The typical unisex fragrance, there are some neutral notes here
A typically masculine fragrance contains woody and spicy notes, whereas a feminine fragrance is described as powdery, fruity and floral. Unisex, on the other hand, means that different nuances are combined to create a neutral fragrance experience. Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules, niche fragrances such as Afnan or Al Haramain are popular and well-known unisex fragrances that have already established themselves on the market.
However, there is a special feature here, as the perfume blends with its wearer and thus manages to bring out the perfect note in each individual person. Many consumers wrongly assume that unisex perfumes will simply make everyone smell the same in future. This is a misconception, as the creation of one's own scent and perfume develops on the skin and is then perceived as a very special fragrance.
Every skin is full of tiny fungi, organisms, viruses, bacteria and fats, which are combined with the perfume to create an individual note. The water and oil content of the skin also play a role in determining which individual fragrance note develops in the end. Each perfume is sometimes composed of more than 100 different individual fragrances. When they reach the skin, their building blocks combine with the skin's own structure. On oily skin, the molecules can be spread more effectively, whereas on dry skin they are less effective.
Why can a unisex perfume be the right choice?
There is a kind of democracy in the perfume market. The individual choice of the right perfume is very personal and should not be made dependent on gender. The wearer and the wearer are united with themselves and their fragrance all day long, so it is primarily a matter of personal taste. It must smell appealing to the user, not be categorized according to gender norms.
There are some women who like a masculine-smelling perfume because they want to emphasize their femininity and at the same time exude a dominant and strong note. Men, on the other hand, are also well served with feminine citrus fragrances in spring and summer to emphasize the lightness of being.
Fragrance is not a matter of gender
The Byredo brand from Sweden is now one of the most renowned perfume brands not only in its home country, but also in Germany. Founder Ben Gorham, who grew up in Toronto with a Canadian father and an Indian mother, decided to create perfumes after studying art.
This took him on a mental journey back to his childhood. In his birthplace in India, it was the scents of incense and spices that enchanted him and instilled in him a love of oriental aromas. At the same time, however, he also blended his Nordic penchant for minimalism into his fragrances, resulting in Byredo, one of the most important niche fragrance brands of modern times.
His compositions are simple and give the wearer the opportunity to unleash their very own scent. Minimalism is a ubiquitous trend and the brand proves that it also has a role to play as a fragrance.
Equality is becoming more important than ever
Is it the end of gender differences? After all, it has been shown that an enormous transformation has taken place over the last 50 years. The classic categorization of gender roles into man and woman is no longer as present as it was decades ago. The focus has shifted to the individual, with all their idiosyncrasies and personal needs.
This change has not gone unnoticed by perfumers and established niches are now becoming standards. The desire to share a fragrance with a partner of the opposite sex, not to be pigeonholed into one gender and to live freely, favors the popularity of gender-independent perfumes.
Also suitable as a gift
Due to their neutrality, unisex perfumes are ideal as gifts. If you are not sure what the other person really prefers or which style of fragrance is suitable, you can't go wrong with a unisex fragrance. In this way, etiquette is maintained, as the gift is equally suitable for both sexes, even if the person receiving the gift may not feel that they belong to their biological sex.
The unisex fragrance is perfect for bringing one's own personality to the fore and not being guided by conventions and regulations. Many users combine their fragrances with the feeling of the day. They can wear a classic men's fragrance one day and a unisex perfume the next.
Conclusion: unisex perfumes are universal and pleasant
Their universal applicability makes unisex perfumes a real highlight. They suit every type, can be an enrichment for women and men and can even be used together by couples. It quickly becomes apparent that despite a clear fragrance note, the nuance varies from wearer to wearer.
