Niche vs Designer Perfume
The real difference is scale and positioning, not necessarily quality.
| Designer | Niche | |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Fashion/lifestyle brands | Smaller, specialist houses |
| Distribution | Wide, mainstream retail | Limited, often direct or select stockists |
| Style | Broadly appealing, tested for mass market | Often more experimental or distinctive |
| Price | Wide range | Often, though not always, higher |
