15 of the Best Gender Neutral Fragrances

While fragrances were once clearly split between ‘his’ and ‘hers’, a new generation of perfumers have decided to break free of such ‘pink’ and ‘blue’ pigeonholes. Just as it seems ridiculous today that wristwatches were once for women only, so too the age-old stereotypes about certain aromas are fast on their way to obsolescence.

With that in mind, then, we've browsed unisex perfumes and gathered together the best gender-neutral fragrances available today.

That's because the cedar-evoking scent blends with your natural pheromones to create an aroma that's both unisex and entirely unique to you.
