My brother has a top-tier fragrance collection.
A huge scent enthusiast, he even has zip lock bags with mini perfume vials separated by their sillage and top notes. Yep.
When I ventured into his room one night to ask him about my insurance (older sibling tings) I found a book about fragrances on his nightstand.
His overzealous love for fragrance led me to spray pretty much every perfume in his scent wardrobe and after leaving what looked like a makeshift fragrance store set up in his bathroom, he sent me on my way with some free samples.
Through his very kind customer service, I actually discovered so many good unisex and masculine-leaning scents I would totally purchase.
In fact, he was the reason I was first introduced to my first unique Goldfield & Banks scent.
Though I identify as female, scent is so personal and it doesn’t have a gender.
I gravitate a lot towards typically-masculine notes like leather, pepper etc. and that’s why I would add these sexy masculine scents to cart, because their notes speak to me, bring me joy and I think they smell cool on my clothes.
Inspired by my brother’s elite taste in cool unisex fragrances I started to keep a mental note of the ones I’ve been loving over the last year.
I’m sure this list will grow over time, but read on for my current top picks.
1. BDK Tabac Rose.
What: BDK Tabac Rose 100ml
I covered this stunning scent in my '5 Unique and Niche Scents So Good, I Have Them All on My Wishlist' story where I described it as: opulent, mysterious, rich and has depth but isn’t heavy.
If you like scents like Baccarat Rouge or NOMAD, you will love this.
I also find this full-bodied scent to be really long-lasting!
Notes:
Head: Madagascan pink pepper, plum accord, Italian lemon.
Heart: Turkish rose, Madagascan cinnamon, chocolate accord.
Base: Balkan tobacco absolute, Indonesian patchouli oil, Spanish labdanum resin.
