May the 4th be with you: A play on words referencing “may the force be with you” and a common saying among Jedi and believers of the force. The 4th of May was declared “Luke Skywalker Day” and was later changed to “Star Wars Day” by Facebook users in 2008, honoring the phrase. Three years later, the first Star Wars Day was celebrated in Toronto, Canada.
“May the Fourth be with you” has become one of the most popular greetings in pop culture, with Star Wars fanatics honoring this day worldwide. Every year on May the 4th, Fans of this iconic franchise organize events to commemorate Goerge Luca’s creation.
Whether you’re going to attend an event or not, one way to celebrate May the fourth is by channeling your inner Jedi or Sith (we won’t judge) by wearing a perfume that embodies the personality, background, and storyline of your favorite Star Wars Character.
1. Princess Leia
Born to be a leader, Princess Leia is a fierce warrior and disciplined leader. She can fire a blaster and pilot a ship one day and conduct a ceremony the next. A character who exudes strength and elegance, Princess Leia always works for the greater good, and that is shown in her diplomatic relations and integrity.
A fragrance with notes of woody florals would make an ideal signature perfume for this fierce and strong-willed galactic princess.
Versace Eros Pour Femme EDP (Women)
A fragrance that represents fierce femininity so well, Eros by Versace is a floral woody musk fragrance that channels strength and sensuality. Just the right fragrance for a princess who is not afraid to charge into battle.

2. Luke Skywalker
A brave and noble young man, Luke is a character that we watch grow and mature throughout the franchise. Young Skywalker starts off as a farm boy from Tatooine and goes on to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known.
Luke’s heroism and bravery may make him seem reckless and shallow, but there is much more to his character than meets the eye. A fragrance profile of citrusy openings transitioning to earthy and musky notes at the heart and base perfectly reflects this character.
Versace Eros EDP (Men)
Of course, we chose the men’s version of Leia’s fragrance for her twin.
Opening with notes of mint, green apple, and lemon, Eros for Men offers a surprising twist in scents in which it transitions from a fresh fragrance into an aromatic and deep perfume. With vanilla, tonka beans, cedar, vetiver, and oakmoss notes at the base, giving it a mysterious and alluring edge.

3. Han Solo
The Galaxy’s number-one bad boy. A fan-favorite character that is charming and witty, with a rugged, cool-boy appearance (we know that Han would cringe at the idea of being called a cool boy).
At the beginning of the franchise, we see Han Solo just as his name suggests: A rogue smuggler who only takes care of number one, himself. Han’s adventure with his newly found friends brings out a compassionate side of him that he didn’t realize he had, making him one of the most liked characters in the franchise, in spite of his flaws. Nothing matches Han’s charisma and charm better than a tobacco-dominant intoxicating fragrance.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille EDP (Unisex)
A fan-favorite fragrance for a fan-favorite character, this is a very niche fragrance that requires an acquired taste to appreciate. It perfectly reflects Han’s character. This fragrance might seem strange to you at first if you’re not acquainted with tobacco fragrances, but it won’t take you long to be addicted to this intoxicating scent.

4. Obi-Wan Kenobi
The mentor. Obi-Wan is a noble, legendary Jedi master. He guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor, but years before that, he trained Anakin Skywalker, who later became the strongest and most powerful Jedi and Sith in the galaxy.
Kenobi has an aura of wisdom and maturity and needs a fragrance that mirrors that. A rich, warm, and captivating fragrance with patchouli and woody notes is ideal for those looking to channel their inner Jedi master.
Burberry Mr. Burberry EDP (Men)
With a warm and calming aura, Mr. Burberry translates mature masculinity in the best way possible. One of the most important character attributes of a mentor is their ability to naturally guide others to a stable and well-balanced state of mind. A well-balanced and unforgettable fragrance will help you bring out your inner Obi-Wan Kenobi.

5. Yoda
A character mostly loved by children for his serene aura, Yoda is legendary and has a stronger connection with the Force than most. As a leading member of the Jedi High Council, he was known to be the wisest character in the universe, having lived up to 900 years.
Yoda is associated with the color green and carries the aura of earthy and mossy notes. A fragrance that smells like the earth after rain perfectly embodies Yoda’s character.

Yoda would have loved this fragrance. Its combination of spicy, woody, and earthy notes will make you feel one with the force.

6. Darth Vader
We saved the best for last. The most powerful Jedi and Sith in the universe, Darth Vader, uses his deep understanding of the force to gain domination and status. As a young Jedi, he rebukes the Jedi Council’s outdated rules and restrictions.
As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Although he meant well, Anakin Skywalker’s deep hatred for the Jedi Order made him very vulnerable to the temptation of the dark side. To match the allure of the dark side, a fragrance with a leather note is all that is needed to highlight your inner dark lord.
Tom Ford Ombré Leather EDP (Unisex)
A fragrance that will take you into a world of sophistication and refinement with a deep, rich, and intense profile. Embodying the seduction of the dark side, Ombré Leather is a fragrance of smoke and mirrors.
