Fragrances in Anthropologie - Anyone have experience with them?

I tried searching the names of the brands I came across when I went to the store today, but came up with very little...

I went shopping with Lady today, and we went into Anthropologie. I figured she would like it, but I ended up being drawn in by all the different fragrances they sell there. They were all brands I had never heard of, probably super-niche stuff, but some of them smelled quite good. Unfortunately there are no testing strips to try them with, and I was already wearing a frag so I couldn't test any of them, so I figured I'd note some of the names down and search when I get home. Much to my chagrin, I could barely find any reviews, so I thought I'd post up this thread.

Here are some of the brands I was interested in:

Lostmarch
Ineke

They also had a collection of 4 or 5 different fragrances with the creator's names on the bottles, much like Malle's offerings, but I can't find these anywhere on the Anthropologie site... weird.

Anyway, has anyone been able to give most of the frags at this store a full wearing?

*update: I found out the name of that collection: It's called "A Rather Novel Collection"

I didn't know Lostmarch was niche ? They seem pretty cheap in price.

I don't shop at Anthropologie. They are on my boycott list.

I have enjoyed looking and testing the strange little perfumes plus the Ineke scents but have never bought.

Joe - out of interest - I am sure there is a good reason Anthropologie is on your boycott list . Can you tell us more ?

I didn't know that either. Need to revisit them as I was looking for a source close by to purchase them.

I tried the A Rather Novel Collection series last September. The Anthropologie page: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/...nce/993239.jsp

Here is what I posted about them in the "Today I sniffed" thread at the time:

This afternoon... I stopped into the newly-opened Anthropologie store, and tried the 6 fragrances in the "A Rather Novel Collection" series.

I will only comment briefly on two of them:
Hamarikyu Gardens reminded me of the discontinued (and superior) Thymes Fig Leaf & Cassis, although at the end it shares some notes with Privet Bloom.
Cape of Good Hope is long lasting and warm. It reminds me in some ways of SL Un Lys -- if you likeUn Lys, try this and see what you think.

 I've tried the 4 Inekes as well. They are *okay* but I didn't feel the need to own any. (But then, nothing by Ineke works for me.) I did not see any Lostmarc'h, though. And the last time I was in the store nearest us-- yesterday, in fact-- there were few perfumes of any brand.

They do in Canada. Can't say for sure about other locations. They are on the US website though. Lostmarch was definitely my favorite house, even though I was only able to sniff the caps.

Maybe my definition of niche is different. I just associate niche with anything that's not designer.

Might be YMMV, but you could always call to check

Thanks a lot for the reviews. I guess the selection does vary depending on the location.

Everytime I see what fragrances are available at this store, I am unimpressed and bored. Nothing to get excited about here.
