Fragrances "unisex" - perfumes for women and men

Unisex perfumes - these universal fragrances are suitable for both men and women, so no matter who you are - a man or a woman, it is convenient to have at least a couple of such fragrances in your collection, on occasion you can share the perfume with your girlfriend or friend.

Although in Russia, perfumery is for the most part a purely female weapon of seduction. A rare man understands fragrances and attaches significant importance to the choice of eau de toilette or cologne, and this is easily explained - fragrances are more important for girls, because girls have more developed emotionality, which is more exposed to outside influences.

So, universal perfumery, fragrances suitable for both men and women.

The history of these fragrances is as follows - in the ancient world and in the Middle Ages, no special distinctions were made in perfumery. The fragrances were not classified as male or female.

In those distant times, in addition to aesthetic purposes, fragrances were often used with medical purposes - it was believed that some scents protect from insects, others from scabies, headaches and even from the plague. Therefore, men in those ancient times sometimes used fragrances as needed, in the hope of solving some problems.

And the most "perfumery" man was the French king Louis XIV, he was very fond of fragrances. But around the beginning of the 19th century, the division of perfumery began, many men abandoned the use of fragrances altogether, considering it sufficient to have a natural body odor washed with soap. As a result, perfumery developed mainly thanks to women, who became the main consumers of fragrances.

Perfume manufacturers were not upset - women always want variety, are open to innovations, they are ready for frequent and substantial expenses, guided by the rule - beauty requires sacrifice! Taking into account the peculiarities of women of that time, the creators of women's perfumery sought to emphasize tenderness, sensuality, fragility and grace, while in colognes for men, which were not particularly diverse, the emphasis was on strength, energy and dynamism.

The situation began to change in the second half of the 20th century, when new business principles were consolidated. Manufacturing companies used more and more means to influence the consciousness of the population in order to make as many people as possible their customers. There were more and more fragrances aimed exclusively at men.

In parallel with the development of business empires in the field of beauty, society also changed. The woman became freer and freer, gradually taking away the last remnants of the wardrobe from the man, putting on and adapting for herself whatever she wanted.

Perfumes aimed at sensual and vulnerable beauties were no longer suitable for such women. More and more new aromas appeared. But men also changed, many became more feminine, and in turn demanded something new for themselves.

Against the backdrop of these changes in society, perfume companies have found it profitable to offer consumers universal fragrances suitable for men and women.

Unisex fragrances are a symbol of our time, a reflection of the contradictions of modern society. Although if you remember the history, you can see - before the fragrances did not differ for women and men, so the current "unisex" fragrances are a kind of return to the origins.

Ideally, it is generally necessary to eliminate the difference and not divide the fragrances into male and female. I know men who use women's fragrances, and it suits them perfectly.

In conclusion, I want to note that we should not forget that each perfume sounds different on our skin. The smell from Alina will be slightly different from that of Karina, so you should not be surprised if the "unisex" perfumery will have certain signs of a masculine or feminine scent on your skin.
