Hi everyone just wanted some thoughts on this, what would you say are some of the best designer unisex fragrances? They can be super cheap or in chanel territory.
As a rough idea im suggesting unisex because i'm after a fragrance that is for a woman but not a typical womans perfume. No sharp florals, super sweet, or vanilla madness. Just gentle, soft musky kinda notes along the lines of D&G light blue for women (which really is totally unisex).

Any input would be awesome.

Thanks.

Guerlains vol du nuit edt, Chanel's No 19 is great, Chanel's Cuir de Russie is a wonderful unsiex leather scent, Chanel Bois De Iles is worth a try, even though it's no longer sold, Cuir de Lancome can still be found on eBay and it's a lovely leather as well. There are a lot more I just can't think of them right away. But if you can try sampling them before you commit to a whole bottle to make sure they fit your bill!

Either Mugler Cologne (which I'm not a HUGE fan of) or my personal favorite unisex fragrance, Voyage D'Hermes

Kida2007, if you like Dior Poison, then you , may like Guerlain's Jicky or Mitsouko as well. Both are not modern frags in the general sense because they have an almost 100 year old history, but are widely held in high regard around the board. But, trying these as samples is a good idea.

Cheers!

Cologne du 68 by Guerlain. Despite the potential cacophony from blending 68 notes, it's a smooth, warm, woody-musky scent.

Dune by Dior: An abstract oriental with ambery notes, dry florals and that peculiar sand accord.
