What is a unisex perfume?

There is nothing in the formula that restricts a fragrance to a particular gender. Woody, amber, aromatic or citrus notes are simply more often presented as unisex than sweet floral or very distinctive leather scents. The best guide is still your personal taste – and your skin.

By family

For a warm, enveloping fragrance, try woody or oriental scents. For a fresh scent, try citrus scents. For a soft, sweet signature scent, try gourmand scents.

Frequently asked questions

Does a unisex fragrance smell the same on a woman as it does on a man?

The composition is the same. Like any perfume, it changes slightly depending on the individual’s skin (body heat, moisture levels).

How does it differ from a ‘men’s’ fragrance?

No technical rules: that is the approach the company has chosen to take.

Is it appropriate to give a unisex perfume as a gift?

It’s often the safest option when you don’t know the person’s tastes. A 10 ml bottle or a sample minimises the risk.
