If you’re in the market for a new fragrance suitable for her/him/them, try incorporating a gender fluid scent into your collection. As beauty brands are incorporating a more inclusive, gender neutral element into their beauty repertoire, a once niche fragrance sub-faction has become more full-bodied in the ever-evolving modern-day beautysphere. Here is a collection of gender fluid fragrances to please the nose (but perhaps, not the wallet):
Not only does Paco Rabanne’s Phantom (starting at Dhs335, Sephora) deserve a visible and coveted spot on your vanity, but this scent is one you will not be able to stop spritzing. With notes of dreamy lavender, vitalising lemon, and sultry vanilla, this addictive scent brings a feeling of otherworldy confidence to everyone. We love the staying power of this eco-conscious fragrance and it’s sleek design.
Beloved Maison Francis Kurkdijan, just relaunched their gender fluid fragrances collection, Gentle Fluidity: Same Notes, Two Identities (Dhs1670, Bloomingdales). The concept behind these two eau de parfums is to create two perfume formulas with the same ingredients, However, the scents differ as they contain different dosages of their 49 ingredients. To surpass the male and female dichotomy, the Gentle fluidity is a woody aromatic scent and the gentle Fluidity (see what they did there) is a musky oriental.
The iconic Le Labo Santal 33 Eau De Parfum (Dhs790, Bloomingdales) spearheaded the gender fluid fragrances movement with its universally pleasing notes of cardamom, iris, violet, and ambrox. With a nod to the American West, this perfume ambitiously lends to an untethered feeling of expansion with its spicy, leathery, and musky notes.
Byredo’s Mixed Emotions (Dhs685, Sephora) is designed to reflect both the internal and external tumultuous nature of our collective state of mind. Byredo’s eau de parfums are innately gender fluid fragrances, and Mixed Emotions is no exception. With notes of maté along with violet leaves and black tea, this perfume invokes a slightly sweet, woody scent.
