Avant-garde perfumers love unisex scents--but regular spritzers? We asked couples to test six new ones. What makes a winner? As one sniffer put it, "With a bad one, men think it smells like women, and women think it smells like men."

MAGNOLIA ROMANA EAU D'ITALIE (1), with lemon leaves, nutmeg, magnolia-flower extract, cedar, and white musk

He says: "I thought it would be too feminine, but I liked it--it smells like a gin and tonic! And I don't mind it on her, but I'd rather we didn't wear the same scent at the same time." --GLENN, 35

She says: "I liked it on myself--it's fresh and lemony, which I prefer to floral scents. And I liked it on him even more, because you can't place the scent immediately, so you need to draw in a little closer to identify it. It's kind of sexy that way." --LIANA, 29

BANANA REPUBLIC CLASSIC LIMITED EDITION (2), with citrus and green notes, lavender, honeysuckle, musk, and woods

He says: "Why'd you spray that on me? It smells like a girl! It's way too flowery." --GREG, 37
