Inexpensive Niche Fragrance Brands that Fragrantica Editors Love

There is a certain attitude in the perfume community that pits niche against designer, ultimately settling on the tired cliché that niche fragrance is for wealthy snobs. While we can understand why high price tags make certain perfumes inaccessible to many, we also think that this reality doesn't represent niche as a whole. In fact, there are plenty of affordable niche perfume brands. But because there are simply so many niche houses -- and because of that aforementioned stereotype -- we feel the affordable ones often get lost in the sea of perfume content. So John, Nicola, and Adam decided to spotlight some niche and indie fragrance houses which keep their prices reasonable and, in many cases, actually compete with the designer world's pricing. Some of these examples come from houses which offer smaller sizes as a means of keeping price down. But others are brands which keep larger bottle sizes consistently on their rosters for low retail prices. We hope you enjoy discovering some of these affordable scents with us!
