Are all perfumes and colognes unisex?

[Smurfy]

Years ago I don't recall there being any unisex scents, but now there are quite a few. Is society slowly moving away from male and female branded scents, towards a totally unisex range? Would such a move be a good thing? Certainly there are men who wear 'womens' scents. So is the branding totally irrelevant, and soon to be redundant?

Just remember if it says ''Pour Homme'' on the label it's for when you're looking for a man.

Could be confusing if pheromones are involved

Eau de toilette is a bit confusing too, eh?

Hmmm, sounds interesting. This is the kind of slightly random observation I was hoping for.

Maybe the gender of the skin it's worn on is the single most important factor.

If Brut 33 works, why not Old Spice?
Please can someone who has both Old Spice and a lady friend to hand try this and report back.

Chanel 5 is a lot better on her than it is on me.
CK1 is better on me than on her. IMHO.

According to many of the guys where I work, the "Pour" means just that. Pour. And keep pouring until you're a walking gas hazard. Then go to work secure in the knowledge that nobody will be able to smell your body odour, due to their nasal passages (and internal organs) being in the process of shutting down, due to the sensory assault. Many of the women at work perform the female version of this daily inundation. It's amazing I still have a sense of smell .

Or even put some spices on an old woman

Less is definitely more. To much and you practically choke on the fumes. Men should stick to colognes and not splash perfume all over themselves. Of course there is always an exception to the rule. The perfume could start off on your partner and end up on you.

No, actually Chanel 5 is better on me! As well as Chanel No19 Poudré.

Thank you very much!

Perfume is also age related, little old ladies always seem to smell the same way, Lavender?
