Niche Houses everyone needs to know.

This is a list of Niche fragrance houses that we believe need even more recognition. Houses that everyone need to know not just fragrance conseillers

Even though this brand was born in 1951, it is still not very well known in the United States. They have a very high-quality line. Their fragrances are mainly made in France. We could not write about Ajmal without mentioning our favorite quote from their founder. “A fragrance is all that it takes to travel through time, such is the bond between memory and smell”

This Swedish house has been recently bought by Manzanita Capital. Since then, they have a bigger reach than before. Their fragrances are known for having simple bottle design and note breakdowns.

This Brooklyn based brand started with a unique vision. They want customers to explore the fragrances and believe that the more you know about the stories behind a scent the more you will appreciate it.

This rather small UK based brand has been bought by Estee Lauder and now is available in more countries. What makes this brand apart is, how easy it makes layering fragrances for its consumers. It feels like you are making your own customized perfume.

This brand was initiated by Romano, the grandson of Nina Ricci. The brand was made for women however, right now there are some unisex fragrances made by Juliette has a Gun as well.

L’Artisan Parfumeur was the result of a challenge, a plaisanterie. Due to his training as a chemist, a friend asked Jean Laporte if he could create a banana scent to wear with a costume of the same fruit to a gala evening at the Folies Bergères. This was quickly followed by grapefruit and vanilla fragrances.

He experimented and created original scents with “natural essences”. With the success of his first line of fragrances, Jean Laporte was named L’Artisan Parfumeur – the craftsman of fragrance – by perfume enthusiasts.

This brand was founded in France. All their collection consist of three perfumes. ” Always drawing its inspiration from universal cultural patrimony,LIQUIDES IMAGINAIRES sheds a contemporary light over ancestral symbols, characters or events still present in the collective subconscious. These perfumes are an eternal roundtrip to the founding myths of the humanity and of the self. “

Granted Penhaligon’s is a well respected brand. The reason they are on this list is that they deserve even more recognition in my opinion.
Penhaligon’s are the holders of two royal warrants.  They still are using their original bottle design and high quality ingredients.

The most important idea behind this brand is luxury and quality. This Italian brand just started distributing in the United State’s market.

The founder, Serge Lutens is someone who we are personally fascinated with here at MaxAroma. He is an artist that was successful in every form he showed his talent, including fragrances. ” Serge Lutens fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Christopher Sheldrake, Maurice Roucel, Serge Lutens and Gilles Romey. “

Natural ingredients that are used in making perfumes

When we smell perfumes, we notice certain scents that we know about. Scents of fruits, flowers, a few nourishments, wood, leather and so forth could easily cause us to believe that it’s just a question of picking flowers and fruits and blend them up to create best natural perfume. Here, we take a look at the absolute most regular fixings utilized as a part of natural perfumes and the issues encompassing them from the viewpoint of the natural engineered items continuum.

Flowers

Relatively every perfume needs some botanical quintessence in it, and not all flowers are developed or collected the same. The yield of the pith of flowers is normally low henceforth they have a tendency to be exceptionally valued. Creating simply finished a large portion of a kilogram of rose oil, for instance, can require as much as 400kg of rose flowers. The roses must be picked before dawn, set in the special crates and prepared as quickly as time permits in the wake of picking.

Because of the high sticker price on original, pure and natural fragrances of rose and jasmine, manufactured adaptations are all the more promptly accessible. The natural perfumes are generally costly when contrasted with the synthetic ones.

 Vetiver

Vetiver is a tall grass that develops naturally in South India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. The fragrance is extricated from the underlying foundations of the vetiver plant. It is a prevalent fixing in men’s perfumes and specialty natural fragrances. The embodiment of vetiver is acquired through steam refining. Because of its special fragrance, vetiver is relatively difficult to recreate artificially.

Agarwood (Oudh)

Agarwood is a standout amongst the most costly among the fixings utilized as a part of natural perfumes and fragrances. It is discovered for the most part in South Asian nations, for example, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand. It is popular among fragrance customers in the Middle East, and in addition in Hong Kong and Japan.

It is ostensibly the most costly wood on the planet, with a few assortments costing a few times the cost of gold per kilogram. Agarwood is delivered by Aquilaria trees when they respond to a bacterial or contagious assault in the wake of being harmed. Whenever reaped, the tainted, dim wood is isolated from the uninfected wood. Isolating the contaminated wood from the uninfected wood is an exceedingly manual process which is time consuming and intensive. The agarwood oil would then be able to be separated or refined, and it is a basic fixing in top of the line, rich natural perfumes.

Musk

The term ‘musk’ is utilized to indicate a scope of fragrant substances normally utilized as base notes in natural perfumes. It is a fixative fixing, which helps in diminishing the rate of vanishing of the perfume to make it last more. Musk originates from a few unique sources, both natural and fake. Natural wellsprings of musk incorporate the ‘musk deer’, musk organs in crocodiles, the musk duck, musk vixen, musk creepy crawly, African civet and the musk rodent. Plant sources incorporate the musk flower and muskwood among others.

Ambergris

Ambergris is an intestinal emission of some sperm whale species. It is likewise utilized as a base note in perfumery. It is generally discovered above water on seas, and once in a while shored up on shorelines. Matured ambergris is more profitable and valuable for perfumery because of loss of the frightful scent of new ambergris. The utilization of ambergris in perfumes was restricted in the United States because of the imperiled status of the sperm whale.
