I have followed perfume blogs and message boards for a while now and have been entranced by the bigger, better and more expensive "niche" industry. I have also noted how few women seem to be aware of these options and how fewer still plunk down their dollars for a $120 rose scent when a $50 one is still rosy.
When women have commented positively on my fragrance it is usually an affordable model as the pricey niche scents smell somewhat off putting and foreign to their noses. If I get a negative remark it is always a nouveau niche fragrance and it is usually deemed "weird". The one exception is Ava-Luxe. People LOVE Ava-Luxe.
Read the blogs though and you will soon start to believe that you are on the scrabby end of life if you do not know and wear Frederic Malle or Serge Lutens, or that you are rather inculte if you cannot wax philosophical about whichever new craze Aedes is pushing on Christopher Street.
This all leads me to wonder if these bloggers and posters have unlimited resources or if they do own these pricey couture scents at all! Anybody can write a fragrance review and claim they were magically "transported" to a French garden or a sultan's harem or an asian spice market. You don't really even have to own the scent! You don't even need to have smelled it!
