What does “niche” mean in cologne?

The true meaning of “cologne”

Cologne (Eau de Cologne) typically refers to a light fragrance with a lower concentration of perfume oils – usually around 2–5%. It’s ideal for a fresh, subtle scent that doesn’t overpower.

While “cologne” is often associated with men’s fragrances, there are plenty of colognes for women, too! In actuality, the term has nothing to do with gender – it’s all about the strength of the scent.

What makes a cologne niche?

When we say niche cologne, we mean a cologne created by independent or artisanal perfume houses that focus on quality ingredients, creative compositions, and smaller-scale production. Think of it as the boutique version of fragrance. Exclusive, expressive, and totally unique.
