Heres what perfume you should be wearing according to your star sign
When it comes to choosing a perfume, we often pick ones that we feel reflect ourselves, whether it’s a scent we absolutely love or the feeling it invokes when we spray it.
There’s another thing that plenty of people feel represents them perfectly, and that’s their star sign.
Whether you’re into astrology or not, there’s no denying that our astrological signs can reflect our personality traits to a tee, and now with the help of the experts at The Fragrance Shop, we know exactly which perfume matches our star sign, and our personality, perfectly.
Natalia Ortiz, Chief Commercial Officer at The Fragrance Shop, said: “If you’re very in tune with the characteristics you adopt from your astrological sign, matching a fragrance to this can definitely help to make you feel more yourself, but also unique. The reasons you’ve chosen this fragrance are unique and special to you and who you are. It’s a confidence booster for sure, and if you’re having an off day it can be a positive reminder of the great qualities that you have as a person.”
Here’s everything you need to know to match your scent to your star sign…
Jasmine for Aries
Passionate, motivated and confident, celebrity Aries includeKourtney Kardashian,Lady GagaandVictoria Beckham.
Aries need a perfume that makes a statement, and jasmine’s richness and intensity are just the thing. Combining sweet floral notes with sexy muskiness, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau De Parfum Spray, £91 here (£64.80 for My The Fragrance Shop members), is the perfect pick.
Cherry/cherry blossom for Taurus
Celebrities likeAdele,Megan Foxand evenQueen Elizabeth IIwere born under the Taurus star sign, which has personality traits of being loyal, reliable, tenacious and down to earth.
According to Natalia: “The cherry blossom is a reliable sight and iconic feature of Japan. They always bloom as the first sign of spring. The soft, sweet, pretty-pretty powderiness of blossoms adds an ethereal veil of softly charming fresh-airiness to a fragrance.” She recommends Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau De Toilette, £77 here (£61.60 for MYTFS) for Taurus’.
Lime for Gemini
It seems Gemini is the sign of the super model, withNaomi Campbell,Heidi Klumand Brooke Shields all being born under the sign.
Geminis are known for being distinctive and making an entrance when they enter a room, and lime is the perfect fragrance to embody that according to Natalia.
“A top note of lime makes for the brightest and most energising of first encounters, in a fragrance – lighter and sweeter than a lemon, but at the same time more intense,” said Natalia, who recommends Geminis opt for Maison Margiela Under The Lemon Tree Eau De Toilette, £115 here (£92 for My TFS members) . She added: “Don’t be fooled by the name, the top note is a fantastically juicy burst of lime.
Orange/orange blossom for Cancer
With personality traits including loyal, intuitive, sensitive and caring, it’s no surprise that celebrity Cancer’s includeKhloe Kardashian,Selena GomezandPrincess Diana, and the perfect perfume to match those traits is something sweet but intense like orange blossom
Often used symbolically in fragrances, it has a sweet, rich and heady scent that’s versatile enough to be used in a whole host of different fragrances, including the Elie Saab Le Parfum Eau De Parfum, £70 here (£56 for My TFS members).
Bergamot for Leo
When it comes to Leo’s, Natalia said: “Compassion and big-heartedness, consciousness, drive, and natural leadership are the four main characteristics of the Leo personality,” which includes celebrities likeMeghan Markle,Kylie JennerandJennifer Lopez.
For such big personalities, Leos need big notes that have a feeling of familiarity, making bergamot the perfect choice as its fruity, sweet and mildly spicy hint are found as a top note in most perfumes, including the Carolina Herrera Good Girl Blush Eau De Parfum, £95 here (£76 for My TFS members).
Rose for Virgo
Beyonce,ZendayaandBlake Livelywere all born under the Virgo astrological sign, which has characteristics of being humble, self-effacing, hardworking, and practical, but under the surface, they are frequently natural, kind, and sympathetic.
