For people who at least once faced with an exclusive perfume, fragrance other elite cease to exist. Among the inhabitants many misconceptions about exclusive fragrances as luxurious expensive products for the jaded fashionistas who «Dior», «Valentino», «Chanel» is no longer interesting. However, things are different: in the pursuit of fashion buyers often acquire good «untwisted» the most famous brands products. A selective (niche) perfumery, in accordance with the translation of the Latin «selects the best», ignoring advertising. «Luxury» perfumes Yves Saint Laurent company, Lancome, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Chanel, Valentino and others are not coming from the pages of fashion magazines. The products of these brands each store sells perfumes and cosmetics. In contrast, selective brands have a very limited number of outlets (250). That is why the products are niche perfume is protected from forgery and has a high cost, reducing its availability to the customer. Price selective perfume also depends on the fact that the unique feed of the highest quality is used for its production.



The most famous brands are selective for today Annick Goutal, Amouage, E.Coudray, Diptyque, Il Profumo, Serge Lutens, Erno Laszlo, Penhaligon, Jo Malone, Frederic Malle, Parfums de Rosine, Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier, Miller Harris, Montale. Their exclusive perfumes addressed elected, and the experience and tradition of manufacturing products are kept in the strictest confidence.

From simple to complex and vice versa

During the last century, perfumery products passed the conversion path from elite to mass. In 90 years, the use of animal feed was banned, the chemical industry has developed the newest synthetic products, which replaced the natural, and therefore the cost of perfume is minimized. New technologies have simplified the task of perfume companies, products are now updated with incredible speed. The result of this process is the emergence of «average» perfume designed for the simplest tastes.



Niche perfumery unconventional. Regardless of its high quality, it is necessary to taste not for everyone, because it is difficult to understand. For example, selective fragrances Oud Queen Rose by Montale, Norma Kamali Incense by Norma Kamali, Gold pour femme by Amouage unprepared buyer can just scare. The choice of selective perfumery requires some knowledge and culture. These fragrances are designed for particularly sensitive aesthetes.<
Selective perfumes created as opposed to some mediocre product «promoted» brands that relied on commerce.



The lion’s share of the cost of a conventional fragrance falls on advertising and promotion of exclusive perfumes comes only at the expense of buyers who understand it, that is, «word of mouth». Brands such as Bulgary, Davidoff, Dior, for example, set up little-known companies in the world of perfumes and selective brands use the services of the most famous perfumers of our time, and deal only with the release of aromas. Products niche perfume may seem provocative, outdated, complex, as selective brands are guided by the conceptual. Monoaromaty with a simple construction and can be mixed to create an individual range of aromatic, complex compositions evoke memories and evoke emotions. Typically, selective perfumery bottles made out of a single design, which also confirms its conceptual.



Traditional — an integral part in the creation of niche perfumery. That is why selective brands are mainly in France, Italy, England. Japan Selective perfumes, as well as all Japanese products, is different from the European, so it must be treated separately. England Traditions differ significantly from the French, English exclusive perfumery is much simpler and has its fans. Niche perfumery Italy stands out easily, and traditional delicacy, devoid of any difficulties.



Selective perfumes created on the principle of intransigence, its authors — very creative, independent perfumers. For example, the world famous Serge Lyutans, who created one of the famous niche brands, a long time working in the company Shiseido, had not been able to choose their own ingredients for their products. Only exclusive perfumes created on the principle that all unusual, extraordinary — the best.
