Re: Opinions on niche houses

My absolute fave niche house would have to be Guerlain although there are several scents I just don't get in this house, nevertheless I am still fascinated by it and it's bottles lol  35. Also love most of Hermes and quite a lot of Comptoir Sud Pacifique and Aqua di Parma etc.

Not such a great success with Annick Goutal scents apart from this one http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.14722.jpg Annick Goutal Nuit Etoilee which I absolutely love. I find most of AG scents don't seem to work on me and the longevity is poor for such an expensive scent.

Re: Opinions on niche houses

Brands that work great with my skin:

Montale Half of what I tested, I loved.

Frederic Malle I tested and loved most of the female and male selections, they attract me like a magnet

Parfumerie Générale Often a winner as well



Brands that do not work for me:

Amouage They often use myrrh and strong incenses in their scents which means instant headache for me

Juliette has a gun I feel underwhelmed by this line

Les Parfums de Rosine I love roses but their scents are a bit boring on me.

I am not picky, just discerning.

Re: Opinions on niche houses

Well now that I've tested more, I'm going kinda gaga for Tom Ford and Montale.  I really love Omnia Profumo, despite the fact that their scents are not my "type," I still think they are awesome.  L'Artisan too is very nice.

I've struck out with JHAG as well.  83 Haven't like any of my 5 samples.
