Choosing Fragrances Based on Astrology: Fire and Air Signs [PART 1]

perfume bottles

Welcome to a two-part listicle on the best fragrances to choose based on your astrological sign!

In this piece, our focus is on the masculine signs -- Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius, which are also the fire and air signs.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Aries is bold and relentless, making this sign the best to wear a new scent like the vegan perfumes of Floral Street. Be the first to wear scents like their Black Lotus fragrance, a fusion unlike any floral experienced before.

A ginger-infused fragrance also matches the fiery energy of an Aries. Try a sensual blend like Jo Malone London Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne Intense, or play with a floral scent with top notes of ginger with the Twilly d'Hermès Eau de Parfum.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

Gemini is outgoing and adaptable, but they are also indecisive and get bored easily. Limited edition holiday fragrances in mini bottles make a great gift for people of this sign.

Try Atelier Cologne for their mini scents, gibing an option for a new scent to wear when it's time for a change. 

Fragrances with grapefruit also fit the cheery attitude of the Gemini sign. Try a lively scent like Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun Eau de Toilette.

LEO (July 23 to August 22)

This fire sign embraces the royal status of the lion. Leos can be shy but strong, needing a fragrance that is classy and subtle like Honeysuckle and Davana.

The other type of Leo is loud and attention-seeking, so a stronger scent suits them well. Try an attention-grabbing fragrance concocted with white flowers like the fearless femme scent of Ralph Lauren Woman Eau de Parfum.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)

Libra is a perfectionist who is seeking balance. A perfect blend like Burberry Her with fruity notes of cherry and raspberry concocted with jasmine and violet is a strong scent that's meant for you.

Another trait Libra is known for is their love for options, making the fresh new scent of Pink Pepper one to try. We recommend a balanced scent like Byredo Rose Of No Man's Land that smells of feminine rose with spicy pepper.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21)

The energetic Sagittarius will wear Bergamot-infused scents with confidence.

Try the wild and unexpected rosy and citrus blend of Dior Miss Dior Eau de Parfum or opt for bergamot with an earthy scent as in Yves Saint Laurent Y.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)

The free-spirited and non-conformist Aquarius gravitates towards gender-neutral fragrances like Clean Reserve Rain and universal scents like Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur.

Patchouli is an irresistible scent for the Aquarius sign, too. An herbaceous scent like Phlur Améline Eau de Parfum that is not overpowering with florals, or the sexy scent of bare skin like Tiffany & Co. Eau de Parfum are fragrances fit for Aquarius.
