If you are a true perfume lover, you will want to explore the small Boutique style artistic perfume studios. These boutique studios produce on a much smaller scale than mainstream brands and their presence in mainstream retail stores is minimal or non-existent.
We have put together a collection of these niche fragrances that we think any true perfume lover must
have a least one of them in their collection.
GUY LAROCHE FIDJI 100ML EDT
Fidji stands for the name of the islands located in the southern part of the Pacific. Just there, on one of the Fidji islands, the idea of the first Guy Laroche perfume was born.
Fidji is a feminine perfume by Guy Laroche. The scent was launched in 1966 and the fragrance was created by perfumer Josephine Catapano. The bottle was designed by Serge Mansau, Fidji has become incredibly popular, because it is the perfume from the sunny islands and is attractive. The fresh wave of galbanum, hyacinth, lemon, bergamot and meets the floral heart across rose, jasmine, violet, and ylang-ylang. The spicy floral nuance of the carnation gives its harshness and makes the character of the composition stronger.
ESCENTRICS MOLECULES ESCENTRIC 01
Molecule 01, launched in 2006 by Escentric Molecules, is sure to be the most unusual and exciting scent in your collection. It contains one fragrance note: Iso E Super. Iso E Super is the trademarked name for a large organic molecule whose feminine, velvet-woody scent vanishes at first, only to reappear when the warmth of your skin and your unique body chemistry allow it to release a distinctive fragrance.
Iso E Super is a molecule that hovers close to the skin to create an indefinable aura, it is characterized by cedar wood notes with a velvety sensation. Perfumer Geza Schon explains Iso E Super is one of those skin-sexy scents that makes you want to nestle in it.

JEAN PATOU 1000
Created by Jean Kerléo in 1972, 1000 is from the generation of perfumes that followed the dictum of “more is more,” and you have to be prepared for it. You have to like the starchy crinkle of aldehydes starched linen crossed with overheated metal, the buttery richness of rose and iris, the heft of creamy woods, and the inky darkness of oakmoss. It skimps on nothing, which makes it both fun and challenging.
1000 has an unpromising opening of strong aldehydes and green, crushed leaf notes, which smells plain old-fashioned. But this phase is immediately taken over by the dark violets and sandalwood, which give 1000 a soft, rich feel.
The top notes are coriander, green notes, bergamot, tangerine, and violet leaf; the middle notes are iris, violet, jasmine, Chinese osmanthus, lily-of-the-valley, rose, and geranium; the base notes are sandalwood, amber, musk, patchouli, civet, oakmoss and vetiver.
SERGE LUTENS AMBRE SULTAN
Evoking a fragment of amber resin picked by Serge Lutens during a wander through Marrakech, this perfume marks a return to a focus on the identity and authenticity of unique ingredients. From the fragranced world of an esteemed French perfume house, this is an oriental scent fit for a king if you fantasize about what it would be like to be a sheik, this would be your scent.
Ambre Sultan is the antithesis of the golden, powdery ambers you may be familiar with. This stunning fragrance is deep, resinous scent, loaded with spices, deep amber, earthy patchouli, dark resins, and quiet vanilla, all of which combine to make a visceral and raw scent experience. The fragrance features amber, coriander, sandalwood, bay leaf, patchouli, angelica, resins and myrrh. It is deep and mysterious.
It’s a trip to a Bedouin tent in a desert far away and stealing a look inside…thick incense burning on coal with spices filling the air, mysterious eyes flashing, and a very real feeling that you’ve never smelled anything like this magnificent amber perfume before.
