Fresh start October Niche Day 7 Educational (Do Niche / Indie maintain Value}?
many niche and indie fragrances can have significant resale value, especially when they are limited-edition, discontinued, or highly sought after. Unlike mass-produced designer fragrances, which are widely available, the exclusivity of niche and indie products creates a secondary market where certain scents become valuable collectors' items. Factors that increase resale value - Discontinuation or retirement: When a brand stops producing a specific scent, the limited remaining stock can become very valuable to collectors. This is especially true for popular formulas that can't be easily found elsewhere. - Small-batch production: Many indie perfumers handcraft their scents in small, limited quantities. Once a batch sells out, it may be unavailable for a long time or forever, driving up the resale price. - High-quality or rare ingredients: Niche and indie houses often use expensive, rare, or natural ingredients. Scents built around these hard-to-source materials can fetch a higher price on the resale market due to their unique quality and composition. - Brand reputation and artistry: Some independent brands build a devoted following through their unique approach to perfumery. The brand's reputation for creativity and using high-quality ingredients can increase the value of its retired or exclusive fragrances. - Unique packaging: Bespoke or distinctive bottles and packaging can be a selling point. If the artistic presentation is part of the brand's identity, the full, original packaging can add to the resale price. - Social media influence: A fragrance can gain viral popularity on social media, especially on platforms like TikTok Instagram,Facebook,Ebay and Mercari. This hype can create a sudden, high demand for a scent, leading to elevated resale prices.Ā  How to maximize resale value If you are looking to sell fragrances on the secondary market, keep these best practices in mind: - Keep the original packaging: Retain the box and any inserts. Collectors often value the complete, original packaging. - Store scents properly: Store your perfumes in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight to preserve their scent integrity. Poor storage can degrade the fragrance and reduce its value. - Research market demand: Use online marketplaces like eBay and Mercari, as well as fragrance forums on Reddit (like r/fragrance), to gauge how much similar fragrances are selling for. - Use platforms that reach enthusiasts: Focus on selling on dedicated marketplaces or forums with a community of fragrance lovers. This ensures you are reaching an audience that understands and appreciates niche and indie scents.Ā  - Exclusivity and Uniqueness

SOTD – Black Influence by SÜS-SKƏND - Fresh Start October
Good Morning Brotherhood! Today I come to you with a ā€œFresh Start Octoberā€ fragrance, Black Influence by SÜS-SKƏND. This is a niche fragrance introduced to me by my local niche dealer, D’or Prestige (https://dorprestige.com/). After doing a bit of research on the brand, I learned that Black Influence was crafted in Grasse, France, and launched in 2016. According to the brand’s website (https://www.harsalong.be/sus-skind-black-influence), ā€œPerfume is much more than a combination of molecules and components. It expresses a feeling, a desire that is interpreted by the perfumer to bring to life memories of past emotions or emotions one would like to experience.ā€ The fragrance comes only in a 30ml bottle, presented in an elegant, minimalist design with a sticker logo that gives off true small-business charm. I’d classify this as Indie Niche, since it seems to be sold exclusively through the perfumer and select niche retailers like D’or Prestige but I hate to throw around the word Indie out of respect to true Indie perfumers. Maybe @Lon Chaneyfield can weigh in here to help me out a little to see if the term ā€œIndieā€ fits this house? On first spray, I’m immediately greeted by white florals that are warm and inviting, drawing me in for more. There’s a fleeting touch of animalic funk in the opening, but it quickly fades as the fragrance settles. The dry down brings a soft, white powdery feel, reminiscent of old-school baby powder. Though iris isn’t listed in the official notes, I definitely pick up an iris-like vibe likely from the tonka bean and vanilla. It’s vanillic, slightly cola like, but not gourmand. As it continues to evolve, woody nuances emerge, giving the powdery notes a smooth wooden base to rest on. To put it in perspective, I’d compare this to Dior Homme 2020, but softer, creamier, and with a touch more wood in the base. Performance is excellent and not ā€œbeast modeā€ by any means, but very respectable. Projection sits about an arm’s length with 8 sprays, so I’d call it moderate. However, the longevity is outstanding. You can tell the ingredients are high quality as it stays rich and creamy for 8+ hours.
