Collection: Lignum Vitae

The resinous wood of the South American guaiac wood tree (also lignum vitae or French wood) is used to obtain the essential oil of the same name. In earlier times it was very popular as a remedy and was said to cure, among other things, smallpox or syphilis which earned it the name Lignum vitae (tree of life). Guaiac wood smells balsamic-sweet with earthy-woody, smoky and slightly violet-like notes. It is used especially in woody fragrances and as a fixative in floral scents. © von Franz Eugen Köhler, Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons

Niche fragrances at First in Fragrance

For over 20 years, Aus Liebe zum Duft has been proud to present you with a special selection of the finest niche fragrances. At the turn of the millennium, we still had to travel to the world's major cities to compile our hand-picked selection of rare perfumes. Today, it's easier to find even unusual fragrances, thanks to the internet and more advanced structures such as fragrance fairs.

The challenge today is more about finding the true treasures from the ever-growing abundance of products available, so you can order them online from us. Always with the understanding that we've already made a pre-selection, thanks to our decades of expertise, which you can rely on.

What is a niche fragrance?

A niche fragrance is a perfume that is outside the mass market. Niche fragrances are not focused on appealing to the broadest possible audience. They tend to have rough edges and are more likely to be seen as a statement. Niche fragrances are often produced in small batches by small brands, young and aspiring perfumers who seek artistic expression beyond marketing concerns. Another characteristic is their excellent ingredients. There are niche perfumes based on purely natural ingredients, while others rely on innovative molecules; you can definitely smell the difference.

High-quality fragrances, artful composition by creative minds, and small-batch production inevitably lead to a higher price. However, once you've found your holy grail, you won't want anything else.

Who wears niche fragrances?

Over the years, we've had the pleasure of getting to know many of our customers, and it's fair to say that niche fragrances attract special people. We've observed a common denominator among fragrance lovers—generalizing, of course, and as always, exceptions prove the rule: fragrance lovers are individualists and recognize and appreciate exceptional quality. Be it good wine, fine spirits, exquisite food, fashion, design—in short, everything that delights aesthetes and connoisseurs. Those who wear niche fragrances want to present themselves as unique, with a personal touch. This is wonderfully possible with the help of an unusual niche fragrance that you can't find on every corner.

How do I find the right niche fragrance for me?

Of course, even our selection is still extremely extensive and, especially for budding fragrance aficionados, an impenetrable, albeit wonderful, jungle. In addition to our telephone consultations, which we are happy to offer, you will also find numerous functions in our online shop that allow you to filter perfumes according to your personal preferences. You can use the filter on the left to narrow your search by brand, fragrance family, occasion, or even specific fragrance notes. Part of our consulting services is our company blog, The Fragrance Diary. Here, we offer almost daily reviews of the latest releases from the world of niche fragrances, luxury cosmetics, and home fragrances. We personally test new products and report on our individual impressions, always openly, honestly, and fairly. A fragrance guide for beginners and experienced fragrance lovers alike.

Which niche fragrance brands are popular?

There are so many treasures to discover, especially among smaller and lesser-known brands. We particularly love brands like Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Byredo, Parfums de Marly, Xerjoff, Tiziana Terenzi, Tom Ford, Marc-Antoine Barrois, Editions de Parfum Frédéric Malle, and Laboratorio Olfattivo, to name just a few.
