Were perfumes' fragrances always separated by sex like (or similar to) nowadays?

No. One of the first was actually eau the cologne (German; kölnisch Wasser) and they did not separate by sex or gender. The museum in cologne greatly explained this in a tour. It used to be a wonder to reproduce a fragrance several times. It was such a hit, that soon most royal houses in Europe used it, queens and kings alike.
