Unisex Perfume

Nothing in the bottle. Sandalwood, bergamot, vanilla, vetiver and amber turn up in fragrances marketed to every gender — the men's cologne and the women's eau de parfum on opposite walls of a department store usually share more materials than they don't. What differs is the packaging and which side of the shop you're told to stand on.

These are blended without a gender in mind. Not as a position on anything — when you're building a scent you're thinking about balance, projection and how it moves over eight hours on skin, and none of those questions has a gender in it. The long version, with the skin-chemistry part explained properly, is here: what makes a perfume unisex.

Every scent on this page is unisex by construction. But some move more evenly across buyers than others, and that's worth knowing before you spend $155. This is from order data, not theory.

Not sure yet? The 30-second scent finder is two questions and no jargon.

Here, yes. Cologne, eau de parfum, fragrance and scent describe strength and format, not who is allowed to wear it. If you came looking for a unisex cologne or a gender neutral perfume and landed on a page headed unisex perfume, it's the same bottle.

The one word that does mean something is concentration, and it's on every product page here. A traditional eau de cologne is the weakest category in perfumery. Everything on this page is blended at 20–25%, which is above most designer eau de parfums.

If you'd rather start somewhere narrower, Men's Cologne and Women's Perfume gather the scents each group reaches for most. They are doorways into this same range, not separate ranges — every bottle in them is on this page too.

Every scent here comes in three formats at the same concentration. It's the same blend in all three — a different carrier, for a different way of wearing it.

Perfume oil vs eau de parfum goes through it properly if you're undecided.

Longevity is almost entirely concentration — how much fragrance oil is actually in the bottle. Nothing else on a label tells you. An eau de toilette can be as low as 5%. Most designer eau de parfums sit between 15 and 20%. Everything on this page is blended at 20–25%.

That's the whole reason a Stuga scent is still there at 5pm. No trick of the blend, no clever base note — there is simply more perfume in the bottle. It also means one or two sprays is the correct dose, not a starting point.

Citrus is the hardest thing in perfumery to hold, which is why concentration matters most on the fresh and citrus shelf. The resinous ones — Oud No. 401, Amber No. 235 — will still be on a shirt collar the next day.

Seventeen bottles is a lot to scroll. If you already know the sort of thing you're after, start with a family instead.

• Woods — sandalwood, cedar, oud, vetiver, tobacco, mahogany. The family that carries the least gendered baggage of any in perfumery.
• Fresh & citrus — bergamot, grapefruit, yuzu, matcha, sea salt. Bright and clean on everyone.
• Floral — peony, rose, jasmine, orange blossom, lily of the valley. Fresh, not powdery.
• Amber, oud & spice — amber, oud, saffron, cinnamon, clove. Evenings and cold weather.
• Vanilla & sweet — vanilla, honey, spun sugar, apple, cinnamon.
• Aquatic — sea salt, sea breeze, neroli, wild fig.
• Leather & smoky — oudh wood, cured tobacco, golden amber.

10ml $35 · 30ml $95 · 50ml $155 · 100ml $300. Same strength in every size, and Buy 3 Get 1 Free across the range. Free shipping over $99, posted from the studio.

The 10ml Traveller is a full-strength spray bottle, not a sample vial — two to three weeks of daily wear. That's the honest way to choose a fragrance. First impressions off a test strip in a shop tell you almost nothing; living with a scent for a week tells you everything.

Because these are blended to order in small batches, a 100ml is no older than a 10ml. Nothing has been sitting under fluorescent light since last year.

One person, in a studio in Moss Vale in the Southern Highlands of NSW. The blending, the filling and the labelling all happen there, by the same person who packs your order. Not white-labelled, not imported and relabelled, not decanted from someone else's drum.

What isn't claimed: that every material is grown here. Fragrance materials come from reputable suppliers around the world, the same as every perfume house in the country. Australian on this page means made here, by hand.

Every scent is vegan and cruelty-free — no animal-derived musks, ambergris or fixatives. It is not a claim that every molecule is plant-derived; modern perfumery uses synthetics because some of the best materials can't be pulled out of a plant at all, and because the natural alternatives to several of them are ecologically ruinous.
