Capricorns will enjoy something a little more luxurious on their wedding day. ‘Your love for quality and rare finds means you prefer luxury beauty pieces,’ agrees Inbaal. ‘Ruled by Saturn, you appreciate fragrances that reflect your ambitious personality. Opt for a fragrance with sandalwood, patchouli, or cedar to match your earthy nature.’

Rich, expensive scents, as well as those with an earthy undertone, will match the vibe of a Capricorn wedding. Consider these notes:

  • Sandalwood
  • Patchouli
  • Cedar
  • Vetiver
  • Leather

Aquarius (20 Jan-18 Feb)

‘Aquarius, your innovative and selfless nature means you prefer fresh and dewy beauty finds,’ says Inbaal. ‘Ruled by Uranus, you enjoy experimenting with unique fragrances. Neroli and rosemary fuel Aquarius’s independence, intellect, and humanitarianism, urging Aquarians to put their global ideals into action.’

Aries (21 Mar-19 Apr)

‘As an Aries, your adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors demand a fragrance that can keep up with your dynamic lifestyle,’ says Inbaal. ‘Ruled by Mars, the planet of passion, you need an uplifting scent that energises you. The clean and optimistic notes of orange and bergamot are perfect for you.’

Notes To Look Out For:

With this in mind, it’s though that Aries brides and grooms should opt for scents with woodsy and spicy notes:

  • Cedarwood
  • Sandalwood

  • Blackberry
  • Bergamot

Taurus (10 Apr-20 May)

Warmer scents strike a happy chord for Taurus on their wedding day, says Inbaal. ‘Taurus, your love for quality and indoor luxuries means you favour timeless and exquisite beauty finds,’ she highlights. ‘Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, you are drawn to deep, opulent scents. The opulence of frankincense and myrrh speak to your warm personality.’

Gemini (21 May-20 Jun)

‘Gemini, your vibrant and sociable nature calls for a fragrance that is exciting, uplifting, and floral,’ explains Inbaal. ‘Ruled by Mercury, you need a gentle scent that refreshes without overpowering. The gentle embrace of lily and jasmine will reassure you that life is beautiful.’

Light and fresh scents will help a Gemini shine on their big day, so look out for fragrances with:

  • Lemon
  • Bergamot
  • Lavender
  • Lily

Cancer (21 Jun-22 Jul)

Marine accords and nostalgic scents are winners for Cancers on their wedding day. ‘Cancer, your sensitive and nostalgic nature means you prefer classic, crowd-pleasing fragrances,’ says Inbaal. ‘Ruled by the Moon, you cherish scents that evoke fond memories. Classic notes of vanilla and sea salt remind you of childhood holidays and carefree days spent with your favourite people.’

Notes To Look Out For:

While perfumes with sentimental value will appeal to a Cancer bride and groom, they’ll also feel at home in sea-inspired scents. These notes are especially appealing:

  • Jasmine
  • Lily
  • Vanilla
  • Sea salt

Leo (23 Jul-Aug 22)

‘Leo, your powerful presence and sunny nature demand bold and eye-catching fragrances,’ recommends Inbaal. ‘Ruled by the Sun, you thrive in the spotlight with bright and powerful scents. Fearless notes of vanilla, almond and orchid match your big personality and bigger heart.’

Notes To Look Out For:

Go big and go bold, Leo. You’ll want a wedding fragrance that makes an impact, so look out for notes like:

  • Rose
  • Vanilla
  • Soft musk
  • Florals

Intense, charismatic notes like cinnamon and orris are perfect for your enigmatic nature.’
