For every season and every gender, these unisex perfumes will help you stand out from the crowd.
These days, the world of beauty and fashion is becoming less defined by labels, with more brands offering gender-neutral designs and plus-sized options. The same can be said for perfume houses, as they listen to users who want to express their individuality rather than gender. Whether you’re shopping for something fresh and woody or looking for something delightfully unique, our curated list of unique unisex perfumes have you covered.
Unisex perfumes that we can’t get enough of
1. Calvin Klein: CK One
The first marketed unisex perfume to gain mainstream popularity, CK One has been a bestseller since its initial release in the 90s. With top notes of pineapple, orange, papaya, bergamote, lemon, and more, this fresh, clean scent seeks to harmonise the feminine and the masculine. It’s often said that fashion is cyclical, and it couldn’t be more evident with the resurgence of unisex perfumes, and as younger scent connoisseurs saying hello to CK One, once again.

3. Maison Margiela: Replica By The Fireplace
Maison Margiela’s line of all-gender fragrances certainly does not fall short of expectations. With over 10 different scents to nose through in the Replica line, we’ve made life a little easier for you with our recommendation: By The Fireplace. This eau de toilette is for those who prefer a woodier scent; and with the notes of pink pepper essence, chestnut accord, woody ambery, and more, you’ll be immersed in warm aromas of burning wood and chestnuts. With each Replica fragrance designed to elicit cherished memories, By The Fireplace will take you back in front of a roaring fire in the middle of winter.
Maison Margiela has multiple locations across Hong Kong.
4. Glossier: Glossier You
Although Glossier may initially seem like a more feminine brand, its Glossier You eau de parfum has been lauded as an amazing unisex perfume. Formulated completely cruelty-free and vegan, Glossier You contains base notes of pink pepper and iris with a slightly sweet base. It’s designed as a “skin-scent enhancer”, meaning that it’s meant to smell slightly different on everyone. A truly personal scent, Glossier You help makes a bit more of you shine through.

5. Jo Malone London: Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne
Don’t let the word “cologne” throw you off – Jo Malone’s scents are designed to be unisex and more than deliver with every sniff. Among the wide selection, the Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne is definitely a favourite of ours. Taking you onto a windswept shore, the fresh sea salt air and earthy woodiness of the rugged surroundings will diffuse around you. With notes of ambrette seeds, sea salt, and sage, the Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne can be worn alone or paired with other products to enhance specific notes.
Jo Malone London has multiple locations across Hong Kong.
6. Le Labo: Bergamote 22
A star that continues to rise in the fragrance world, the NYC-bred brand Le Labo touts that all of its scents are unisex. While the Santal 33 fragrance has gained a cult following in recent years, we’re pushing the Bergamote 22 for its less musky notes. With delicate floral notes in addition to grapefruit, amber, and vetiver, Bergamote 22 is a fresh and slightly sweet unisex perfume. Pro-tip: Get your Le Labo fragrance at a physical “lab” to watch your perfume get mixed, bottled, and ready for your personal message to be inscribed on the label.
Le Labo has multiple locations across Hong Kong.
