Niche > Designer?

My first review here that I'm writing because this fragrance was the one that got me excited about perfume.

A few weeks ago I was on vacation and as it often happens on a beach vacation, I ordered me out of boredom some niche fragrances (Xerjoff, Terenzi, Creed, ...) to have some new fragrances to test when I arrived. The following weeks I have worn exclusively these fragrances, every day niche, some also at absurdly high prices, with great quality and exceptional fragrance notes and fantastic H/S.

On Tuesday, however, after working late and not turning on the alarm, I had to be quick. Oversleeping and only a few minutes to get ready made me reach for the Prada; and I was in love all over again. Just one spray and the most beautiful soapy scent is in the air, no nook or cranny, just pure feel good in a mirrored bottle. I think the powdery note gives the scent what makes it special, the fresh notes the lightness it needs to be so universal. This fragrance is coming home, just uncomplicated and yet so intriguing and overwhelmingly beautiful.

All day I still thought about it and came to the conclusion that few strokes of genius whether they come from designers, hardly find worthy competition from the niche world.
Prada L'homme is for me one of these strokes of genius, my safe haven and my well-being on Sunday also the couch.

Durability and sillage I would like to see still at niche level, then I would not need another fragrance
