Armani Eau de Nuit - Yes, Finally!! This fragrance sooo overlooked and deserves much more hype! I called it “La Nuit De L’homme Intense”, because it’s close to LNDL but more intensive. Cartier L’Envol EDP - what a great scent, love it 🍯 this fragrance can be under some niche brand, easily. High quality and great performance. Best honey scent, imo Great video, Ash!
Haven't smelled much niche fragrances, but I know that out of all my recent purchases, D&G the one EDP has left a huge impression on me and I think it's much more worth and smells than its cost.
I remember Coty giving Eau de Nuit a 5/5. I loved that review. L'envol edp a super waxy/lipsticky scent on my skin in the drydown. Superb performance, although I prefer the edt myself.
Love the list... definitely want to get my nose on some of these. My suggestion for niche smelling... but at an affordable price point... rasasi la yuqawam tobacco blaze. I have never smelled anything like tobacco blaze... definitely a unique one. A second, harder to find suggestion... Halston man Amber smells way way more niche than the $15 I found it for a few years ago. Love it in the cold weather too
I completely understand where you are coming from with L'envol i literally did the same thing. It was nice at first then recently I randomly picked it up and was surprised I slept on it.
Great vid Ash! I’m going to recommend a celeb fragrance! SJP Stash, yes I know, but IMHO it’s a great fragrance for the price! Smells totally niche with great performance and presentation. Picked it up for £12 ($16).
@@fthewordofman9580 Can’t say I liken it to a particular fragrance. Opens relatively bright (briefly), then settles into a nutty accord, has Pistachio in it (reminds me of coconut). Then further into the dry down turns woody and the cedar comes through with patchouli. This frag really changes a lot on your skin but comes across clean smelling. Marketed as unisex but leans masculine with the woody drydown. Definitely sample it first!
Roberto Cavalli Uomo is a high quality scent that doesn't cost much. Dior Homme Parfum is a high quality niche like scent. If it was released in the Mason Dior private collection, I wouldn't be surprised.
All the fragrances of the Chopard malaki line ( oud, amber, rose and musk). Saint hilaire private black, van Gils VGV, Rochas Moustache EDP, Bentley intense and the Bentley infite intense. Loewe 7 dark blue bottle, Burberry London, Berdoues masai mara are some great fragrances that smell more expensive than you pay for them.
Hey Jamie these are more for fall the most fresh of all is the van Gils VGV ( Dutch brand ) IT gives a bit the fibe of spicebomb original but it is not the same
Excellent list. I've been looking for an oud fragrance to try out, but seeing as I'm just getting into this, I'm hesitant to spend too much on a bottle I'm not 100% sure of. So I'm very glad that you added Oud Touch to this list. I will definitely be looking for that.
Also check Armani Attitude Extreme ( discontinued and the price now is around 200 euro for 50 ml) - great winter smell of silver fir, resins, smoky ceder and hot spices...stunning result and reactions.
I recently ordered Armanu eau de nuit because many people are saying that has been discontinued. Encre Noir by Lalique smells niche but is super cheap and easy to get hold of.
Very interesting list Ash! Well done! Now which fragrance do I have that smells "niche?" What about Davidoff Zino? It's a killer frag that is DUMB cheap!!
I'm glad that you show Armani Eau Nuit. Ashton what do you think about Oud Nuit from Armani? Which is hard to find now in my country :/ But it's fragrance from my top 3 of all existing fragrances I know. I need to get it somehow. I love that fragrance❤I have Cartier L'Envol EDT - love it too and the best honey fragrance for my taste. Wear it with sweater (amazing longevity on clothes). Ashton how you choose which fragrance to use because you have so many of them?🤔 I bought Abercrombie Fitch First Instinct Extreme for daily, dumb reach for fall because it's not to sweet and manly, fresh.
I just bought Franck Olivier Vanille Oud from browsing fragrantica. Funny you talked about one of the frangrances in that line. I've never heard them brought up on RUclips
18.21 Manmade sweet tobacco. You can pick it up for about $60-$80 but it smells very niche. I wouldn’t say it is very expensive smelling or compliment getting, but it smells like a high quality niche fragrance that others will notice
To me Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Extreme dries down to smell very close to Herod. It goes there after a very nice evolution of spicy and sweet notes. So to me it has a great value for money, even if it's not cheap at all!
Love your videos but in my opinion I like your videos better when you have the cologne on hand where you take another smell of it & speak about the then & now differences in how you feel about said fragrance. Just my opinion.
I would gladly pay $100 bucks for my bottle of Issey Miyake Pulse of the Night. I paid $58 for it. Its a really great frag! I paid $90 for Pure Havana. As much as I love it I'd definitely go to 150 for it
Paul Smith london EDT smelt incredible and high high quality, they re released it in an EDP but it lacks the punch the old one had, which was absolute quality and peanuts to buy, now its mega expensive because it was discontinued, but its an absolute beauty
apart from the usual suspects Encre Noire, Bentley for men intense and the whole Guerlain classic line, I’d say Carven Vetiver and Eau Intense, Lalique Hommage a l’homme voyageur, Lalique piuttosto Homme Lion, Zadig&Voltaire This is him, Boss No.1
Smelling expensive designers: 1. Bvlgari BLV Pour Homme. (50 euros for 100ml) 2. Prada Amber Pour Homme INTENSE. (58 euros for 100ml) 3. Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey Pour Homme INTENSE. (28 euros for 125ml) 4. Salvatore Ferragamo F Black by Ferragamo for Men. (25 euros for 100ml) 5. Bentley for men INTENSE. (30 euros for 100ml) 6. Burberry London for Men. (30 euros for 100ml)
24 gold and oud touch (f.o) very very very difficult to wear . Smell unpleasant for me. In my 120 colognes collection they wd be the last I wd wear them.
@@marcjohn9404 yeah, I'm afraid of using mine, I still have a full bottle from 2018 75ml. But I'm glad to hear the new 100ml is the same juice. If the price ever normalizes or if I travel I'll Def get a couple of those to be set.
Awesome viddy and list, Ash! I’ve had Oud Touch for years now, and totally agree. The drydown is completely worth it. Love the smoky incense that comes out after awhile to tone down the sweetness. As for fragrances that smell more expensive than they cost, I will go with any in the Encre Noire line, any Cartier fragrance, and Boucheron PH and Jaipur PH. Be well Ash! 👍
I smelled some.of the old formulations. Of the classic's: Antaeus, heritage, Armani pour Homme which i used to own, fendi pour homme etc in a mall in Lisbon, they have them at 5 ml and 2 ml miniature bottles. I think that IFRA had a deal with the niche companies in order to diminish designer fragrance to smell F*ing awesome and high quality.

