Best Omni-Gender Floral
House of Bo La Mar Eau de Parfum
Pros
Display-worthy Bottle
Easy to Wear
House of Bo’s La Mar was created by master perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux to capture the scent of skin after a saltwater swim, mingled with the lush flora of the Mexican Riviera. Coconut and a unique almond milk note lend creaminess to the fragrance’s white floral heart, and give the scent a unique signature that is incredibly pretty without being overtly feminine.

Pros
Concentrated Extrait Strength
Small Batch
Inspired not just by moon flower—a spicy, narcotic scent rarely referenced in perfume—but by the whole chorus of night-blooming flowers that perfume the streets of Los Angeles after dark, Perfumehead’s Moon Flower is lush, mysterious, and seductive.

Floris London Platinum 22 Eau de Parfum
Pros
Distinctive Sillage
Royal Warrant
The Queen is dead; long live the Queen. Remember Her Majesty with this gorgeous scent, created by British heritage house Floris for Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee and inspired by the flowers blooming in the royal gardens. Don’t expect prim and dainty, though—like the regent herself, this is both stealthily strong and surprisingly modern, with notes of earthy orris, green violet leaf, and comforting black tea.

Pros
Gender Neutral
Fresh and Green
A geranium leaf crushed in your fingers gives off a smell unlike any other—simultaneously zingy, herbaceous, green, floral, and earthy. Modeled specifically after the scent of pelargonium tomentosum (a minty variety), Sisley’s L’Eau Revee d’Hubert captures this garden-fresh aroma perfectly, while also rendering it—with painterly accents of cedar and patchouli—effortlessly wearable.

Vacation Vacation Eau de Toilette
Pros
Perfect Poolside Scent
Conversation Starter
A perfume based on a perfumed sunscreen? It’s all a bit meta, but suffice to say that the scent devised by Arquiste founder Carlos Huber and perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux for Vacation is basically every happy memory of days spent by the pool you’ve ever had, captured in a spritz. Think: floating around on an inflatable lounge chair, sipping a pina colada, the sun on your (SPF-protected) face.
