Woody notes for him, floral scents for her? Not everyone subscribes to this olfactory stereotype. In the Middle East, for example, men and women alike love rose notes in their fragrance and oud notes in their perfume.
Today we invite you to discover unisex perfume. A perfume made for her and for him!
What’s a Unisex Perfume?
A unisex perfume is defined as a fragrance that fits the female’s wardrobe as well as the male’s wardrobe. Unisex perfumes are fragrances that most often combine woody scents, which are more masculine, with flowery and powdery scents, which are more feminine. In addition, this association often makes it possible to obtain a light result.
Moreover, as other mixed essences are based on marine and very fresh accords, they are embellished with peppermint or rosemary, ingredients that are just as popular with women as they are with men.
Finally, scents that are fruity or spicy are also difficult to classify into a particular genre, so we associate them with unisex perfume.
The Origins of Unisex Fragrances
Amidst the boom of modern perfumery, the Guerlain house launched in 1889 a creation with a mysterious name: Jicky. Jicky was the name of Aimé Guerlain's childhood sweetheart, but also the diminutive of her nephew’s name, Jacques.
This complex fragrance highlights an oriental and spicy fragrance with vanilla and lavender, but also precious woods. A real mix of genres! Created for women, this perfume also seduced gentlemen. It is still considered today as the first unisex fragrance in the history of perfume.
In modern times, unisex fragrances made another appearance in the 90s with the famous designer Calvin Klein. He developed the genre in 1995 with the appearance of the emblematic CK One. As expected, CK One immediately appealed to a whole generation. It met with immense success and its notes of bergamot, pineapple and spices sold 15 million bottles in just one year!
A true success story, CK One unisex cologne paved the way for many other unisex scents.
