The Mood Behind Your Scent
Your perfume says more about you than you might realize. Some days you wake up craving something bright and refreshing. Other days, you lean toward warmth, calm, and depth. Fragrance moves with your emotions, and that’s what makes unisex perfume so captivating. It doesn’t choose sides. It simply adapts to your energy.
At Open Water SG, each scent is designed to do exactly that. These Eau de Parfums, inspired by luxury icons, are built with balance crafted in an alcohol-containing oil format that makes them long-lasting, smooth, and expressive. Whether your mood calls for sparkling citrus or grounding woods, there’s always one that fits perfectly.
Let’s get to know how these two fragrance families, citrus and woody, shape your mood and why they work beautifully for everyone.

Citrus Notes – The Spark of Energy
Citrus perfumes are all about brightness and optimism. They’re the scents that make you feel like you’ve opened a window on a sunny morning crisp, clean, and full of life. They’re perfect for lifting your spirits when you need a mental refresh or want to start your day with confidence.
By The Sea, inspired by Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Gio, captures that essence perfectly. With mandarin, neroli, and salty marine notes, it gives you that just-out-of-the-ocean freshness that works anytime, anywhere. It’s breezy, uplifting, and effortlessly unisex, making it a go-to for daytime wear.
For something with a little more polish, Of Grace, inspired by Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, opens with a citrus sparkle before revealing soft jasmine and a smooth musk base. It’s elegant yet spontaneous, the kind of fragrance that transitions beautifully from morning errands to evening dinners without ever feeling like too much. Citrus perfumes are your pick when you’re feeling optimistic and energetic or simply want to carry sunshine with you all day.

Woody Notes – The Calm of Confidence
If citrus brings brightness, woody perfumes bring balance. They’re deep, earthy, and quietly powerful the kind of scents that remind you to slow down, breathe, and own your space.
James Dean, inspired by Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather, sits firmly in that space. It’s a rich mix of leather, lavender, and warm woods confident without being loud, and smooth without trying too hard. It’s one of those unisex perfumes that feels right on anyone who likes a touch of mystery in their scent.
Then there’s Dark Paradise, inspired by Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, which brings woody florals together with cacao, tonka, and a creamy almond warmth. It’s bold, sensual, and perfectly suited for nights out or cooler evenings when you want to leave an impression without saying a word.
Woody scents work best when you’re feeling calm, grounded, or in control; they carry an unspoken confidence that people instantly notice.
Finding Balance Between Bright and Grounded
The best part about unisex perfumes is that you never have to pick sides. You can be fresh and confident, airy and deep, and light and grounded all at once.
Some days call for brightness; that’s when By the Sea or Of Grace feels right, bringing clarity and freshness to your mood. Other days, you might want something that feels intimate and strong; James Dean or Dark Paradise will become your companions then.
And if you like something right in between? Lost in California, inspired by Byredo Mojave Ghost, delivers a soft mix of floral musk and creamy woods that works beautifully across moods and moments. Meanwhile, Scarlet, inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540, combines airy sweetness with amber wood that is radiant yet deeply comforting, just like your favorite in-between mood.
That’s the beauty of unisex perfumes They don’t limit you. They adjust, evolve, and shift as your day (and your mood) does.
