Why Genderless Fragrance Exists

Gendered perfume is a marketing invention. Notes never belonged to genders; they belonged to people. Scent has always lived on the skin; warming, shifting, evolving.

We design fragrance to move with your natural chemistry. Your temperature, your environment, your rhythm through the day all of it shapes how each extrait unfolds on you.

Genderless fragrance is not neutral. It’s personal. A modern scent that becomes a signature rather than a label.

At Artifact, we take this further by creating genderless extrait de parfum, giving each scent the depth, longevity, and presence usually reserved for luxury niche perfumery.

What Makes Artifact Different

Artifact sits at the meeting point of modern perfumery and skin-based chemistry.

Our fragrances are:

• Genderless – created without masculine/feminine constructs
• Extrait de parfum – the highest fragrance concentration
• Neo-adaptive – designed to evolve with your chemistry
• Time-released – unfolding in waves rather than one flat projection
• Identity-led – shaped by the wearer, not the bottle or branding

No two wearers experience Artifact the same way. That’s what makes it a signature.

What Is Genderless Perfume?

Genderless perfume removes labels and expectations. Instead of dictating who a scent is “for,” we design for how it behaves: how it projects, how it lingers, how it evolves, and how it interacts with your personal chemistry.

The goal isn’t neutrality. It’s individuality.

A genderless fragrance should feel expressive, modern, and unmistakably yours.

Genderless Perfume vs. Unisex Perfume

These terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference worth noting:

Unisex perfume

Created to appeal to as many people as possible. Balanced. Universal. Often simple.

Genderless perfume (Artifact’s approach)

Created to adapt to the wearer. Not designed to sit in the middle, but to shift depending on who wears it. A sculptural approach to scent rather than a blended compromise.

Artifact is not “one-size-fits-all.” It’s one-of-one.

The Power of Extrait de Parfum

Fragrance concentration changes everything.

Extrait de parfum is the highest concentration of fragrance oils, making it:

• Richer
• Longer lasting
• More expressive
• More complex
• More responsive to skin chemistry
• More refined in projection

Compared to a typical eau de parfum, extrait offers:

• Deeper note structure
• Slower evaporation
• More textured development across the day
• A clearer sense of presence
• A more personal evolution based on your skin

Artifact uses extrait concentration because it allows neo-adaptive chemistry to fully take shape, each scent shifting in waves as your skin warms, cools, and moves.

How Neo-Adaptive Chemistry Works

Neo-adaptive perfumery is our signature methodology. It blends traditional perfumery with modern fragrance technology to create scents that are reactive and fluid.

Each Artifact fragrance includes:

• Time-released notes – notes built to appear gradually, rather than all at once.
• Heat-responsive molecules – compounds that become more expressive as they interact with warmth.
• Skin-reactive structures – ingredients that reveal different facets based on pH, moisture and movement.
• Multi-phase diffusion – projection that rises and softens throughout the day.

The result isn’t linear. It isn’t predictable. It’s alive. A fragrance that shifts from morning clarity to afternoon warmth to evening depth without reapplying.

Why Chemistry Matters

Your body is constantly changing: temperature, movement, environment, hydration, skin moisture, pH.

Traditional perfume ignores this. Artifact uses it.

As your chemistry changes, the scent changes with it, revealing new textures and notes over time.

This is why Artifact smells slightly different on every wearer not because the formula changes, but because you do.

Why Genderless Extrait de Parfum Works for Modern Wearers

People want fragrance that reflects identity, not stereotypes something fluid, expressive, modern, and refined.

Genderless extrait de parfum is perfect for this moment because it offers:

• Presence without predictability – depth and projection without feeling overpowering.
• A signature that feels personal – the scent evolves closer to your identity than your category.
• A more modern approach to luxury – scents built on craftsmanship, not clichés.
• A sensory experience that continues to change – morning to evening, cool to warm, indoors to out.
• A clearer expression of individuality – you wear the fragrance; it does not wear you.
