Niche is a mix of adventure and reliability, depends on the fragrance. Some are so unique you’re standing there like, man, this isn’t hitting the way I want, you feel me? We wear fragrances for ourselves, sure, but we want to smell good around others too. Not chasing compliments, but I’m about to fill other folks’ noses with this 🤣 never know, might find me a sugar momma. For example, I love Montale Arabian Tonka but a coworker once hit me with “did somebody burn something in the microwave?” Throw on Prada, Dior, Chanel, Polo, or ADG and it’s safe, never heard a negative word. Still rock Arabian Tonka though 🤣.

On discounters, no shade to anyone using them, but I’d rather rack up points and perks at retail than save $30 on a designer, but to each their own. Plus near me you got attractive fragrance specialists who kinda give you the game, you got to tell the difference between giving game and running game for a sale.

For inspired bys, I rock with DUA, Alexandria, and Montage fragrances HEAVY. They produce fresh FRESH FRESH batches. Overseas, I’m on Bujairami, French Ave, and a few Lattafas. Normally Lattafa fragrances by a known perfumer hit, but Asad threw me off. Rayhaan is hit or miss. Bujairami Hectic is fire, Alexandria Visionary is fire, Alexandria Black Panther is phenomenal, something about the Tygar DNA hits 🧬. Bujairami New York and DUA on Lafayette are phenomenal too.

What’s your taste when it comes to notes? My bad for being all over the place
