Have you ever stood near someone and thought wow they really smell good? There’s just something about a fragrance that is well-suited for an individual. So many of us are searching for that fragrance that mixes with our personal body chemistry just right. If you’ve been searching for your signature scent, the following are some suggestions for scents based on your personal astrology. When considering what would smell good on you, think about not only your sun sign but also your moon, rising as well as your Venus sign. This will give you a more comprehensive idea of which scents you may be more attracted to as well as scents that could possibly work the best with your body chemistry.
Earth signs do well with scents that are reminiscent of nature. Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are the grounded energies that seek which is simplistic, understandable, and real. They are often rejuvenated when in nature among the grass, and especially near streams and deeply rooted trees. These are also the signs that are more likely to enjoy scents that are reminiscent of food…this is especially the case for Taurus.
Some popular scent notes that are favorites among the earth signs include vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood, coconut, amber, driftwood, lavender, and leather.
The Air Signs-Floral, Light & Airy
Air signs are effervescent and bubbly. Light and breezy by character, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius have preferred scents that are similar to their dispositions. If you have ever smelled someone that evokes the sense of a fresh field of flowers or a citrusy blast, this is the “smell” of an air sign. Not one for heavy energies, air signs like to keep it light, easy, and breezy, and they prefer their scents to do the same. Instead of smelling an air sign from across the room, others are more likely to get a “whiff” of their chosen scent. It is as if air signs leave an impression of their scent in the air as they move about here and there.
Some popular scent notes preferred by air signs include vetiver, grapefruit, rose, lily of the valley, honeysuckle, neroli, and mandarin.
The Fire Signs-Spicy & Energizing
Fire signs are passionate and action-oriented. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are propelled by the warm energy that makes them want to embrace life to the fullest. Whether they are taking leaps of faith, loving with all their heart, or embarking on some new adventure, fire signs want to live fully and richly. So, when it comes to choosing a scent, they may require something that peps them up and keeps them going. Think spicy and warm notes that tantalize the senses. The smell of a fire sign is energizing yet inviting beckoning those in their space to get closer to their warmth and vitality. These are the people who can pull off the bold scents. There is just something about their body chemistry that can pull it off.
Some popular scent notes for fire signs include cinnamon, nutmeg, basil, pepper, clove, cardamom, ginger, saffron, and coriander.
The Water Signs-Mystical & Deep
The water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are deeply emotional, intuitive, and feeling. Tapped into something beyond the realm of what is seen, they have the uncanny ability to “know” things based on the energies they pick up. Whether pulled by the cycles of the moon, dancing with the complexities of the shadow self in others and themselves, or soaking up the energies of everything around them, water signs are an all-encompassing experience…just like the ocean. So, when it comes to scents, water signs desire something that fits naturally. Their scents have to “flow” with their essence. The bold Scorpio may desire a scent that is musky and heady while the gentle Pisces may prefer a softer scent that waifs through the air but pulls you in…just like the ocean air and the high tide. Scents for the water signs reflect their moods…which can vary like the water that they are governed by.
Some popular scents notes for water signs include musk, lotus, sandalwood, vanilla, lavender, iris, chamomile, amber, ivy greens, and dew.
Choosing Your Scent
There is an art to choosing the perfect scent. While some scents smell great on one person, they may not “work” with the body chemistry of another. Thus, in many ways, some scents smell good on us because they match our energy which is why considering our zodiac sign when choosing a special scent is something to consider.
As with all good things, discovering the perfect scent for your body chemistry takes time. Instead of choosing what is considered the most popular scent, consider getting to know who you are and what you like…right down to the aromas and scents that are both pleasing and displeasing to you. The perfect scent just is. It really doesn’t take much getting used to. The perfect scent fits like a glove specially made for you.
