"Of all the passing interests that came and went in 2024, my fragrance obsession only grew. I went from a single bottle I rarely remembered to spritz to amassing an impressive fragrance collection that no reasonable person could ever use up. As fun as it is to experiment with different perfumes—2025 is set to be all about fragrance maxxing—now that we’re in a new year, I’m yearning for one go-to scent that can carry me through the next 12 months. It only makes sense: new year, new me, new signature scent. This fragrance will set the tone for your entire year, so it can’t simply be one you like—it has to be a scent that completely embodies who you are and what your 2025 goals are.
If it isn’t going to make me feel like I’m wrapped up in a warm hug, I’m not wearing it.
After sniffing hundreds of perfumes at Sephora to find a fragrance that exceeded my impossibly high standards, I realized my methodology wasn’t working. Instead of perusing store aisles, I’m looking at my zodiac to find a perfume that encompasses my personality. I mean, your zodiac is supposed to speak to your truest personality and deepest desires, right? So, if you’re on a similar journey, I’ve done the work for you. Here is your 2025 signature scent based on your zodiac sign.
Aries
Aries are nothing if not determined, so in 2025, they’re committed to checking every single resolution off their list. They need a bold fragrance to inspire them, and YSL Libre embodies the energy of a confident woman ready to take action. With lavender and orange blossom top notes and a vanilla and musk base, it’s a well-rounded perfume that you can wear in any season, for any occasion.
Taurus
If it were up to Tauruses, the entirety of 2025 would be spent in an expensive hotel or spa. While that may not be realistic, at the very least, they can have a fragrance that speaks to their luxurious side. Mojave Ghost by Byredo is a fresh, woody scent with notes of ambrette, violet, sandalwood, and magnolia. It’s a clean, relaxing perfume that feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s also extremely reliable and can be worn to the office or on a date night—perfect for a loyal Taurus.
Gemini
Indecisive Geminis probably have the hardest time choosing a signature scent out of all the signs. When there are so many facets of your personality, how can one perfume possibly capture all of them? Thankfully, Glossier You Doux is coming to the rescue. Like the original Glossier You, this smells slightly different on everyone as it reacts to your skin chemistry, so it’s uniquely tailored to you. This fragrance opens with violet, and on the dry down, Palo Santo, Frankincense, and Myrrh come forward for a woody second-skin scent. It’s as adaptable as Geminis themselves and can stick by their side through all the rebrands they’re sure to have this year.
Cancer
We all know that Cancers love to stay in their comfort zone, so in 2025, they need a fragrance that feels comforting, but can also help them get out of their shell a little bit. Juliette Has a Gun Vanilla Vibes is just that. It’s a cozy, warm vanilla perfume that may remind you of cuddling up on the couch with a good book, with an unexpected salt note that adds a fresh, airy quality. As a water sign, that sea salt note will make Cancers feel right at home while inspiring them to expand their horizons.
Leo
Be honest, Leos: You want to be noticed. Being ignored is Leo’s worst nightmare, so they need a fragrance that will catch people’s attention right when they walk through the door; a warm, energetic scent that’s as golden as they are. Enter: Phlur’s Golden Rule. Described as “confident and sensual,” this fruity floral fragrance has notes of mandarin, pink pepper, coconut milk, vanilla, orange flower, and jasmine, which definitely matches Leo’s personality.
Virgo
If I had to describe Virgos in one word, it would be practical. They’re so organized that they probably already have 2025 completely planned out. They’re also perfectionists, so they need a perfume that gets the job done and does it well. The Salt & Stone Santal & Vetiver Body Spray is an internet favorite for good reason. It smells absolutely incredible with warm and woody notes like santal, vetiver, and amber, and also uses glycerin and red algae to hydrate skin when you apply it. The Body Spray doesn’t have all the frills of some other perfumes, which is great for Virgos who don’t want any distractions as they work through their 2025 to-do list.
Libra
Libras are all about fairness and balance, and they also despise confrontation, so they should opt for a subtle fragrance that isn’t going to ruffle any feathers. Lazy Sunday Morning is a fresh, floral scent inspired by the comfort of weekend mornings in sunlit linen sheets. It’s the kind of fragrance where every note works together for a universally beloved scent. It also provides a good reminder to Libras to slow down and relax while conquering their 2025 goals.
Scorpio
It’s hard for Scorpios to find a fragrance that lives up to their reputation. They’re brave, passionate, and fearless, and are bound to make all sorts of bold moves in 2025. A powerful fragrance to compliment those adventures just makes sense. Juliette by Juliette Has a Gun is elegant and romantic with “a hint of rebellion,” and I can’t think of anything more Scorpio. It features dark cherry, jasmine, and tonka bean notes for a warm, fruity floral fragrance with a hint of spice. It’s the ideal companion for all of Scorpio’s 2025 adventures.
Sagittarius
Sagittariuses are the kind of friends who love freedom and will hop on a flight to explore a new city at a moment’s notice. They’re curious and energetic, and their 2025 vision board is probably full of faraway destinations they hope to visit this year. So, their signature scent needs to be joyful, light, and suitable for a crowded airplane. Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower is fresh and zesty, with a floral scent profile that checks all those boxes.
Capricorn
Capricorns are more on the serious side. That’s not to say they don’t have fun or let loose, but they are disciplined, responsible, and self-controlled. They won’t want a fragrance that’s too light or childish; they want something that everyone will take seriously no matter what room they enter this year. What better fragrance to feed their ambition than one that literally has ambition in the name? Cherry Ambition is a spicy, long-lasting perfume that balances tart cherry notes with sweet marshmallow and musk. Capricorns will love wearing this perfume all year long.
Aquarius
In 2025, independent Aquariuses will continue to march to the beat of their own drum. As a sign that values their individuality, a perfume everyone else is wearing is their worst nightmare. Liis’ Ethereal Wave is a niche perfume that not everyone is wearing (yet), which you know Aquariuses will adore. It’s a citrus tea scent with bergamot, white tea, black tea absolute, blonde woods, and velvet musk. Inspired by “celestial allure and emotional depth,” the perfume encapsulates Aquarius’s personality.
Pisces
If you know someone with unmatched intuition, an artistic flair, and a gentle presence, chances are they’re a Pisces. This compassionate sign is always looking for ways to tap into their creativity while simultaneously looking for ways to escape reality. In 2025, they’ll likely be chasing creative visions and manifesting their wildest dreams. The best compliment to that is Ellis Brooklyn’s Dear Sky fragrance. It was inspired by crystal prisms, and I don’t know what’s more Pisces than that. With honeydew melon, white peony, strawberry leaf, and ambrette, this sparkling fruity floral will speak to Pisces’ soul.
