Ever since the first unisex perfume appeared in the nineties — the iconic CK One by Calvin Klein — the evolution of gender-free fragrances has never stopped. And let me be completely honest with you: in 2026 there are elegant unisex perfume options that would have been unthinkable at these prices just a few years ago.
Ultimately, scents are perceptions that aren’t directly tied to masculinity or femininity. The classic idea that floral perfumes were only for women and intense ones exclusively for men has gradually faded, giving way to new olfactory experiences that work just as beautifully on any skin.
What Makes a Unisex Perfume Special?
A great unisex perfume isn’t simply one that “doesn’t smell masculine or feminine”. It’s one that works on any skin and any occasion with equal elegance. They tend to have balanced notes: some freshness or citrus in the top notes, a complex heart (floral, spiced, leather) and a woody or musky base that anchors the scent.
Limiting a fragrance to a specific gender reduces its reach and, above all, robs you of discovering incredible scents. That’s precisely why unisex perfumes have been so swiftly embraced.
The Best Luxury Unisex Perfume and Its DIVAIN Equivalent
Among the most elegant options stands out DIVAIN-250, equivalent to Ombré Leather by Tom Ford. This is a sensual, warm and thoroughly glamorous fragrance that perfectly embodies what we’re looking for in a classy unisex perfume.
Its notes: spiced cardamom in the top, Sambac jasmine in the heart, and leather, patchouli, white moss and warm amber in the base. The result is a perfume that reflects the glamorous spirit of contemporary design and leaves nobody indifferent. A bold, enveloping and sophisticated fragrance that invites you to discover the luxury of the different.
The original Ombré Leather by Tom Ford costs around £200 for 100 ml. DIVAIN-250 is yours for a fraction of that price. Spoiler alert: you’re going to fall in love.

Frequently Asked Questions About Unisex Perfumes
Do unisex perfumes smell the same on men and women?
Not exactly. Everyone’s skin chemistry is different, so the same perfume can evolve in different ways depending on who’s wearing it. That’s part of the magic: the same bottle, two unique scents.
Are unisex perfumes more expensive?
Designer ones, yes: brands like Tom Ford or Maison Francis Kurkdjian charge £200 or more. That’s precisely why dupe perfumes make so much sense: the same olfactory accord, at an accessible price.
What is the best-selling unisex perfume at DIVAIN?
DIVAIN-611 (equivalent to Baccarat Rouge 540) and DIVAIN-196 (equivalent to Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford) are among the most popular in the unisex category.
