The Best Perfume for Your Astrological Sign 2025

If you’re wondering which perfume is best for you based on your zodiac sign, you’re in the right place. Astrology goes so much deeper than just your personality or compatibility with others. Perfume is one of the oldest known forms of incorporating beauty and luxury into your life. Astrology is one of the oldest tools for self-discovery. When you combine the two, what you get is a scent-sational new layer of understanding yourself, what you’re drawn to, and how the stars align to make you smell divine.

Our scent preferences are surprisingly tied to our birth chart’s cosmic makeup. Earth signs tend to gravitate toward grounded, woodsy notes. Fire signs usually want something bold and unforgettable. Air signs? They love something effervescent, light, or a little “out there.” Water signs, naturally, tend to choose scents that evoke a memory, emotion, or sensuality within themselves and those within close proximity.

Perfume is more than just a scent with a price tag, it’s where identity, memories, and aura exist in liquid form. Let your birth chart guide you to the one that helps you feel like your most magnetic, mysterious, or romantic self. As an astrologer, I highly recommend looking at your Venus sign for an even more aligned perfume and discover the fragrance that was quite literally written in the stars for you. Below, find the best perfume for your astrological sign and let your smell speak for itself.

Aries: Bold, Daring, Always First

Aries is the fearless firestarter of the zodiac, ruled by Mars and fueled by competition, adrenaline, and charm. You’re magnetic without even trying, and your signature scent should arrive before you do. Try a sensual, woody, and fresh scent like Bois Imperial or a clean-yet-sexy musky citrus that smells like confidence in a bottle from The Heart Company.

Taurus: Sensual, Luxurious, Earthy

Taurus, ruled by the planet Venus, is the undisputed ruler of good taste. You love a fragrance that’s romantic, indulgent, and long-lasting, ideally one that pairs as well with a cashmere sweater as it does with your favorite pair of jeans. I recommend a creamy, vanilla blend like the one from Le Monde Gourmand, notes of green fig from Phlur Father Figure, or Urban Collection’s Valentine featuring amber and bourbon.

Gemini: Curious, Playful, Ever-Changing

Gemini is ruled by Mercury and loves to surprise people with their dualistic nature. One day you want to smell crisp and refreshing. The next? Like crackling wood burning til midnight. You need an array of perfume options that keep up with your fast-paced lifestyle. Juniper berries and lavender curl up together in Chanel’s Edimbourg. Sol De Janeiro’s hair and body mist in Cheirosa 68 is perfect for a fun and flirty day to night wear. And a delightful trip away to the Amalfi coast is just a spritz away with Maison Margiela’s Replica Never Ending Summer perfume. Trust me, if you’re looking for a gift for the Gemini in your life, you can’t go wrong with these options.

Cancer: Nurturing, Dreamy, Nostalgic

Cancer is ruled by the moon, meaning everything you do is steeped in emotion and memories. You gravitate toward fragrances that remind you of sentimental days of the past, old lovers, salty air, or the smell of sitting down at a posh, timeless vanity. What will today bring? Only you decide, from each spritz. Go with a powdery floral with iris and cream notes like Yesterday Haze or a skin scent with notes of vetiver, vanilla and orchids from Bohemian Fig. Also on my radar? A lychee and peony perfume like Aerin Fleur de Peony.

Leo: Dramatic, Magnetic, Iconic

Leos are ruled by the sun and should never shrink from the spotlight. You need a fragrance that makes people stop and ask, “What is that smell?” Take up olfactory space, you know you’re the main character! Try a warm and spicy scent with hints of jasmine like Phlur’s Missing Person or a solar-inspired scent with notes of coconut like Elis Brooklyn Miami Nectar. If you want to go a different route, try a musky undertone like Glossier’s You Fleur.

Virgo: Clean, Refined, Timeless

Virgos are ruled by Mercury and deeply in tune with the body, health, and the little things. You like a scent that feels clean, smart, and thoughtfully layered. You’re not trying to be the loudest in the room, you’re trying to be the best-smelling one. Try an addictive and timeless floral woody scent like this one from Chloe. Our editors are obsessed with Orebella’s Salted Muse. Sea salt, pink pepper, and olive trees wisp you into a land unknown with that one. Or try a marshmallow and peach nectar to add a sweet addition to your fragrance routine from DedCool’s Mochi Milk.

Libra: Romantic, Harmonious, and Charming

Libra is ruled by Venus and has a sixth sense for anything beauty-related. Your perfect scent should feel like a compliment you never forget. It should flirt, linger, and elevate your already flawless vibe. A buttery floral with pear notes like YSL’s Lavalliere is a great option. Open your heart with dewy gardenia and floral scents with BO’s Ave Maria or go tender and timeless with Miss Dior bouquet-style perfume.

Scorpio: Intense, Mysterious, Hypnotic

Ruled by Pluto and Mars, Scorpio’s scent needs to feel private, potent, and impossible to place. You don’t want your perfume to smell like anyone else’s, you want it to smell like you, but after dark.Chanel No 5 L’Eau is powdery floral with notes of ylang-ylang that will transport you (and whoever is closest to you) into another dimension. A perfect creamy floral like Prada’s Paradoxe will give your presence an upper hand. And a second skin fragrance like DedCool’s Xtra Milk is one of many layers, just like you.

Sagittarius: Adventurous, Wild, and Unforgettable

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion. You’re not here to wear scents that “play it safe.” Opt instead for a fragrance that feels like the moment you step off of a plane and into a new city. A feeling that you can carry around with you in a little glass bottle! It’s in the name (and the scent notes) with Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino. A sultry and fun favorite, Carolina Herrera’s Very Good Girl is a knockout (like you). And notes of rose and jasmine make Idole by Lancome a standout.

Capricorn: Elegant, Powerful, Grounded

Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn prefers something timeless over trendy. Your signature scent is refined, classic, and quietly commanding, like a leather bag or a well-aged bottle of wine. Byredo’s Mojave Ghost is a dry woody fragrance that will leave you (and those around you) entranced. An affordable perfume favorite is found in Zara’s Gardenia. Try a sensual scent with orange and lavender undertones with YSL’s Libre Intense.

Aquarius: Unique, Innovative, Rule-Breaking

Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, is always 10 steps ahead of the rest of us. You want a scent that doesn’t follow trends, but starts them. You gravitate toward futuristic, unconventional scents that feel one-of-one. Hypnotic Vanilla is the perfect affordable addition to round out your collection. Kay Ali has a scent inspired by lush Hawaiian landscapes and bananas.

Pisces: Ethereal, Intuitive, Enchanting

Pisces, ruled by Neptune, swims between worlds. You wear fragrance like a poem: fluid, emotive, and usually a little misunderstood. You’re drawn to perfumes that feel soft, dreamy, and transcendent. The perfect ode to prickly pear and fields of flowers is in Ilio by Diptyque. A dreamy gourmand with vanilla and tonka bean, Henry Rose’s Dave is delightful. What’s better than a Lazy Sunday Morning? Maison Margiela has us wondering the same thing.
