We believe that you can never have enough perfume, so here are five stand-out unisex fragrances for every season
These days, fragrance is becoming less defined by gender as perfume houses realise that users want to express their individuality. Whether you are shopping for something fresh and woody (like Hwyl from Aesop) or looking for something delightfully unique (like the gorgeous first range from French house Cire Trudon), we’ve curated this list of unique unisex fragrances especially for you.
Unisex fragrances that we can’t get enough of
Bibliotheque Eau de Parfum by Byredo
Bibliotheque has long been the most popular scented candle ever created by Byredo, and for a limited time it is available as an Eau de Parfum. Harnessing the fragrance of leather-bound books, dark wood shelves and paper and ink, this is the perfect scent for those of us who like nothing more than escaping with a good book. This is one of our fave unisex fragrances, and hunting down a bottle will definitely be worth your while.

Trio of fragrances by Starck Paris
Design legend Philippe Starck has created a trio of unisex fragrances that follow his love for beauty in simplicity. The three perfumes are designed to sit together, with a sculpture being formed throughout the bottles when they are all aligned. Peau de Soie is slightly seductive with its woody and vegetable notes; Peau d’Ailleurs is earthy thanks to its musk and amber notes; and Peau de Pierre is mysterious, featuring a smoky finish.

Much Ado About The Duke by Penhaligon’s
From the Portraits Collection by Penhaligon’s that tells the story of an aristocratic family with some dark secrets, Much Ado About The Duke looks as good as it smells. Represented by a quirky hound, the fictional Duke Nelson married the most coveted girl in London, yet is said to be totally eccentric and whimsical. The fragrance is floral with base notes of leathery wood, and the bottle is topped off by a hound’s head made from brass.

Black Afgano by Nasomatto
Packaged in a stunning bottle that allows the black colour of the perfume to be shown off against the glass, Black Afgano conjures up feelings of mystery and intrigue. The scent itself is inspired by the exotic fragrances of the Middle East and has been crafted to reference the allure of hashish – naughty!
