The world of perfumery in France has not always been governed by gender criteria. In Antiquity and the Middle Ages, men and women alike used the same fragrances of natural origin. Floral notes were not associated with femininity, and rose scents were very popular with the Romans. It wasn't until the century that perfumes were divided into two distinct categories: one designed specifically for men, the other created exclusively for women.
For several years now, unisex fragrances have been making a comeback . The boundaries between genres are blurred to create fragrances that are free from the shackles of the perfume world.
