What is Natural Spray fragrance?

We use naturally derived molecules in every case, very often synthesising natural notes to ensure that we remain ethical and cruelty-free.

What are GenderBlend frageances?

There are no labels at Shay & Blue. We don't categorise our products by gender.

Our Gender-Blend fragrances, also known as a gender-neutral fragrance, are scents that we design to be suitable for both men and women. It is a fragrance that can be worn by individuals of any gender identity without conforming to traditional stereotypes or expectations regarding scent preferences.

Unisex fragrances are characterised by their balanced composition, typically incorporating a blend of notes that are neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. They often feature a combination of fresh, floral, woody, or spicy elements, creating a versatile and inclusive scent profile. Unisex fragrances tend to be more subtle and less focused on traditional gender-specific accords, allowing for a broader appeal and wider range of wearers.

The concept of unisex fragrances emerged as a response to the traditional categorisation of perfumes and colognes into strictly masculine and feminine scents. It challenges the notion that certain scents are exclusive to a particular gender and promotes a more open and inclusive approach to fragrance choices.

Unisex fragrances provide individuals with the freedom to express their personal style and individuality without conforming to societal expectations. They offer a diverse range of options that can be worn by anyone, regardless of their gender identity, encouraging self-expression and breaking down gender barriers in the world of perfumery.
