“Unisex fragrances often centre around notes that feel timeless and adaptable,” says Hipgrave. “Clean, airy accords like citrus, herbs, or fresh florals create brightness, while warmer tones – woods, spices, amber, or resinous notes – add depth and longevity. For example, blends of crisp bergamot with creamy sandalwood or smoky incense with soft musk create a balance that doesn’t read too feminine or masculine. These types of notes not only last beautifully on the skin but also evolve in a way that feels sophisticated and inviting to all. A good example is DIEM’s Deep Silence fragrance that combines herbal-smelling camphor with resins.”
