If you are unsure what perfume scent to wear, it’s a fun idea to try new scents and see how your body chemistry reacts to them throughout the day. As your body reacts to certain stimuli throughout what you encounter during your waking hours, your scent will change. And as you may (or may not know) the sense of smell is the sense most strongly tied to memory. This is why a smell can transport you to another time. So, perhaps you want to smell like a burger or even ice cream. Go for it. But, there’s another way to choose a scent. 

According to BestLife, a fun way to choose your signature perfume scent is to refer to your horoscope. If you’ve already used this strategy when defining your New Year’s resolution, this is for you. You throw everything to the stars and see what they have to say about it. And, it’s not a bad idea. The stars are older than us. They’re probably wiser. With that, let’s get to it. Start smelling like your destiny:

Aries: Ah, the fire sign. Those born under the ram are usually assertive and bold. It’ll match an Aries’ excitable nature. Looking to chill? Try a  lavender perfume, dear ram. It’ll help pull back on some of your impatience. 

Taurus: Hey, fancy. Your style is sophisticated, and you’re quite the charmer. For you, try a low-key perfume scent like Heliotrope, which has lovely notes of vanilla and almond. Don’t stress, it doesn’t smell like food. It’s an elevated earthy scent. This scent can help ground you. 

Gemini: Hey, double darling. Check out a Lilly of the Valley perfume. It has a fun, sparkly side that will make you feel youthful. But, wait for it. This scent is just like you with another side to it. Lilly of the Valley is poisonous if consumed. Deadly beautiful. 

Cancer: Ah, our lovely homebody of all the signs. You like your domicile, and you like feeling safe. It takes a lot for you to share your energies with people throughout the day, so you want to come home to retreat to peace. Try burning Palo Santo. It’s from a tree that grows in South America and has properties that can clear the negativity out of any space. 

Leo: Hi there, my lion baby. You are ruled by the sun. So, try a spritz of a citrus scent perfume to carry you through your day. You are bold and bright, just like a tropical scent. And you love to stand out. Check out scents that have orange or grapefruit notes. 

Virgo: Hello, practical goddess. You have a good head on your shoulders, and you are not easily swayed from your carefully crafted plans. Try a pine perfume. It’s grounded and wholesome and will remind you of your super clean home. 

Libra: You love love, my love. You can’t get enough of it, and you’re the consummate romantic. Your color is red, and your perfume scent is rose. Nothing is more romantic than that. If a rose is too strong for you, choose another flower. 

Scorpio: Oh, our beautiful divas. The scent for you is sensual jasmine. It’s the scent associated with mystery and power. And you, dear, are mysterious and powerful. Be careful with all that appeal. You may cause a panic.

Sagittarius: What’s up, babe? You’re a free thinker and can be obsessed with philosophy, spirituality, and healing. Your scent is Eucalyptus. It’s one of the most ancient perfume scents in the world and matches your strong, worldly ways. 

Capricorn: You have been called a “plain jane,” but you know you’re anything but. There is a lot going on under those still waters, isn’t there? A perfume scent for you is single-note vanilla. At first, simple and easy to understand. Give it a moment longer, it’s complex and powerful.

Aquarius: You are the most intellectual out of all the signs. And you’re a clever innovator. Your scent is clove. Powerful, rebellious, and stimulating. Just like you and your mind. 

Pisces: My hippie sisters and brothers. You are creative and always fantasizing about something or someone. The scent for you is patchouli. Dark, earthy, and musky, it’ll take you to another time and place that you long for. 

So, now that you have found your cosmic perfume scent match, you’ll also know the power that some scents have over you. Which perhaps explains why you’re drawn to some stores over others. If you love hanging out in a bar, you’re also in luck, there’s something special just for you. 

Just remember: the answers are always in the stars.
