Cancer: Berry Waffle Cone
Bath and Body WorksCancers, the first water sign of the zodiac, are some of the most sensitive people you'll meet. They thrive on caring for others and take pride in knowing that they are able to provide comfort and support to anyone around them. Emily Newman, astrologer and founder at Best of Psychic Reader says that Cancers are passionate and emotional, and that "they love some sweet scents."
They also have an affinity for nostalgia and will take any chance to reminisce about the good 'ol days. Berry Waffle Cone kicks off the summer season and "will give you flashbacks to your happiest times in childhood, when nothing else mattered but enjoying the richness of life itself," says Marquardt.
Leo: Fairytale
Bath and Body WorksWith the sun as their ruling planet, it's no surprise that Leos are often focused on themselves. They live to be the center of attention in any scenario and sometimes it doesn't matter if you feed into it or not—they're going to do what they want regardless.
Fairytale is a scent all about writing your own story, so we'd say this pairing is unmatched.

This combo gives off main character energy for sure.
Virgo: Eucalyptus Spearmint

Scorpio: Dark Kiss
Bath and Body WorksScorpios are dark and mysterious which sometimes comes off as cold, especially if they don't know you that well. But their complexity and edgy vibe will also draw you in, so they need a scent that will do the same.
Newman says Dark Kiss, which combines notes of raspberry, rose, vanilla, and plum musk, will do just that. "It gives an intense seductive smell" that will make Scorpio even harder to resist.
Sagittarius: Classic Flannel
Bath and Body WorksSagittarius are the adventurers of the zodiac who are always down for something new. They truly thrive in wild scenarios and never grow of that thrill-seeking lifestyle. So, you might think they'd be paired with an out-there scent, but it's just the opposite.
Marquardt says that Classic Flannel is the right fragrance because it will balance them out. "With all that exploratory energy, they need something that feels safe and cozy." Plus, it's very on brand for them to switch things up and go with something other people wouldn't expect.
Capricorn: Black Tie
Bath and Body WorksCapricorns are sophisticated, wise, and a touch unapproachable. These earth signs love anything to do with organization and won't hesitate to tell you if you're getting in the way.
