Best Smelling Unisex Fragrances 2016

by

There are many fragrances out their built specifically for men or woman and the opposite sex wearing these scents can seem quite out of place. However, there are also plenty of great unisex perfumes for ladies and gentleman, that not only smell good but also perform well in a variety of life situations. For this post, I wanted to explore some of the best smelling unisex fragrances on the market today. This is by no means a complete list of your options but this is a great place to start. As usual, I have linked each selection out to its Amazon page for more info and ease of purchase.

 

Calvin Klein ck one Eau de Toilette, 6.7 fl. oz.
CK One is a part of the unisex fragrances that Calvin Klein has released and the most popular of them all.  Notes of papaya, pineapple, and jasmine give it a intriguing sweetness while the green tea and amber add warm layers to its simple base.  My Review of CK One

BE Perfume for Unisex new in box 6.7 FL OZ./200 ML.
Another choice fragrance from the unisex line. CK Be features floral and fruity notes with an undercurrent of musk. It’s a light fragrance that still commands notice. Full Review

Creed Virgin Island Water by Creed Eau De Parfum Spray for Unisex, 4 Ounce This Creed scent is like summertime in a bottle. Lime, coconut, and rum are the highlights and the smooth/creamy coconut is the main note during the drydown. Great stuff. If you want a cheaper alternative (that isn’t as good but similar) try Tommy Bahama St. Barts.

 

Bond No 9 New Haarlem Cologne, 3.4 Ounce
This bold scent was one of the originals released in 2003 and still maintains it uniqueness to this very day. Lavender, bergmot, coffee, and cedar notes is a great choice for those who like to cause a stir.

 

Eau De Cartier By Cartier For Men and Women, Eau De Toilette Spray, 6.75-Ounce Bottle
This is a unisex fragrance, so it won’t be a good choice for guys who want something wholly masculine. However, this is a good and light choice for those who like a citrus based fragrance that settles down into something more earthy. Best Cartier Colognes for Men

Bond No.9 Bleecker Street Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.3 Ounce
Bleeker Street is a fantastic fragrance designed to invoke standing in a NYC pastry shop. Sounds weird, right? Don’t worry because the scent is simply great.  Sweet sort of parfum that can settle into something with a hint of spice to it. Categorized as a perfume for women but it is more unisex and can be worn anytime.

Tobacco Vanille– Warm fragrance that is quite heavy and projects a whole lot. It’s not for everybody, despite being unisex, as it is such an enormous scent.

 

THIERRY MUGLER COLOGNE by Thierry Mugler EDT SPRAY 3.4 OZ

A summertime fragrance that is light, green, soapy, and a little musky. It’s so fresh and clean and perfect for a daily wear.

Justin Bieber Best Perfumes: Top 3 Beiber Fragrances

Justin Bieber has been a massively popular pop act among teen girls for the most part of this current decade. Since he has such a large and loyal following among this younger set, he naturally releases products that cater to their tastes. One such product line is his line of perfumes for ladies. In this post, I want to present the three best options that he has released thus far. Each of these perfumes is linked out to its page on Amazon for further reviews and ease of purchase.


Justin Bieber Someday, Eau De Parfum Spray,100ml/3.4 oz.

A fruity and sweet perfume aimed at high school aged girls. Vanilla, berries, pear, mandarin, and other floral notes combine to create something smooth and vibrant. Inexpensive and girly type of scent.

Something a bit more mature and sexier. The musk note gives it an underlying sense of sophistication to go along with similar fruity and floral notes as Someday. A sweet vanilla/floral with musk.

Strawberry, orange, blackberry, and pear create a luscious scent that is sweet and sugary.

Versace Versus for Women Perfume Review

by

When I received a shipment of cologne samples not too long ago, one of the vials that I ordered turned out to be a woman’s fragrance, Versace Versus. As such, rather than simply toss it our or give this sample away, I decided that I would wear it myself and post a review of this scent. Sure, I’m not the target demographic for this perfume but I still think I can adequately relate my experiences with it in this post.

It seems that Versace reintroduced Versus again, after its initial run in the 1990s. I cannot seem to pin down exactly what notes are in this perfume, as I have seen multiple listings of ingredients.

However, I do detect orange and other floral notes in its composition. Overall, I would classify this as a citrus/floral mix, which gives the perfume an overall brightness and a sharp quality to it.

Upon applying Versus, I first noticed that it hits pretty hard initially. The citrus notes have the most impact, right out of the gate, but it does settle down within an hour of use.

Secondly, while I would characterize this scent as feminine, it isn’t ‘girly’ at all in my opinion. As a man, I feel like I can wear it and it wouldn’t feel completely out of place on me.

It’s not totally unisex like something such as, CK One, but it does seem to skew the borders of unisex against the totally feminine.

I actually like this scent, as it has a nice and positive energy to it. I found that it turned more floral as time wore on but the citrus notes hung around and provided Versus with a clean heart.

Also, I find that there is definitely a musk note in here as well, which adds some extra body to this perfume. Versus projects itself as a moderate fragrance after the initial application dies down a bit.

I found that I got a good 6-8 hours of use out of it, on the days when I wore it as my primary fragrance.

Overall, I think that Versus is a very lovely perfume. It is both energetic and confident, which should bode well for use in casual situations. I think it smells wonderful but I wouldn’t say it’s a seductive perfume.

As a man, I am definitely drawn to it, it is an alluring scent but not really sensual like some others would be. I’ve worn it on mild autumn days and found that it performed well but I think it would do better in slightly warmer weather…I don’t know about the depths of summer but definitely springtime.

I give Versus a positive recommendation, though while it isn’t earth shattering, it’s a solid scent all around and may be worth checking out.
