Now that it’s spring (hello from the first 70-degree day in NYC! I’m healed!), a fragrance refresh is in the cards. It’s time to swap out your wintery gourmands and woody perfumes for bright, fresh notes. But with so many spring perfumes launching, it can be hard to gauge the right scent for your mood this season. That’s where astrology comes in, because there’s actually a great perfume to discover entirely based on your zodiac sign.
Every zodiac sign has distinct personality traits, and certain fragrance families naturally align with them. For example, air signs tend to be, well, airy—they might love clean musks and floral scents. Meanwhile, a water sign might lean toward soft, romantic, and dreamy perfumes. There are no rules, of course, but if you need a suggestion to get you started, keep scrolling. Consider this your star-approved scent lineup for spring.
For Aries
Armani Power of You Eau de Parfum
Aries needs a bold scent profile to match their energy, but it can’t be so intense that it enters the room before you do. Armani’s Power of You opens with a tropical passionfruit note (along with lemon and solar notes) that’s ideal for warmer temperatures, but there’s a grounding vanilla in the base that prevents it from going too citrus-forward.
For Taurus
Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth Lemon Pie Eau de Parfum
Sabrina Carpenter herself is a Taurus, so it’s no shock she’d create such a yummy perfume for her sign. You’re all about reveling in the sweet parts of life, which is exactly what this gourmand perfume does. There’s candied lemon, sugar, condensed milk, meringue, graham cracker, chantilly cream, vanilla—it’s basically like a decadent dessert you can spritz on your skin.
For Gemini
Belnu Bergamot Brio
There are two sides to every Gemini, and that’s exactly this fragrance. It’s undoubtedly citrus (bubbly and bright, just like you), but there’s a hidden spiciness from pink pepper that peaks through as the scent dries down, creating so much dimension and depth.
For Cancer
Marc Jacobs Fragrances Marc Jacobs Fragrances Daisy Eau so Fresh Eau de Toilette
The nostalgic freshness of Marc Jacobs Daisy is right up the alley of a Cancer. But this version adds a touch of sweetness raspberry and lychee, creating a fruity floral that feels familiar and new at the same time. Plus, the soft and delicate performance of an eau de toilette isn’t so overwhelming.
For Virgo
Henry Rose London 1983 Eau de Parfum
Musk scents are often referred to as “skin scents” because they sit close to you and often smell like your skin, just better—something akin to the straight-forward nature of a Virgo. This figgy interpretation has hints of black pepper and vetiver for a jolt of spice (the most spontaneous thing a Virgo can handle). The simplistic bottle also feels very Virgo-coded.
For Leo
Miu Miu Fleur de Lait Eau de Parfum
If your entire mood boards right now look like sunny beaches, tiny bikinis, and Zara Larsson’s makeup, then you might be a Leo on the verge of losing it over this long winter. Hence why this ultra-summery fragrance complete with creamy coconut milk and tropical mango is the perfect way to lift your spirits while you wait for the weather to catch up.
For Libra
The 7 Virtues Strawberry Jam Eau de Parfum
This spring perfume perfectly tips the scales, Libra. The fragrance is balanced (something you love) between sweet, nutty, and fruity notes to create a pretty realistic scent akin to a strawberry shortcake. It’s flirty and vibrant, too, just like you.
For Scorpio
Dior Purple Glow Eau de Parfum
Scorpios still find joy in mystery and depth, even as temperatures rise. And this floral perfume from Dior checks all of those boxes. There’s an inherent freshness from powdery iris, but the added candied raspberry and creamy vanilla notes take this scent into a sensual territory that evokes all those domineering qualities of a Scorpio.
For Sagittarius
NOYZ Detour Eau de Parfum
Inspired by road trips and spontaneity, NOYZ Detour is quintessentially Sagittarius. This white floral perfume combines gardenia, jasmine, and tiare flower with skin musks for a more rustic interpretation of a classic flowery scent. It veers off the beaten path (somewhere a Sagittarius would prefer to be always).
For Capricorn
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia Eau de Parfum
Capricorn’s have their sh*t together; that’s just a fact. And this plum-based floral scent is exactly the scent of someone who knows what they’re doing with their life (or, at the very least, wants to pretend as such). The scent is deeper and more sophisticated than other florals—something Caps can wear for day or night.
For Aquarius
Boy Smells Solar Drip Perfume
The free, relaxed energy of Aquarians is totally embodied in this sunshine-infused perfume from Boy Smells. The mixture of bright fruit notes and airy florals with skin-like musk is unconventional for a standard summery, sunscreen-like fragrance—but that’s precisely why the open-minded Aqurius would be intrigued by it.
For Pisces
Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower Eau de Parfum
Dreamlike and escapist, Paradoxe Virtual Flower is the citrusy sister to the O.G. Prada perfume that constantly sells out. Like Pisces, it’s ethereal, soft, romantic, and imaginative. In fact, the brand used AI to create a jasmine accord that captures the feeling of the flower versus the natural scent, making it all feel more abstract and modern.
