We’ve often seen perfume packaged for men only or for women only at one point or
the other. Wherever this concept originated from, one cannot tell. But it has
been before long that certain fragrances were meant for either male or female.
This remains an external classification.
There’s no harm in wearing a perfume made for the opposite
sex provided it blends with your body smells. But I think, it has been the packaging
strategy of perfume companies to designate a certain type of fragrance for a
particular gender. Since it has been done that way, any persons who wears
something contrary to the perfume industry prescription may be viewed by
those who know the perfume absurd.
If your skin goes with any perfume of your choice, use it.
Never mind the company label. Men's scent have been designed to be
strong, rich, woody, earthy, leatherish, herbaceous, and aromatic. Also, the fragrances for men are
packaged in grayscale color mostly gray,
dark gray, navy, black, silver. Female perfumes have many more
floral notes. They can be sweeter, lighter, and tend to not last as long. Women's
fragrances have vivid colors based on fuschia coloring.
To conclude the above, I will
say there are no perfume specifically meant for any gender. The true test is if
the perfume in question fits your skin. If your body chemistry allows it, why
should you believe the perfume company. The designation for male/female perfume
is engendered by the perfume producers and therefore it’s a market strategy to
lure a particular gender to buy certain kind of perfume. But I also think that
they do this may be because of demand. If a certain perfume is on high
demand by the ladies, the company may suddenly change the package and repeat
the same fragrance and labelled it for ladies.

this or you have a contrary opinion, leave a comment below.
I wear any lovely perfume be it for men or women.
