What does your Fragrance Horoscope have in store for you?

For centuries, world leaders, philosophers, artists and business entrepreneurs have looked to the stars for direction and guidance in the realms of commerce, love, health and finance. The art of tracking constellation and planetary positions has been revered by countless civilizations and has been handed down from generation-to-generation. This ancient practice was enthusiastically embraced in the world of fashion and design including perfumery. Christian Dior relied on his astrologer with all aspects of his work and life. In fact, he wouldn’t schedule a fashion show or perfume launch until he consulted his astrological charts. Couturier Elsa Schiaparelli incorporated zodiac imagery in many of her collections as did Dior. Coco Chanel was superstitious when it came to numerology and astrology. And Paco Rabanne doesn’t make any important decision before consulting his planetary charts.

Horoscope enthusiasts will tell you they believe planetary energies can help make a task or event flow smoothly or cause friction. Certain days of the month can assist in creative endeavours and others are more suited to quiet contemplation. What is fascinating is that the 12 zodiac signs based on birthdate do accurately highlight personality traits and personalities of individuals. Scorpios can be stubborn. Pisces can be creative dreamers. Look closely at your best friends and the characteristics of their zodiac sign will likely ring true.

So it makes sense that zodiac signs can point to preferred fragrance notes and styles. Cancer is a water sign and those born under that astrological sign are often described as shy, good listeners, deep thinkers and reflective. With that in mind, any aquatic note such as “calone” which mimics the scent of an ocean breeze is likely to please. Soft, quiet water lily also has a similar mood. On the other hand, Aries is a fire sign. Those born under that zodiac sign are courageous, fun-loving and curious. So any scent note with heat will energize. Look for a kick of ginger or pink pepper in a fragrance.

Astrological characteristics are a fun way to help you discover signature scents that complement your personality and traits. Join us as we navigate the heavens to help you find fragrances that complement your sense of self. Let’s dive into the astrological calendar wheel to find your fragrance horoscope.

Gemstone: citrine

Season: autumn

Your fragrance horoscope:

You exude a natural confidence and magnetism, Scorpio, which can serve you well in business and your career path. You have the ability to be laser-focused on projects and your enthusiasm for your passions is infectious. People want to work with you. For this reason, you love watching Dragon’s Den and Shark Tank for the thrill of the pitch. There is nothing you love more than tackling a new project from start to finish allowing you to excel in management and sales.

Your zodiac sign is a water sign so you have a deeper side to your personality and life that you often keep hidden from everyone except your closest friends.  You can be secretive until friends and coworkers earn your trust. You have the ability to size up people’s motives quickly. Not surprisingly, you care deeply about justice, equality and fair play.

Scorpios are secretly romantic and passionate so fragrances with spice or a little oud can be very complementary. Start with exploring Oriental style scents (spicy) as they have an air of intrigue and a sultriness. There are beautiful modern woody-oriental, floral-oriental and spicy-orientals that will interest you. Each plays up a specific note or ingredient.

Rose is also an ingredient to investigate. But look for rose-themed fragrances with a twist. Search out spicy rose notes or those with a deep character such as good-quality Bulgarian rose oil.

Sandalwood, cedar and particularly vetiver are also great choices. White musk often appeals to Scorpios because it has a quiet sexiness to it.

When scent shopping, look for complex and layered scents that slowly reveal their character over time capture your interest and imagination. Test fragrances on your skin for a full 20 minutes to allow them to interact with your skin chemistry and reveal their true character. Like you, fragrances reveal their secrets over time.

Ambience is important to your lifestyle and you take the time to set a mood with music, lighting and décor. It could be as simple as assembling a row of candles along a table or arranging bouquets of flowers in mason jars. You bring a sense of style to everything you do.

Since you were born under an earth sign, you have the ability to stay grounded and retain a sense of clarity to your life. And it is this clarity that directs your fragrance purchases.