For this, a perfume that makes an impact whilst still being delicate and subtle is key, making rose the perfect Virgo scent. DIOR Miss Dior Rose N' Roses Eau De Toilette, £82 here (£65.60 for My TFS members) , is the perfect choice.
Ylang ylang for Libra
Kim Kardashian,Bella HadidandGwyneth Paltroware all Libras, who tend to be extroverted, friendly, and striving for harmony and peace, with ylang ylang complimenting these characteristics perfectly.
Natalia said: “Exotic, intense, and comfortingly familiar, it’s generally recognised to be one of the more ‘aphrodisiac’, sensual note in the perfumer’s box of tricks. It has an almost cinnamon quality, yet is very feminine and can also be luscious, buttery, a little bit apricot like.” She recommends the CHANEL N°5 Eau De Parfum, £99 here (£79.20 for My TFS members), for all the Libras out there.
Amber for Scorpio
Strong, enigmatic and independent, Scorpio signs includeKris Jenner,Kendall JennerandKaty Perry, whose traits crackle with an intensity and charisma that makes them impossible to ignore, just like an amber fragrance note.
“Amber has an animalic quality, and is warm, a little powdery, and gives depth and sexiness to a fragrance,” according to Natalia, who suggests Goutal Ambre Fetiche Mixed Eau De Parfum, £165 here (£132 for My TFS Members) , as Scorpio’s perfume of choice.
Grapefruit for Sagittarius
WithTaylor Swift,Christina AguileraandBritney Spearsall falling under the Sagittarius star sign, it’s no surprise that its astrological traits include being lively, passionate and smart, making zesty and sharp grapefruit notes ideal for their fragrance match.
Natalia added: “Sharp, aromatic, and refreshing, grapefruit blends well with other citrus ingredients in the ‘overture’, or top notes, of summery and uplifting scents. Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau De Toilette 50ml Spray, £73 here (£48 for My TFS members), is the perfect choice for Saggitarius’.
Musk for Capricorn
Capricorns are ambitious, determined, materialistic and strong, countingKate Middleton, Michelle Obama andZooey Deschanelamongst their ranks, so they need a powerful fragrance that lasts all day, like musk.
“Incredibly versatile in a perfumer’s hands, it softens, balances, adds staying power and keeps a fragrance on the skin while stopping other short-lived ingredients from disappearing too fast. It smells like skin itself and almost hypnotises passers by,” said Natalia. For Capricorns, Narciso Rodriguez for her PURE MUSC Eau De Parfum, £87 here (£69.60 for My TFS members), is the perfect long lasting and powerful fragrance.
Lemongrass for Aquarius
Jennifer Aniston,Paris HiltonandOprah Winfreyare amongst the famous Aquarius signs, whose personality traits include being analytical, clever, confident and assertive. With its fresh, sharp lemon-like scent, lemongrass is the perfect accompaniment for Aquarius’.
Naralia said: “Lemongrass has a fresh, sharp lemon-like scent with a slight hint of exotic ginger. On the other hand, what gives strength and support to this fragrant note is a definite earthy and grassy undertone. It is bright and refreshing, exceptionally well balanced, and is there to stir things up, wake and energise.” Valentino Born In Roma Donna Yellow Dream Eau De Parfum, £65 here (£52 for MYTFS members), gives Aquarius signs the ultimate zesty burst.
Iris for Pisces
Pisces are known to be sensitive, gracious and emotionally aware, counting Rihanna, Drew Barrymore and Sophie Turner amongst their members. As one of the most sympathetic signs of the zodiac, the soft and delicate scent of iris is perfect for their gentle souls.
“Instead of smelling something more floral in your fragrance, you will find the aroma to be more of an earthy and powdery yet sweet combination. Lending base notes of violet, the iris fragrance can vary slightly from plant to plant, giving off additional spicy, woody and dry notes,” explained Natalia, who recommends Lancome La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu Eau De Parfum, £97 here (£77.60 for My TFS members), for the Pisces out there.
