Description:
Every now and then an idea comes along that’s big enough to challenge the status quo. It could be as simple as yogurt or as wildly complex as a solution to drug research and approval. But the truly great ones get people to react and pretty soon the rules of the game shift. The amazing best smelling Androgynous Fragrance and brand will rewrite those rules.
Hi my name is Charles Nelson and I originally created this amazing Fragrance for myself in 2001. After years of everyone (male/ Female) getting super excited about what I was wearing and telling me I was the best smelling person they had ever smelled I knew I had an amazing product. The final decision for me to bring the Androgynous brand to the whole world was in the fall of 2009 in a restaurant. A gentleman came over to me and my friend and said “my apologies for starring but you are the most amazing smelling person I have ever smelled and whatever you are wearing is a sure winner and is unisex”. The gentleman, very excited about my smell mentioned to me that he worked for Channel and was curious what was the name of the scent I was wearing as he had never smelled this scent before. I told him it was my fragrance and I had created it for myself. He then told me with much enthusiasm that “it was a sure winner being unisex and having such an amazing smell and that I should bring it to the mass market”. Being very excited about the stamp of approval from him even though everyday someone has told me how amazing this smell was since I first created it back in 2001.
I then decided to start my journey to bring the most amazing smell/ fragrance to the world. I now needed to come up with the perfect name for my amazing unisex fragrance. My eureka moment happened and Androgynous popped in my head. an·drog·y·nous
adjective \an-ˈdrä-jə-nəs\
: having both male and female characteristics or qualities
: suitable for both men and women
The most amazing smelling fragrance as most call it harmony in a bottle due to the combination of the best of both worlds woman and man being combined to come up with the ultimate Scent was born.
Androgynous Is more than just the best smelling fragrance. Androgynous is truly a genderless fragrance that works for anybody’s chemistry. Androgynous is pro-woman pro-man pro-all pro-love but beyond the amazing smell Androgynous is about social equality Androgynous is an inspirational brand that moves people. A visionary, brave, powerful creative idea. A brand that truly cares about all people.
A percentage of all sales will be donated to the foundation for sarciodosis research the anti-bully campaign and the foundation for hunger and homeless and a few other charities.
I was personally diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 2008. I overcame my situation, but I wanted to help raise awareness for all and to also help raise awareness for other causes I am passionate about.
Androgynous gives me an opportunity to make all smell great and to help with very important causes that are important as well, which is my true passion helping people.
