The Death of "His and Hers": How Unisex Fragrance Went Mainstream
For most of the 20th century, perfume was rigidly divided: florals for women, woods and spices for men. That wall has crumbled. Over the past several years, gender-neutral and unisex fragrance has moved from niche to mainstream, with major and independent houses alike releasing scents designed for everyone.
The shift reflects broader cultural change — younger consumers reject the idea that scent should be dictated by gender. It's also freeing from a pure fragrance standpoint: some of the most beautiful compositions blend traditionally "masculine" woods with "feminine" florals, and limiting them by gender never made olfactory sense.
This is liberating for you as a wearer. The right fragrance is simply the one that smells incredible on your skin — full stop.
Many scents in our Sélectif Collection wear beautifully on anyone. Oud Fantastic (woody leathery), Molecule Tobacco (citrus woody), and Pepper Glamour (oriental spicy) all transcend gender labels entirely.
