8 of the Best Gender Neutral Unisex Fragrances


 

Traditionally perfumes and colognes have been marketed to men and women separately. And we do tend to separate certain kinds of scent notes with leaning feminine and certain notes with leaning masculine. Technically all scents are unisex and anyone can wear any scent. Fragrances actually smell different on men and women because the chemicals in a person's body interact with the chemicals in a perfume creating a unique scent.  I've pulled together a list of my favorite scents that I truly feel could be worn by either a man or woman. They are that good and you can share them with your romantic partner. 

Oxblood Nail Polish


Come fall/winter my vibe is all about a dark-red lipstick and my nails get inspiration from the changing colors of leaves.  Fall nail colors are  warm, earthy hues inspired by nature, including shades like cinnamon-toned red, black cherry, and deep burgundy. This fall the colors trending for nails will be burgundy, burnt orange, matcha green chocolate chrome, and tortoise. I know dark red nails aren't groundbreaking for fall but I am so obsessed; especially a dark short nail. Think a deep sultry, spiced burgundy.  I'm looking at shades of oxblood (intense and opulent blackish-red),  cherry mocha (dark chocolatey red), merlot (dark red base with brown undertones) or cherry cola (plum undertones).  Burgundy stands out as the season's key shade, blending the richness of red wine and dark plum, creating a bold, yet elegant vibe. 


Books on Fashion


I read five books on fashion. These books obviously don't tell you what's on trend and what to wear now but rather how to think about your closet differently. I learned so many interesting nuggets. My takeaways from these fashion books offer a comprehensive view on improving personal style and wardrobe management. I reviewed more fashion books in this post. Here’s a look at the key principles from each book.