Eau de Nuit is one of my favorite perfumes ever, that iris, incense and pink pepper accord is so uplifting
Haven't smelled much niche fragrances, but I know that out of all my recent purchases, D&G the one EDP has left a huge impression on me and I think it's much more worth and smells than its cost.
Finally Armani Eau de series mention! Eau de Cedre from that line is my favorite, sadly not talked about anywhere
I totally forgot about Armani Edn! Thanks man!!! Amazing performance and very underrated
M7 is killer. Bday gifted to me this month.
Excellent content bro. For some reason your vids seem no nonsense while other influencers seem to be hype men. Great info for an upstart like myself.
I’ve been wanting to order M7. I’ve heard it’s really solid. Great list and will be checking some of those fragrances out.
Great minds think alike, m7 habit rouge xeryus rouge have been on my list for a year😂
@@fthewordofman9580 Yeah that m7 is supposed to be 🔥. Picked up Habit Rouge but haven’t worn it yet.
@@TheFragranceWardrobe guerlain got a few i want ideal cool, edp, HR...appreciate it bro🤙💯
I hate the fact that "normal" designers of yesterday must be compared to niche, because the average designer fragrance is so poor now
Remy Latour Cigar Black Oud. Pure magic. Some people think it's gross or too mature. I go light and blend it with Bentley for men Absolute.
Rasasi daarej Def. Smells better than the 20 euro price tag!
Can’t argue with that!
Facts! Purple 🔥
The three that immediately come to mind are PAPHI, Narc Rod for Him and LIDG/LIDGE. All are high quality and very unique.
I remember Coty giving Eau de Nuit a 5/5. I loved that review. L'envol edp a super waxy/lipsticky scent on my skin in the drydown. Superb performance, although I prefer the edt myself.

I couldn’t agree with you more on the Cartier Lenvol, so much so that I bought both the EDP and EDT.
This one is really slept on
I completely understand where you are coming from with L'envol i literally did the same thing. It was nice at first then recently I randomly picked it up and was surprised I slept on it.

@@fthewordofman9580 Thanks for reminding me about Light Blue for women, I’d also heard a while ago that it also works for guys. Cheers!
Roberto Cavalli Uomo is a high quality scent that doesn't cost much. Dior Homme Parfum is a high quality niche like scent. If it was released in the Mason Dior private collection, I wouldn't be surprised.
RCU quality yes but the smell is mmmmm so so imo.
I honestly think that Michael Kors Men is one of the most underpriced fragrances I've found. It smells so much more expensive than it is.
All the fragrances of the Chopard malaki line ( oud, amber, rose and musk). Saint hilaire private black, van Gils VGV, Rochas Moustache EDP, Bentley intense and the Bentley infite intense. Loewe 7 dark blue bottle, Burberry London, Berdoues masai mara are some great fragrances that smell more expensive than you pay for them.
any fresh fragrances?
Hey Jamie these are more for fall the most fresh of all is the van Gils VGV ( Dutch brand ) IT gives a bit the fibe of spicebomb original but it is not the same
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances because they all sound great and have a blessed day
Another great list Ashton, I have 3 of the 5 you've mentioned 👌
Roshas Mustache for me. Super cheap and you smell like a boss after it 👌
S. F. Uomo smells of high quality. Rochas Moustache also smells of high quality. However, many hyped cheapies smell cheap to me.

