Why Scent Is the Purest Form of Self-Expression? The Future of Fragrance Isn’t Binary—It’s You
Share
Close your eyes and think about your favorite scent. Is it sweet like jasmine on warm skin? Smoky like leather and late nights? Crisp like salt-kissed air? Now ask yourself—why do you love it?
Chances are, your answer doesn’t involve the words “masculine” or “feminine.” That’s because scent speaks to something far deeper than gender. It speaks to memory. It is all the more about emotion mixed with desire and identity. And identity isn’t a checkbox. It’s a spectrum.
Just like gender, fragrance refuses to be confined. They are complex, they are layered, fluid and profoundly personal. That’s why at Urban Collection Fragrances, we believe in crafting scents that speak to humans, not just categories. Our unisex options, like the fragrance inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum, are made for anyone who dares to wear what they feel.
Welcome to a world where fragrance has no gender—only soul.
Scent and Identity: A Shared Language of Complexity
For decades, perfume counters have been divided like locker rooms. If a scent is floral or has fruity, and powdery notes it is for her; similarly if it is woody or has spicy, and musky, they are for him. But what if the rules were never about what smells good, only about what sells well?
Gendered marketing in fragrance is a construct, one that is rooted in outdated norms. But just as the world is finally embracing the truth that gender exists beyond the binary, so too is fragrance reclaiming its freedom.
You think about it like this: the scent of oud isn't inherently “masculine.” Nor is rose inherently “feminine.” These notes have been worn and loved by people of all genders across cultures for centuries.
At Urban Collection Fragrances, we see scent for what it is: a spectrum. One that mirrors the infinite expressions of identity.
What Makes a Fragrance “Unisex”?
Let’s break it down. A unisex or gender-neutral fragrance typically avoids extreme associations with stereotypically "male" or "female" notes. Instead, it leans into balance and harmony.
But don’t mistake “unisex” for “bland.” In fact, unisex perfumes are often bold. They are abstract, and unexpectedly complex. They’re usually built in contrast. They have a vibe that exudes sweet meets smoky, fresh meets spicy—resulting in something entirely new. Something that transcends labels.
Our Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired extrait is a perfect example of this alchemy. It's a fragrance that dances between light and dark. It is somewhere right in the middle of sweet and sultry, ethereal and earthy. It doesn’t ask you who you are. It lets you be.
Spotlight: Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait (Unisex, Unapologetic, Unforgettable)
Let’s talk about the fragrance.
The Urban Collection perfume inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is not for the faint of heart. It’s a head-turner. This perfume is a memory-maker. It is a scent that lingers long after you’ve left the room.
At first spray, you’re hit with a rush of saffron and bitter almond. These notes are spicy, they are warm, and instantly intriguing. Then comes the glowing heart of jasmine and cedarwood. They balance softness with structure. As it settles, the base reveals ambergris and musk, melting into your skin like a second soul.
This isn’t a perfume for men. Or women. It’s a perfume for the moment. It is absolutely for the energy you bring. We have made it ideal for the mood you channel and the world you want to shape.
And that’s what makes it magic.
Wearing Your Identity: The Power of Inclusive Scent
Fragrance is invisible, but its impact is undeniable. It communicates without words. It can be armor or an invitation. It can say, “this is who I am,” before you speak.
In a world that often tries to box us in. And they do it using our bodies, pronouns, style, or voices. A unisex fragrance stands and speaks up, it says: you’re already enough.
Choosing a scent not based on gender, but on how it makes you feel, is a radical act of self-love. It's also an act of solidarity with those who have been erased or sidelined by the beauty industry for too long.
The Cultural Shift: Beauty Is Getting More Inclusive
The rise of gender-fluid fashion and makeup is already rewriting the rules of beauty. Celebrities like Troye Sivan, Rihanna, Harry Styles, and Zendaya are unapologetically blurring lines, They are proving that authenticity, not conformity, is what makes style magnetic.
Fragrance is the next frontier.
Big-name houses are launching “genderless” collections, and niche brands are thriving by rejecting labels altogether. But unlike luxury brands that gatekeep with high price tags, Urban Collection is about affordable access to luxury. We want everyone to experience the freedom of scent without borders.
Our unisex line invites you to choose your perfume not based on pink or blue, but on you.
How to Choose a Unisex Fragrance (Hint: Forget the Rules)
If you’ve never explored unisex perfumes before, here’s your permission slip to start:
-
Smell with your heart, not your gender. Pay attention to what sparks joy. It should fill you with curiosity, or confidence.
-
Layer freely. Combine a musky base with a floral top note. Play with contrasts.
-
Test on skin, not paper. Your body chemistry makes every scent uniquely yours.
- Let go of labels. If it smells like home, wear it.
Perfume isn’t about performance—it’s about presence. And in a world that’s increasingly automated and filtered, showing up as your truest self is the boldest move of all.

And if you don’t have one yet, let us help you find it.
Because beyond pink and blue, beyond floral and woody, beyond boxes and binaries—there’s a place where you just are.
And it smells incredible.
Embrace the Infinite
Fragrance isn’t just an accessory. It’s a mirror, a memory, a manifesto. And the most honest scent is the one that feels like you—not the one someone said you “should” wear.
As we move toward a more inclusive, expressive world, our sense of self is expanding. And fragrance should expand with it.
So the next time someone asks what perfume you’re wearing, tell them the truth:
“It’s not for men. It’s not for women. It’s for me.”
