Best Unisex Fragrances

Unisex fragrances skip the his-and-hers marketing and focus on the scent itself. Woods, musks, citrus, amber, tea and oud dominate, and many of the most admired modern perfumes are made to be shared.

These are the best-rated unisex fragrances in the SCNTMIX catalog, with the accords that define each one.

Questions

What makes a fragrance unisex?

Nothing chemical: it's a style. Unisex fragrances usually avoid the most gendered accords (very sweet florals or sharp blue freshness) and lean on woods, musks, citrus, amber, spice or resins.

Can men wear women's perfume?

Yes. Fragrance has no gender. If you like how it smells on you, wear it. Unisex picks are an easy place to start.

How does SCNTMIX build this list?

Every fragrance comes from the SCNTMIX catalog. We filter by main accords (derived from each fragrance's note pyramid) or by house, then order by profile rating, how widely searched and worn the fragrance is, and longevity. No house pays to be included, and the list updates as profiles are added.
