For women who gravitate toward florals that evoke confidence and femininity, the iconic Fahrenheit by Christian Dior might be your best bet, according to Ermenidis' nose. A truly unique scent, it opens with a hint of gasoline, eventually fading to an intoxicating mix of leather, lavender, honeysuckle and nutmeg. While Ermenidis warns that women trying male scents may want to stay away from "macho" scents that are overpoweringly aromatic, the floral underpinnings of this cologne balance its initially jarring opening notes.
Worried that hints of leather and tobacco will leave you smelling like a hookah lounge? Ben Krigler, fifth-generation perfumer from the legendary House of Krigler fragrance company, says layering a strong male scent with a purely floral scent, like Krigler Schöne Linden, which has notes of violet, camellia, lilac, tuberose and gardenia, will soften the cowboy vibes emitted from traditionally male scents.
