Who says perfume was constrained to one gender?

Whatever your preference, here are six unisex perfumes from renowned brands like Guerlain, Dior, Tom Ford, and more. From soft vanilla notes to bold oud and refreshing citrus, there’s something for everyone here.

Created by renowned perfumers Delphine Jelk and Thierry Wasser, Guerlain pushes the envelope and reveals the unique notes that vanilla can offer when it’s concentrated. Boasting spiced and musky notes at the base, it finely blends with the sweet fragrance of vanilla—making it perfect for date nights when it’s cold outside.

For when you want to be daring, Louis Vuitton’s Myriad—as its name suggests—gives a flurry of scents to enjoy. From the first spray to the dry-down, you’ll experience saffron as a top note with the oud revealing itself in the background. While most would say that oud is too strong of a scent for their tastes, one must trust Jacques Cavallier’s masterful alchemy with the ingredient.

Tom Ford Vanilla Sex

A staple scent among many perfumers, vanilla tends to be overlooked as ordinary by many. Those who try Tom Ford’s Vanilla Sex know that the ingredient can be elevated to new heights—adding confidence to a delicate fragrance. With notes of bitter almond, vanilla, and sandalwood, Ford wants you to take bold strokes while exuding sensual elegance.
