The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Enby was created by perfumer Majda Bekkali and released in 2022, the same year Genderfluid introduced its identity-forward fragrance line. The name points toward a fluid idea of self, where scent belongs to the person wearing it rather than to a predefined masculine or feminine category. Its composition brings that freedom into focus: coconut and cloves give the opening a bright, tactile spark, while neroli, iris, and petitgrain Paraguay bring air and polish. Underneath, hay absolute, honey, and leather turn that brightness into something warmer, giving Enby a tactile finish that feels easy to wear and hard to place in a neat box.
The unusual part is the handoff between freshness and skin. Coconut feels smooth and lightly creamy, but cloves add a dry, peppery edge. Neroli and iris make the middle feel lifted and elegant, while hay absolute introduces a grassy, sun-warmed texture. Honey supplies sweetness without making the composition feel dessert-like. Leather then changes the register, adding a smoky, close-to-skin depth. Together, these materials show why Enby feels gender-fluid: familiar notes keep changing their roles as the scent moves from bright to green, floral, warm, and lightly animalic.
The evolution
Enby begins with a clean lift, where coconut and cloves make the air feel bright, slightly spiced, and fresh. As the opening settles, neroli, iris, and petitgrain Paraguay soften the warmth into a polished floral middle. The composition then takes a more tactile turn: hay absolute brings dry grasses and sunlight, honey adds a rounded sweetness, and leather creates a darker, smoky finish. That leather note is the lasting surprise, lingering after the brighter materials become quieter. On skin, the fragrance settles close, shifting from green and citrus-bright to warm, grassy, and softly animalic, with a honeyed finish that remains more textured than sweet.
Cultural impact
Enby sits within Genderfluid's deliberate identity-forward naming and its challenge to the masculine and feminine fragrance binary. The name and unisex positioning place the scent in a wider cultural conversation about non-binary identity, personal definition, and fragrance worn freely rather than assigned a fixed category.
The House
GenderfluidGenderfluid is an independent fragrance label built around a straightforward premise: scent does not need a gender label. Operating in the growing space of gender-neutral perfumery, the brand composes its fragrances to be worn freely, without the traditional masculine or feminine framing that has dominated Western fragrance marketing since the early 20th century. Its catalog, anchored by Lovely Queer, Iel, and Enby (all released in 2022), draws on inclusive naming and identity-forward themes to position itself within a wider cultural conversation about how fragrance is categorized, marketed, and experienced.
