You want people to remember you for your quirks and your individuality. So why not let your perfume do the talking? Here are the most unique perfumes you can don today, according to users on Fragrantica and Reddit. Not surprisingly, you’ll find many of these distinctive scents among our collection of high-quality perfumes, too.
As much as we love the classics, we can’t deny that there are plenty of unique, unusual perfumes for both women and men that are worth a try. Starting with Le Labo’s Santal 33 Eau de Parfum. Literally everyone from your aunt, your cousin’s boyfriend, and even your neighbor has heard of it. But that doesn’t make it any less unique. Santal 33’s famously well-balanced blend of milky sandalwood, delicate violet notes, and comforting iris is seldom matched, and remains utterly addictive and unique to this day.
Fans of the unconventional may also want to look into Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum. Filled to the brim with rare ingredients, the American luxury fashion brand’s interpretation of a fruit fragrance is both sophisticated yet unique. Exotic black cherry, Turkish rose, jasmine sambac, Peru balsam, roasted tonka, and warm woods give this fragrance its sensual and comforting quality – unlike anything you’ll ever find in a traditional fruity fragrance.
If you’re on the hunt for an unusual, no-one-will-ever-guess-what-you’re-wearing bottle of perfume, take our advice: save yourself some time and just go for Maison Martin Margiela’s Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette. An aromatic blend of creamy vanilla, warm spices, and burning woods swirls in harmony, giving rise to a warm, cozy scent. Seasonal? Yes. Unique? Absolutely.
The last unique fragrance on our list is downright extraordinary. Otherworldly, you might even say. Truly, Mugler’s Alien Eau de Parfum is something else all on its own. Stunning, loud, and proud – Alien stands apart from other contemporary florals of the day. Little comes close to this interplanetary blend of amped-up jasmine and warm ambery woods. This is a scent for the woman who owns her power, who embraces her femininity and delivers it with a mighty, cosmic punch.
