Scents and aromas are a powerful thing. They can often determine your mood, productivity and become a mirror of your personality. When choosing a candle to burn, you often pick the scent that suits the ambience of your home, makes you feel relaxed, and above all reflects your personality traits.
Which scent suits your sign?
And if you follow astrology, you’ll know that your zodiac sign can reveal a lot about the things you like and dislike. And choosing a candle is no different.
To make your life easier, candle-lovers at online marketplace OnBuy.com studied the stars and put together a list of candle scents you should burn based on your zodiac sign, from two of the nation’s favourite candle retailers.
Aries
Candle Scent: Relax
If you have the sign of the “ram” as your zodiac sign, you’re not only caring and encouraging, but also known for your energetic and impulsive behaviour. To help keep your lively personality at bay, your recommended scent would be Relax by Lily Flame.
Libra
Candle Scent: Strawberry Buttercream
Libras are known for their charming and lovable personalities, so if you’re born between September and October, then your preferred candle scent may be something sweet. Why not try Strawberry Buttercream from Yankee Candle; but remember not to eat it.
Taurus
Candle Scent: Clean Cotton
Anyone born as a Taurus has the sign of the bull and known for their patience as well as strong-willed nature. As a Taurus, you love to have a tidy mind and environment. Therefore, the candle scent that mirrors your personality best is Clean Cotton by Yankee Candle.
Scorpio
Candle Scent: Mellow Figs and Garden Mint
A Scorpio is passionate, magnetic, and unafraid of what others think. OnBuy selected Mellow Figs and Garden Mint from Lily Flame, a perfect accompaniment for someone who enjoys an original and unique aroma experience.
Gemini
Candle Scent: Wild Jasmine
If you’re born in the Spring months of May to June, you’re characterised as someone with originality, fascination and adventure. Wild Jasmine by Lily Flame is the ultimate candle scent, also known for growing in Spring; a fitting combination.
Sagittarius
Candle Scent: Red Raspberry
If your star sign is a Sagittarius, then you may be brutally honest at times, however, you also love to go off the beaten track and explore. Perhaps a wild aroma like Red Raspberry by Yankee Candle will hit the spot.
Cancer
Candle Scent: Black Coconut
The emotional creatures that Cancers are find their pleasure in nurturing and caring for others. Their romantic side is also a very dominant trait, therefore if you want luxurious tranquillity, then opt for Black Coconut by Yankee Candle – a very popular choice.
Capricorn
Candle Scent: Coffee Galore
The loyal and family orientated Capricorn has his or her hands full when looking after their loved ones. Notoriously smart and hardworking, a Capricorn most likely relies on their hot cup of morning coffee, so their scent of choice should be Coffee Galore by Lily Flame.
Leo
Candle Scent: Lemon Lavender
Leos have an intense, courageous and affectionate personality. They are bold and natural leaders at the same time, so from time to time, a Leo needs to tame their fiery side. So, Lemon Lavender, which is considered classic and warm, yet striking in flavour, is the way to the heart of a Leo.
Aquarius
Candle Scent: Just Vanilla
If Aquarius is your star sign, you may be shy, and aloof, but also a deep thinker who is highly intellectual. Because there are so many sides to an Aquarius, play it safe and purchase Just Vanilla, a classic, yet fitting scent by Lily Flame.
Virgo
Candle Scent: Springtime
Virgos have a lively and loyal personality, as well as being smart and kind. Although a Virgo is someone born towards the end of summer, their personality mirrors Springtime – a candle and a time of year when everyone has that feel good feeling.
Pisces
Candle Scent: Pink Sands
Pisces individuals are compassionate, kind and selfless. They are also creative and imaginative and aspire to achieve emotional and spiritual harmony. Pink Sands by Yankee Candle offers the exotic escape they are after with sweet, yet spicy notes.
