Over the past decade, I have witnessed a revolution in the perfume world: unisex fragrances have transformed from a niche phenomenon into a mainstream market trend. As a perfume analyst certified by the CPLF (Comité Français du Parfum), I can confirm that 2025 was a turning point. Just at the Riv Gosh chain, the bestseller Tiziana Terenzi Kirkè sold 150,000 bottles — a figure unimaginable for gender-neutral perfumes just three years ago [1].

Statistics confirming the trend

Growth in demand by 24 %According to Mintel data (September 2024 – August 2025) for gourmet compositions, often positioned as unisex [1]
Perfumes topped the list of queries. On TikTok and Google with 172,800 impressions per year, where the unisex direction became the key driver [1]
At “Golden Apple,” they note a shift from gender division to the concept of fragrance as a “personal business card” – 68% of buyers are under 30 years old They choose perfumes solely based on the character of the notes [1].

Expert Opinion: Why Borders Are Disappearing

“Woody notes, green accords, mineral tones – they are not tied to gender, but create an impressive aura of individuality,” explains the lead perfumer of Essential Parfums in an interview with BURO [1].

This is also confirmed by Serge Lutens: “When you smell a rose in the garden – do you think about gender? In the 19th century, English dandies used rose oils as a symbol of elegance” [kosmetista.ru].

The technological breakthrough also stimulates the trend. Modern molecular compositions like Escentric 01 contain Iso E Super – a synthetic component that adapts to the skin, creating a unique scent trail beyond gender boundaries [blog.bp.ua].

Top 3 Trends in Unisex Perfumery 2025

Wood-Mineral Symphonies: Bois Impérial (Essential Parfums) and Creed Aventus dominate sales thanks to the combination of vetiver, patchouli, and ambroxan – notes associated with strength and charisma [1][3].
Neogourmanika: Nutty chords in the new Zielinski & Rozen Amberwood and vegetable notes in Orto Parisi Risvelium are displacing traditional sweet gourmand compositions [5].
Aquatic unisex hybrids: Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum by Ex Nihilo, with marine and floral notes, has become the hit of the season thanks to its 12-hour longevity [5].

Why is this not a temporary trend?

Based on the analysis of 500+ sales cases, I identify the key reasons for sustained demand:

Cultural shift

75% of millennials consider gender labels in perfumery outdated (Spate research)

Expert forecast: By 2030, the share of unisex fragrances on the market will reach 40%, compared to the current 22%. New releases such as Guerlain Peche Mirage with peach and musky notes confirm that the era of “fragrances for him/her” is coming to an end [5].

“Unisex is not a lack of character, but freedom of self-expression,” summarizes Elena Knezevich, a perfume critic for Fragrantica. As practice shows, it is precisely such fragrances that become iconic: Fleur Narcotique by Ex Nihilo, created in 2021, still ranks among the top 5 bestsellers in the luxury segment.
