? Bonus: How to Choose a Unisex Perfume
If you're new to unisex scents, here are some tips:
Go by note preference, not gender: Love white musk, amber, or citrus? Look for perfumes built around those.
Try layering with women’s fragrance oils or oud and musk oils to create a personalized signature.
Eau de Parfum (EDP) tends to last longer and have more depth.
Test on skin—not just a paper strip. Unisex perfumes react differently based on body chemistry.
