Unisex fragrances: 5 safe bets to try as decants
Gone are the days when perfumes were divided into two categories. The finest niche fragrances defy gender and are worn according to your mood, not labels. Here are five essential unisex perfumes, from clean musk to smoky oud, all available as decants so you can test them before committing.
What is a unisex perfume?
A unisex, or gender-neutral, perfume is designed to be worn by anyone. It relies on universal accords—wood, musk, spices, citrus—that enhance the skin rather than conforming to a stereotype. Today, it is one of the most creative areas in niche perfumery.
