Frequently asked questions

What makes niche fragrances different?

These come from independent perfume houses that prioritize creative expression over mass-market appeal. They produce smaller quantities and often use unconventional ingredient combinations you won't find in department stores. If you're looking for something distinctive that won't be on everyone else, you're in the right place.

Why do these cost more than designer fragrances?

Smaller production runs mean higher per-unit costs. Many niche houses also use higher concentrations of fragrance oils (15-30% vs. 5-15% in typical designer colognes). You're paying for distinctiveness and quality ingredients, not advertising budgets or celebrity endorsements. The higher concentration also means you'll use less per application—better longevity per spray.

How long will a bottle actually last?

A 100ml bottle provides roughly 1,000-1,400 sprays. Because niche fragrances are more concentrated, most wearers use 2-3 sprays per application (vs. 4-6+ for designer colognes). That's 330-700 wears, or 12-24 months with regular use—daily luxury that lasts.
