Perfume horoscopes: Your signature scent is already written in the stars

Read about all 12 perfume horoscopes »

If I were to add up all of the hours of my life I’ve spent searching for the perfect signature fragrance, the results would surely be alarming and disturbing. I know I’m not alone in this lifelong quest, and yet the answer has been right in front of me (and you! us!) the whole time. Well actually, it’s been right above us. More and more people these days are looking toward the stars to better understand their personal sense of style and their preferences when it comes to hair, makeup and, yes, fragrance. With that in mind, I turned to the zodiac to find out more about perfume horoscopes.

With lipstick horoscopes covered, as well as a comprehensive fashion zodiac rundown taken care of, it seems only fitting that perfume horoscopes are next on the list of decisions that can be left up to the stars. It’s like we don’t have to do anything for ourselves anymore. #blessed

Of course, every sign has its defining characteristics, so why shouldn’t those qualities play a role in choosing a fragrance? For instance, Libras provide the emotional equivalent of eating chocolate cake in a bubble bath and thus should smell as sweet as their delightful selves, while Scorpios are known for being dark, mysterious and intimidating, and they deserve to smell as such. So whether you’re a sensitive water sign or a blunt and overwhelming fire sign (apologies on behalf of my people), there are specific fragrance notes and styles you’re likely more drawn to than others depending on, duh, the universe.

Read all about perfume horoscopes and find out which scent you should be wearing.
