What perfume to wear: according to your Zodiac
Match your star sign to your scent with our guide, as written by resident River Island astrologer Ashleigh. Disclaimer: these are 100% accurate and not for entertainment purposes ;)
Aries
Fire sign Aries is the first of the Zodiac and subsequently super competitive, so it’s no surprise they’d want to smell the best. Aries is motivated, enthusiastic and a great pioneer, they need a scent that can keep up with them. Fresh Vetiver is a surprising mix (just what our Aries likes) of sweet Baies, rose, cardamon and lemon, the base note of Amber is also a warming fragrance to align with this fire element.
Gemini
Geminis are Sunshine Spirit in a bottle - you never know what you're going to get with this surprising combo of sweet-but-citrus, and that's part of the charm. Bergamot, sweet orange neroli, sea salt, jasmine, coconut and rose meet musk and amber to leave the senses feeling energised and lively – just like a date with an extroverted and expressive Gemini.
Leo
A lover of all things luxurious and romantic, Leo and Paris Night go together like a glass of red wine at your favourite bistro. A warm, oriental, floral fragrance, Leo's light up a room with their lioness energy and their fragrance is no different. Paris Night announces their entry before they do.
Libra
Lovely Libra is the sweetest Zodiac, bringing harmony, peace and beauty to all that they touch. Ruled by Venus, this sign is femininity personified, RI Paris's floral scent is the perfect pair for Libra. Top notes of freesia, mandarin and grapefruit are balanced with amber, sandalwood, rose and sweet pea, just like our kind Libra.
Sagittarius
Experience-seeking Sagittarius is here for a good time, and certainly not one to miss out: they always would rather be in Milan. This fruity scent is sure to leave a lasting impression, just like a Sag. Featuring worldly ingredients like Bergamot, sandalwood, violet and jasmine, it’s as cultured as this Zodiac
Aquarius
Out-of-this-world Aquarius stands out from the crowd for their unique take on just about anything. It’s hard to bottle an Aquarius, and yet Amber & Vanilla is surprising enough to epitomise the Aquarian energy. Vanilla is fused with coconut for a sugary, warm fragrance, yet the amber and cedarwood offer something a little more stand-out.
Cancer
Nurturing. Sensitive. Compassionate. All words we'd use to describe this sign. The scent to match could only be Cashmere Musk. It's like a warm hug of Bergamot, Iris fusion and musk: similar to your favourite love-worn jumper.
Scorpio
Mysterious Scorpio has that special sauce that keeps you wondering, that’s why Wonder Fig is their secret scent weapon. It has top notes of fresh and fruity fig with an undertone of cedarwood, magnified by fresh violet. It’s a statement fragrance that quietly broods just like a Scorpio.
Capricorn
Capricorns are the reliable goat with expensive taste, they require a fragrance that will be both timeless and enticing. Attentive to their looks, they’re always polished on the outside and *always* smell amazing. If you’re looking for an extra hit of bold elegance, Patchouli & Amber is it.
Pisces
The all-feeling sign of Pisces transcends space and time; their signature scent London is no different, this floral and fruity fragrance embodies the romantic vibes of Pisces who sees the world through whimsical hues. Raspberry meets lemon and neroli with rose, sandalwood and musk for that feeling of familiarity that our nostalgia-loving Pisces craves.
Taurus
Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, rules down-to-earth Taureans: giving them their natural self-belief and unmistakeable allure. Decadent Night is basically confidence in a bottle, with a spicy, earthy cocktail to leave them wanting more.
Virgos
Virgos are immaculate and their fragrance should reflect this: they’re also subtle, alluring and enticing (see: Beyonce, Blake Lively Zendaya). Decadent Day is the perfect match, as every spritz encapsulates the soft side of glamour via top notes of sweet Ylang Ylang balanced by Peony with a Musky Sandalwood base.
