What's Your Scent Sign?
Fragrance is deeply personal, just like your Zodiac sign. So why not choose yours according to the stars?
By: Lady LibertyHere's an idea for when you're looking for your next signature scent. Rather than becoming overwhelmed by fragrance families, or spending ages deciphering the full perfume glossary of terms, have you considered a cosmic approach? Shopping via your star sign is a clever way to find a fragrance that encapsulates every layer of your personality. Below, we tasked Lady Liberty with identifying the best perfume to suit every zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Urania Lance of Love Eau de Parfum 50ml, £90
The first sign in the Zodiac is a natural born leader, known for its adventurous, confident nature. (Star Trek’s Captain Kirk might well have been thinking of Aries when uttering his famous line “to boldly go where no man has gone before…”). This sign is best matched with something bold, distinctive and energetic, like Urania’s Lance of Love.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur 100ml, £240
Taureans aren’t just headstrong, they’re also patient, reliable and persistent. The fragrance equivalent is a formula with strong longevity - something well structured that will last all day long. Taureans are also sensual creatures, so something like Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur blends the practical and sultry qualities of this sign.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Fugazzi Thirsty 100ml, £145
Talking at a million miles per hour, asking a thousand questions, diving down rabbit holes, and captivating people with their witty and flirtatious ways - it can only be a Gemini. This sign demands a fragrance that shares their charisma, reflecting their dual nature via an intriguing structure and a variety of notes. Fugazzi's Thirsty has the right balance of these elements to satisfy this voracious sign.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Loewe Ivy Home Fragrance 150ml, £95, £145
The crab carries their home on their back, a protective shell which they retreat into regularly to contemplate their emotions and make sense of the world. A sensitive, compassionate sign, Cancerians love nothing more than creating a warm, comforting environment for themselves and those they love. A peaceful and inviting domestic space is a Cancer signature, scented with something delicate like Loewe’s Ivy Home Fragrance.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Guerlain Jicky 75ml, £125
Leos pair well with classic fragrances: confident, charismatic scents that stand the test of time, just like this ambitious and loyal Zodiac sign. A spritz of the right scent creates a halo effect, much like the Leo’s signature mane, so strong sillage is important. Jicky by Guerlain is part of the house’s Les Legendaires collection. It’s timeless yet modern, with a Leo-esque, rule-breaking edge.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Liberty LBTY. Liberty Maze 100ml, £225
Nothing gets past a Virgo, the star sign known for their meticulous attention to detail and perfectionist nature. Only the best will do, so fragrance-wise this means something carefully crafted, designed by world-renowned perfumers. The Liberty LBTY. fragrances will satisfy a Virgo’s rigour. Beautifully structured using the finest ingredients, each scent conjures a magical garden - the perfect place for a stressed out Virgo to unwind.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Vanilla Planifolia 50ml, £115
Everyone knows that Libras love balance. Represented by the scales, they’re the peacekeepers, synonymous with harmony and diplomacy. Their gentle nature also makes them a charming, romantic sign, one that’s well-suited to delicate, floral fragrances - like those you’ll find at Chloé’s Atelier des Fleurs in Liberty’s Fragrance Lounge.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Kilian Black Phantom 50ml, £220
The Scorpio elicits strong reactions. You’ll either instantly love them,
or instantly not, and they’re fine with that because they’re not
changing for you. They’re scrupulously upfront (you’ll realise that as
soon as they tell you that your new highlights remind them of early
2000s boybands with frosted tips), but there’s no one braver than
the Scorpio. They wear Vyrao The Sixth. Provocative herbal notes come
flanked by others that mimic the Scorpio’s powerful character –
angelica root, patchouli, fennel and peppermint
and, in typical Scorpio style, a subversive bright tang from
apple. The Scorpio always reserves the right to surprise.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Bibbi Swimming Pool 100ml, £225
Those born under the Sagittarius sign are seekers. They look for the deeper meaning within things, exploring the world through a spiritual lens. Bibbi Parfum was created from this same curiosity, inspired by founder Stina’s journeys into her inner world via meditation. Dive into this subconscious realm with Swimming Pool, whose invigorating eucalyptus, menthe and ginger notes will send the Sagittarius off on their next adventure.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Creed Aventus 100ml, £295
The pragmatic Capricorn needs a scent as reliable as they are. Responsible (and pessimistic at times - although they’d call it realism), the Capricorn prefers something robust and classic over a wild or experimental scent. Longevity and structure are important, making Creed’s Aventus an ideal match for this sign. Inspired by power and success, this world-famous fragrance shares Capricorn’s ambition and determination.

Aquarius (January 20 – Febuary 18)
D.S. & Durga Wear at Maximum Volume Eau de Parfum 50ml, £155
This sign is known to be chilly upon first encounter, but reveals their eccentric side as they open up. Fragrance-wise, the Aquarius loves anything unconventional, making them a good match for Brooklyn-based D.S. & Durga. Founded by a husband and wife duo (musician and architect respectively), the brand has a beautifully oddball energy which is captured in every fragrance.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Diptyque Eau de Parfum Fleur de Peau 75ml, £153.00
The twelfth sign in the Zodiac, Pisces are known for being fluid and compassionate, deeply empathetic when it comes to the feelings of those around them. A Pisces is wary of fragrances with strong projection, preferring a skin scent like Diptyque’s Fleur de Peau - something which responds to the individual wearer and won’t encroach on those around them.
