche fragrance?
Really i agree...Whats up with the heat! its hot here too! 110 degrees! I never put Fragrance on for other people! Just my greedy old self! lol
Hey, I’m wearing Musc Imperial today! 😊
My summer 2021 go to has been Aaron Terence Hughes Ozone. Great coconut scent with some depth

Cedrat Boise and Millesime Imperial when it comes to niche.
There's a cheap niche fragrance I keep asking you your opinion for....but I notice in the heat it maximizes ... thallium
In Saudi Arabia it's 45-50 at day time and 35-40 at night 🔥

One question: Where is Nio?
Bro, the racks behind the hosts head aren’t in focus. Now I can’t see the white Lowe’s/Home Depot pricing stickers on the shelf brackets!
Honestly not a big fan of the precious liquid scents mostly because of the price for what you get.
BAL D’AFRIQUE ?
I tired BDK the other day and I could barely smell it
The automizer on the big bottle releases a long spray. I drag it across my chest, 1 spray on each of the outside of my arms and one on inside.
It's 48° C in Dubai 😄
Absolutely
Acqua Viva brow?
13:20...but Armaf does the best Creed warm weather fragrances,that's for sure.
No idea why anyone would buy overpriced & sub par performing Creed now.
I recently picked up Milestone for $35 and it is definitely a great clone in my opinion.
@@LouiePHSC
Armaf does Creed better than Creed.
Some old Creed faithful's with more $ than brains continue to feed the Creed greed though!
