Niche fragrances

Niche fragrances are produced on a smaller scale than designer fragrances, so they're considered more specialized and unique. When you're looking for a fragrance for yourself or as a gift that won't remind you of fragrances others are wearing, choose a niche fragrance. If you want to test out a fragrance without spending too much, try a travel size, which is 3.4 ounces or less.

Choose niche fragrances by strength

  • Eau fraiche is the most diluted fragrance since it contains one to three percent perfume oil. The scent usually lasts for less than an hour.
  • Eau de cologne — or just cologne — is usually considered a masculine scent and is light, fruity, and fresh. It contains 2 to 4 percent perfume oils and lasts for about two hours.
  • Eau de toilette lasts for about 3 hours since it contains 5 to 15 percent perfume oil.
  • Eau de parfum is considered genderless and contains 15 to 20 percent perfume essence. You can expect it to last up to 8 hours.
  • Perfume is the most concentrated fragrance with 20 to 30 percent pure perfume. It can last up to 24 hours, and you don't need to apply too much. Because it contains more perfume oil, it has a slightly oilier feel to it.
