Unisex perfumery: can you wear 'men's' and 'women's' fragrances?

Abar Diplomat is a men’s cologne from the Russian brand Abar, built around an expressive combination of citrus, spicy, leathery and woody notes.
The composition belongs to the fougère, citrus and spicy families, giving it a polished, masculine character without excessive sweetness.
Abar creates men’s, women’s and unisex fragrances in a variety of formats, from colognes and eau de toilettes to perfumes and extracts.
Diplomat continues this idea of practical everyday perfumery. Its character is easy to imagine as part of the wardrobe of a man who values a neat appearance, freshness and quiet confidence.
Abar Diplomat opens with a clean citrus accord. The opening feels energetic and concise, creating an impression of freshness and well-groomed elegance.
As it develops, spices and tonka bean join the composition, making the spicy heart warmer, rounder and more noticeable.
In the base, the composition takes on greater depth through leather and sandalwood.
The leather accord adds a dry masculinity, while sandalwood softens the scent and gives it a smooth woody quality.
As a result, Diplomat balances a fresh fougère opening with a restrained leathery-woody base.
The fragrance has a subtle sillage, so Diplomat does not try to fill the entire space around you.
It is a good choice for the office, business meetings, travel and situations where discretion and an intimate, unobtrusive scent are important.
The fragrance is especially suitable for spring, summer and early autumn, when its citrus freshness unfolds most naturally.
Because of its soft sillage, the cologne can be applied more generously: as a guideline, use 4 or more sprays on skin and more than 4 sprays on clothing.
The exact amount depends on the temperature, skin type and desired intensity, so it is best to start with a smaller dose and gradually find the most comfortable amount.
This fragrance is worth trying for men who enjoy citrus compositions with a spicy heart and a leathery base.
It does not come across as excessively loud or sweet, yet it retains its character and fits easily into an everyday style.
Diplomat may be a convenient choice for those looking for an affordable men’s cologne with a fougère-woody mood and a neat sillage.
In its overall mood, it can be compared with fragrances in which freshness gradually gives way to warm, leathery and woody nuances.
To explore this aesthetic further, take a look at Guerlain L'Homme Ideal, then compare how different compositions work with spicy and leathery accents.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
