Scent Spectrum: A Perfume Range For Every Identity
While perfumes are grouped into men’s and women’s fragrances, scent preference is not necessarily tied to gender. In fact, many perfumes are unisex and can be worn by anyone. Gender-neutral fragrances have been growing in popularity, with a younger generation open to breaking traditional gender norms. Here are some of the best unisex perfumes to try.
Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin
Lime Basil & Mandarin is one of Jo Malone’s most popular scents. It is a unisex fragrance with notes of lime, basil, and mandarin orange. It is a citrus aromatic fragrance that was launched in 1999. It is a great choice for anyone who wants to smell clean and fresh. It opens with a refreshing burst of lime that is perfect for waking up in the mornings. Then, the lime notes turn into a herbal green tone that is enhanced by basil. This tone is followed by a citrus note and then dried down into a classic base of patchouli and vetiver.
Try our Lime Basil & Mandarin Reed Diffuser to fill your home with this modern classic scent. This luxury reed diffuser comes with 10 rattan reeds that will release the scent continuously for 4-5 months.
Le Labo Another Magazine
The fragrance that originated with the collaboration between Le Labo and AnOther Magazine, Another 13 evokes a subtle, enchanting scent only those closest to you can detect. A finely-tuned blend of ambergris, musk, jasmine, pear, and cedarwood, it encapsulates the irresistibly hypnotic essence of naturally emitted personal scents.
Historically, men perfumes have been grouped into specific gender categories to help customers find their ideal match quickly. But at Le Labo, scents are liberated from these constraints. They are christened with their key ingredients (think Bergamote 22, Santal 33, and Baie 19) which transcends gender.
Moreover, each perfume is housed in unique vessels that were inspired by world-renowned artists, allowing the bottle to tell its own story. It’s a mindset of wabi-sabi, which echoes the brand’s fascination with slow, patient process and love for handmade beauty.
Louis Vuitton Cactus Garden
Cactus Garden is a citrus aromatic fragrance for women and men. It was launched by Louis Vuitton in 2019. This is a fresh, cologne-like scent that is perfect for summer.
The fragrance opens with lemon peel and bergamot aromas. There is also a tart lime green mint note as well. After that, the scent evolves into a dry leafy mate tea aroma. The fragrance is very easy to wear and has a clean, refreshing scent.
The fragrance is part of the Les Colognes Louis Vuitton line, which was created by women perfumes Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The collection consists of three fresh, cologne-like fragrances. The packaging features designs by LA-based artist Alex Israel. The fragrances are available in 100 and 200 ml Eau de Parfum bottles.
Flooid by Non Gender Specific
Flooid is a warm and earthy fragrance with a fresh twist. It’s a hymn to purity both in its structure and experience, blending together natural ingredients to create an organic aroma that encapsulates the senses and transports you to a place of solace and simplicity.
The brand’s focus on ingredient transparency and sustainability are reflected in their packaging, which is made with tree-less paper infused with wildflower seeds that can be planted to reduce waste. They also use an ancient method of ceramic firing, called Shuili Snake Kiln, to make their products. FLOOID HOM, their luxury candle, complements the genderless perfume and features top notes of saffron and Asian eucalyptus, middle notes of rose, geranium, and violet, and base notes of cedarwood and pine bark.

The perfume is accompanied by base notes of rose, amberwood and oud to make it long-lasting and lingering.
Wrapping It Up
While men’s perfume and women’s colognes may seem like an arbitrary distinction, it’s true that fragrance has something to do with gender. Thankfully, in recent years, there has been a rise in fragrances that don’t have the traditional men’s and women’s label.
