That is precisely what has been achieved with the best unisex oud perfumes which combine the best of flowers and wood to produce a fragrance that is common to all.
Such fragrances are becoming extremely common in Kuwait and the Gulf countries because people are now anticipating scents that convey a certain mood and sense of identity which is not gender specific. And when it comes to a mixture of subtle flowers and woody notes nobody is better than Ajmal.
So lets take a close look at how such a harmony is achieved, that is how it is that certain fragrances like Amber Santal Eau De Parfum are so universally loved.
Understanding the Balance: Floral vs. Woody Accents
It seems a bit strange at the beginning: how is it going to work when combined with a floral fragrance because one is fresh and romantic while the other is earthy and rich? Yet when mixed it gives a whole brand new effect smooth, elegant and earthy.
Floral notes add a fresh, charming and warm quality. Floral notes are what make a perfume lively, elegant and more pleasing to the nose. Take, for instance, the scent of jasmine, rose, or lily, which is enough to make your heart smile.
On the other hand, notes such as the ones from Woody add depth, strength and also a touch of mystery to a fragrance. Such notes are generally derived from components like Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Oud.
Together they make the perfect pair; the flowers are a mood booster while the woods maintain a consistent fragrance.
The Role of Oud in Unisex Perfumes
In Middle Eastern perfumes, oud is the nerve center of high-end perfumes. Called “liquid gold,” it has a smoky, resiny scent that is full-bodied yet elegant.
Oud is used as an anchor when blended with unisex scents. It enhances the fragrance’s sweetness, making it last longer. The fragrance’s effect is no longer sweet but deep, making it suitable for all sexes.
That is why unisex oud fragrances have so many followers. The reason is that they are not exclusive to one single individual but suit your skin, style and mood.
