Scents Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Finding a signature scent can be tough. With so many different scents to choose from, it can be tricky to narrow down your search. 

At the end of the day, your signature scent, whether in the form of a fragrance or a candle, is a form of self-expression and a way to let your personality shine. And because your zodiac sign also weighs into your personality, we think breaking down fragrances based on each sign is one of the most fun ways to find your new go-to scent. 

Think of this article kind of like a fragrance horoscope; we’ll give you a scent based on each zodiac sign so that you can find a perfect-fit fragrance for yourself and your best friends

aries: rose era

The first sign of the zodiac and no stranger to being number one, Aries (March 21 to April 19) can be captured in two words: ambitious and daring. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a challenge that Aries isn’t willing to dive into headfirst (and most likely conquer). 

The already confident Aries can get an additional boost from Rose Era. This rose perfume knows what it takes to reimagine a classic fragrance. With a blend of rose, strawberry, clean laundry accord, ambrette seeds, white moss, and saffron, Rose Era is a modern take on a timeless favorite. 

taurus: instant karma

Lovers of luxury, Taurus (April 20 to May 20) is known for having a loyal nature and indulgence in relaxing and soothing experiences. 

That’s why Instant Karma is the perfect scent for a Taurus. This candle features cardamon, nashi pear, black plum, geranium, vetiver, cedarwood, and black tea for a spicy, warm, and sensual finish. Whether you’re a Taurus with a decadent home spa or a dreamy date night setup, Instant Karma can set the mood. 

gemini: burning bridges

Geminis (May 21 to June 20) are no strangers to adventure. This sign is famously spontaneous and excellent at communicating. Geminis often have a wide range of interests and are endlessly curious, making Burning Bridges an intriguing match. 

Burning Bridges is a smoky scent sure to pique a Gemini’s interest. With a blend of vanilla, tobacco, iris, rose, fresh spices, freesia, and oakmoss, Burning Bridges knows how to make a statement. This fragrance will help any Gemini start a conversation… not that they need it.

cancer: way with woods

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) is a water sign known for intuition and a strong sense of attachment to the people they love. This sign is especially in touch with their emotions, making them a great fit for one of our most soothing scents, Way With Woods. 

Way With Woods is a light, woody scent that’s easy to wear, subtle, and inviting. Way With Wood welcomes you with open arms, just like anyone with a Cancer sign. It features white tea, mandarin, sandalwood, amber woods, vetiver, and musk for earthy sweet, and cozy vibes.

leo: vanilla vice

Sexy, bold, and unafraid of the spotlight, Leo (July 23 to August 22) is aptly represented by the lion. 

To match their regal status in the celestial world, there’s the woody, melt-worthy vanilla ice cream fragrance Vanilla Vice. Featuring ice cream, vanilla, jasmine sambac, amberwood, musk, and orcanox, this is the scent that will help Leo make their mark. 

virgo: off the grid

Virgos (August 23 to September 22) are generous and hardworking. As one of the earth signs, Virgos are grounded in the world around them and often approach life in a logical and organized way. 

Virgos tend to be diligent workers, and Off The Grid is a calming scent that can help you slip into your happy place. With lily, moss, cypress, tuberose, cedar, cistus amber, and sandalwood, this candle will help Virgos unplug and unwind when they need it most. 

libra: old saint wick

It’s no coincidence that Libras (September 23 to October 22) are represented by scales — they value balance and harmony in every aspect of their life. For many Libras, peace and equilibrium in all of their relationships is the ultimate goal.

You can help the Libras in your life get a little closer to that harmonious place by gifting them an Old Saint Wick candle. This candle combines Siberian pine with apple blossom, rosemary, jasmine, fir balsam, sandalwood, and cedarwood to bring a little natural balance into your home. 

scorpio: sweet ash

Scorpios (October 23 to November 21) are courageous, dynamic, and determined, and they’re widely known for their wisdom and perseverance toward their goals. 

They say that opposites attract which is why we’ve paired the mysterious Scorpio with one of our more lowkey fragrances, Sweet Ash. This scent combines juniper, bergamot, fir balsam, tonka, vanilla bean, white moss, and patchouli for an inviting and addictive fragrance

sagittarius: heal the way

Beloved for their emotional intelligence and philosophical nature, Sagittarians (November 22 to December 21) are as unique as they are curious. 

Such a distinct sign deserves an equally distinct fragrance, which is why Heal the Way is the pistachio scent for them. Combining pistachio cream, davana, palo santo, vanilla, musk, and amber, this soothing fragrance will help Sagittarians tap into their otherworldly intuition and keep them grounded.

capricorn: birds & the breeze

Capricorn (December 22 to January 19) is an earth sign defined by patience, determination, and independence. Capricorns can be relentlessly hardworking, so we’ve paired them with Birds & the Breeze to remind them that it’s okay to take a day off. 

This light, flowery candle combines mimosa petals, galbanum, jasmine, cyclamen, orchid, musk, and cedarwood for an earthy finish reminiscent of the Hamptons. 

aquarius: golden ticket

Known for their energy, eccentric side and dedication to others, Aquarius (January 20 to February 18) is the last of the air signs. Aquarians aren’t afraid to innovate and explore, and Golden Ticket is your VIP pass to another dimension. 

Golden Ticket features bergamot, black tea, green tea, golden maté, safe, galbanum, incense, amber, and vetiver for a scent that sprays light but settles into musky bliss.

pisces: tart deco

Pisces (February 19 to March 20) are sensitive and highly attuned to the people around them. As extremely empathetic people, it can be easy for them to get overwhelmed by the feelings of others and forget to take time for themselves. 

That’s why we’ve paired Pisces with Tart Deco, a nostalgic, playful scent that brings back good memories of simpler times. The Pisces in your life will likely love the retro feeling of this cherry fragrance

Black cherry and raspberry give this scent a juicy feeling while rose, jasmine, mimosa, birchwood, vetiver, and vanilla blend to make it feel sophisticated and rich. 

finding the scent that makes your stars align

It’s definitely fun to use your zodiac sign as a starting point in the search for your next fragrance, but the most important thing to keep in mind is your personal taste. If you’re a fire sign who’s dying to try the Libra scent, go ahead and sample it! If it works for you, it’s made for you. 

When you finally find your signature scent, it will feel like the stars have aligned.
