At MAISON 21G, we proudly lead the charge in breaking down stereotypes within the perfume industry. As the first bespoke house of perfumery, we empower individuals to express their creativity, dismantling preconceived notions that floral notes are only for women and fougère scents belong exclusively to men. Imagine a man exuding confidence with a tobacco-rose blend or a woman radiating elegance with sandalwood and bergamot. We celebrate genderless perfumery as the ultimate freedom of self-expression, inviting everyone to create a fragrance that truly reflects their personality.

What Are Gender-Neutral Fragrances And Why Are They Gaining Popularity?

Gender-neutral fragrances, also known as unisex perfumes or non-gendered scents, challenge traditional norms by avoiding associations with masculinity or femininity. These fragrances are crafted to appeal to all genders, prioritizing the essence of the scent over societal labels.

In a world that celebrates individuality, genderless fragrances align with modern values of inclusivity and self-expression. They often feature balanced notes—citrus, woods, aromatic, spices, leather and florals—that transcend gendered stereotypes, making them universally appealing.

Examples Of Gender-Neutral Notes

• Citrus and ozonic notes (Bergamot, Rhubarb, Lime, Mandarin, Ocean) for freshness and good mood
• Aromatic (Sage and Lavender)
• Woody (Sandalwood, Cedar, Cashmere Wood, Vetiver) for depth and vibrant sensuality 
• Florals (Rose, Jasmine, Muguet) for elegance and sophistication
• Spices (Cardamom, Ginger, Cinnamon, Amber, Havana and Tobacco notes) for intrigue and daring
• Leather and Fir Balsam for boldness and distinction

The Benefits Of Choosing A Gender-Neutral Fragrance

1. Inclusivity And Freedom

Gender-neutral perfumes invite everyone to embrace scents without restriction. They provide the freedom to wear what resonates with your personality, not societal expectations.

2. Versatility And Balance

These fragrances strike a harmonious balance, making them ideal for any occasion, mood, or outfit. Whether you prefer a bold sandalwood or a delicate mimosa, there’s a gender-neutral option for you.

3. Breaking Boundaries

Choosing a unisex fragrance is a statement of individuality. It’s about celebrating who you are, rather than conforming to outdated marketing norms.

Popular Unisex Fragrances

The rise of unisex perfumes has seen the emergence of iconic, genderless fragrances loved by all. Some of the most renowned options include:

• CK One by Calvin Klein: The oldest one! A timeless classic that introduced unisex fragrances to the mainstream with its fresh citrus and clean musky notes and a lot of hedione!
• Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana: A Mediterranean-inspired scent with invigorating citrus, green apple, and woody vibrant undertones. Zero floral notes. The first Citrus woody fragrances that was a huge success among men and women,
• Santal 33 by Le Labo: A cult favorite blending sandalwood, cardamom, and leather for a warm, smoky allure that has become a worldwide success.
• Byredo’s Gypsy Water: A woody ozonic fragrance with hints of bergamot, juniper, ocean and vanilla.
• Diptyque’s Philosykos: A fig-based fragrance that evokes the essence of a sunny Mediterranean grove that was traditionally used in candles and home scent and become super popular as Fine fragrance in France and later all around the world. It is the reference for the first Fig perfume!

At MAISON 21G, we’ve created a collection that embodies this revolution:

1. Vetiver Virtuoso: A bold blend of earthy vetiver and spicy ginger. Perfect for adventurers.
2. Mimosa Mantra: A radiant mix of mimosa and bergamot, capturing effortless elegance and soft fresh notes
3. Oud Outshine: Rich and mysterious, with smoky and animalic undertone. A bold statement for sure!