I feel Rassasi Oudh Nashwah smells amazing, and hits way above its price point.
wowww woww.. this video was get me curious and interesting.. i may check it up soon before hyped again .. thanks Ash
Wonderful fragrances. Couldn’t agree with you more. Thanks for reviewing 👍👍👍
Oud Touch is a great winter fragrance. Go easy on the trigger.
Nice video man, I like these type of videos. :)
Toyboy by Moschino! So unique and different.
Definitely have been eyeing that 24 gold for a while now, seen it in a couple of ya vids, might have to pull the trigger foo
Armani Eau de Nuit and Armani Eau de Cedre are both incredible smelling.
I just bought Franck Olivier Vanille Oud from browsing fragrantica. Funny you talked about one of the frangrances in that line. I've never heard them brought up on RUclips

Smells very honey and the background smells leather. Fits to "Renegade" tv show.
To me Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Extreme dries down to smell very close to Herod. It goes there after a very nice evolution of spicy and sweet notes. So to me it has a great value for money, even if it's not cheap at all!
Bentley for Men Intense is a real bargain with great quality 🙏
Do you have it? If yes I’m looking to purchase it, what’s your thoughts and the performance numbers on the fragrance?
Bentley Apsolute, Bvlgary Wood Essence, Botegga Veneta PH Extreme, Givenchy gentleman edt and Boase and Zara + JM Ebony Wood
Hahaha can't believe you mentionned and hyped Armani Eau de Nuit.
Amazing now this one will get sold a lot!
Was already sold out at Armani.usa for months.
Considering price and quality, I think Prada Amber Pour Homme is a consideration
Yeah I tested the Eau de Nuit first time this last weekend and I really liked it 👍
Noir argent - id happily hand over ~150 for that one
Great list!
I love L’Envol. I have the EdP and the Parfum which is great too. I think Moschino Toy Boy smells much more expensive than it is
to me prada luna rossa black because it's pretty creative
Hey, Ash, please do the review of Eeu de Nuit Oud. It is very underrated. Great scent though. Thanks!
Completely agree. Sadly it's discontinued 😭
@@time4jesus what a shame! One of my favorite along with Attitude.

Ungaro III Oud , cheap but smell niche and expensive.
Thanks
Hi Ash! Can you review Ajmal Kuro. It’s supposed to be a Dior Sauvage clone. Maybe compare it with Armaf Ventanna as well
Zadig&Voltaire - This is Him!
Armani eau de nuit is amazing. My number 1
What's the difference between niche and designer?
Paul Smith london EDT smelt incredible and high high quality, they re released it in an EDP but it lacks the punch the old one had, which was absolute quality and peanuts to buy, now its mega expensive because it was discontinued, but its an absolute beauty
Is it always sunny over there where you live?
Jaipur Edp by Boucheron
That is a complex, mysterious Gem with a touch of eastern vibe. Niche quality for me
Dude I’m wearing that right now!! Took me a few uses to “warm up” to it but you’re right, it’s a nice one 👍🏼
I Wan't to Re-Order YSL M7 Oud Absolu. I Heard It's Very Solid than Oud Designer Scents.
Encre Noire, Ferragamo F Black, Heritage Guerlain
HiM by Hanae Mori smells more expensive than it really is and it smells great! P.I own Oud Touch F.Olivier and I really like it.
Cartier L'Envol EDP is super underrated
Should I get Oud Touch??
Yes. Smells oud, leather and rose. Long lasting 15 hours.
Lalique encre noir a l'extrême smells also like a niche perfume
Lalique - encre noire
You stole my answer lol. à la extrême is another one.
Undoubtedly! and a l'extreme is just another league
@@fmkhan213 I love à la extrême equally. I just spray on some. Perfect weather where I am for it- damp and chilly
loewe solo platinum is 20£ on ebay and smells niche
John Varvatos Dark Rebel. Halston Man Amber was cheap, though not anymore. Gucci Guilty Absolute.
I think Azzaro Wanted by Night, Spicebomb, Allure Eau Extreme are some exemples of nich smell
Yeah chanel smells pretty expensive, so does Prada l'homme and D&G the one. Great smell
Rochas Moustache EdP
apart from the usual suspects Encre Noire, Bentley for men intense and the whole Guerlain classic line, I’d say Carven Vetiver and Eau Intense, Lalique Hommage a l’homme voyageur, Lalique piuttosto Homme Lion, Zadig&Voltaire This is him, Boss No.1
Gucci Guilty Absolute no doubt!
What would u give out of 10🔥's
Issey Miyake L'Dissey *INTENSE*
Declaration d'un soir for sure.
That's great man
Zara 9.0
Absolutely smells much more than you pay

Nice list for new initiates. But eventually we all end up down the burning wallet path 😂😂🔥
Encre Noire Extreme
Robert Graham Valour!!
Bleu de Chanel, The One and Prada l'homme smell pretty expensive imo
Im wanna try olivier oud
Oliver oud on point
I think Oud Vanille is a great frag too. But too feminine because it’s vanilla heavy. I love the Oud vibe though.
@@abuqatadah03 Nah. Very manly. Feminine smells more like My little pony. But Oud Vanille has nothing to do with My little pony feminine.
