This season is all about introducing the fresh and sunny into our lives. And when it comes to beauty, there’s no better way to accomplish a spring-clean feeling than with a scent reset! If you’re looking for a new ultra-wearable, seasonal signature scent, we have you and your partner covered. Whether you want to smell like a springtime power couple or you’re just looking for a less feminine floral for the season, these unisex spring fragrances are the perfect choice!
Genderless Scent Notes
When it comes to scent families, we’re firm believers that anything can be gender-neutral. Men smell amazing in vanilla, for example. And women can easily wear green or ambery scents. That said, a few spring scent notes stand out across male and female markets. These unisex scents are common inclusions in perfumes and colognes and are a key part of creating a springtime scent.
- Citrus Scents: Notes like bergamot and lemon are the zesty introduction to spring that anyone can wear.
- Light Florals: For florals that men and women can wear, think sheer and light scents like jasmine, honeysuckle or iris.
- Green Notes: Grassy vetiver and clean-smelling green tea are favorites for unisex spring fragrances.
New Launches, Classic Favorites
Unisex spring fragrances have to walk a fine line. Usually aiming for a fresh impression, these scents have to carefully balance the inclusion of traditionally feminine or masculine notes. Too sweet or powdery, and you won’t appeal to male wearers. Too musky or grassy, and you might put off women looking for a wearable spring scent.
The result is captivating and carefully constructed fragrances that forefront genderless scents like solar and citrus notes.
Chanel’s Paris Riviera ($165), for example, has a reputation for its luminous, joyful notes that anyone can easily associate with springtime. Sicilian orange and neroli craft a landscape on the river-side, and the uplifting scent is perfect for women or men looking for a seasonal pick-me-up. In new launches, Bvlgari’s reformulated Eau Parfumée Thé Vert Eau de Toilette ($164) uses young green tea leaves to introduce an earthy sweetness that appeals to any gender. Bright bergamot and lemon bring a sunny quality to the fragrance that wears like a blanket of springtime.
