Niche perfumes for women

What is a niche perfume?

A niche perfume is created by a house specialising in artistic perfumery and reaches the public through selective distribution: you will not find it in every shopping centre, but in a small number of chosen perfumeries that know it, tell its story and let you try it.

That is what sets niche apart from mass-market perfumes: creations with a strong personality, raw materials in the spotlight and the freedom to dare accords you would not find elsewhere. For anyone looking for a perfume that truly suits her, it is the right place to start.

What does “especially suited to her” mean?

In niche perfumery fragrances are almost always created without a gender: the perfumer composes an olfactory story, not a perfume “for women” or “for men”. That is why all our perfumes are unisex, and everyone is free to wear the one that feels like theirs.

Some fragrances, however, are chosen more often by those looking for a perfume for her. We see it every day in our boutique and read it in our customers’ feedback: these are the perfumes we have gathered on this page. On each product page, under Gender, you will find “Unisex, especially suited to her”.

From the most luminous to the most enveloping

The many sides of the selection, from the freshest and sunniest to the warmest and most sensual:

In our selection the most represented family is floral, followed by gourmand, fruity and amber; woody, citrus and spicy scents are there too. To explore every nuance, use the fragrance family, note or brand filters.

The right perfume for every moment

There are no rules in perfume: everyone can wear what they love, whenever they like, and that is how it should be. If you are looking for some guidance, though, here are our suggestions for everyday moments, chosen from the perfumes available in our boutique.

How to choose a niche perfume for her

Start from what you love, or what she loves: a bunch of fresh flowers, a pastry just out of the oven, a basket of summer fruit, the warmth of a precious resin. Every desire leads to a family, and every family opens up a world of nuances.

Then think about the moment: a perfume for the day and the office, one for the evening, one to wear just for yourself. And if it is a gift, notice the perfume she already wears: it is the best clue to finding a new one that suits her.
