It’s Leo season, and if you’ve ever met a Leo, you would know how much they love extravagance, luxury, and beautiful things all around. Some may take this as arrogance, but if I’m being honest, Leo’s high standards and perfectionism are things we should all be carrying around with us in both our character and attitude. We should all know our worth and never settle for less.
Leo’s are warm, bold, and bright. Just like the August sun they were born under. They are naturally regal. The Leos are the Gryffindors and the Lannisters. They are the Lion King.
If there’s any season of the year in which we should all allow ourselves to indulge in luxury, it most definitely is Leo season. Therefore, we put together this list of fragrances for you to awaken the lion in you or to gift to your Leo friends. It is their birthday month, after all. And yes, you should be celebrating them all month.
For Her:
1. Chanel Coromandel EDP

|---|---|
| Brand | Chanel |
| Best for | Women |
| Notes | Top notes: Bitter Orange, Citruses, and Neroli Middle notes: Patchouli, Orris Root, Rose, and Jasmine Base notes: White Chocolate, Benzoin, Amber, Olibanum, Incense, Woody Notes, and Musk |

| Perfumer | Jacques Polge |
Chanel is a favorite amongst my Leo friends. It is a brand with a legacy of elegance and sophistication that Leos admire and respect. Coromandel by Chanel stands out in Chanel’s perfume inventory the way Leo stands out between the Zodiacs.
The bright notes at the opening are as bright as Leo’s personality. The rest of the notes blend together beautifully to create an ambery musk fragrance. Coromandel matches the luxurious depth that Leo craves.
2. Amouage Dia 40 Extrait De Parfum
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Amouage |
| Best for | Women |
| Notes | Top notes: Aldehydes, Cyclamen, Musk, Violet Leaf, and Black Currant Middle notes: Ylang-Ylang, Rose, Carnation, Orange Blossom, Cistus Incanus, Tarragon, and Bay Leaf Base notes: Orris Root, Sandalwood, Amyris, and Guaiac Wood |
| Release year | 2023 |
| Longevity | Over 10 hours |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Alexandra Carlin |
I have included two Amouage fragrances in this list, one for him and one for her. Amouage is a luxury perfume brand and is one of my favorites. Dia 40 is an intense and opulent perfume that will make anyone wearing it the center of attention.
What really makes Amouage stand out as a brand is the unique and niche combination of notes it uses in its fragrances. This is evident in the notes found in Dia 40 and all of Amouage’s other products.
For Him:
1. Penhaligons The Impudent Cousin Matthew EPD
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Penhaligon’s |
| Best for | Men |
| Notes | Top notes: Mandarin Orange Middle notes: Petitgrain Base notes: Patchouli |
| Release year | 2018 |
| Longevity | Over 8 hours |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Penhaligon’s |
If there’s one thing about Leos that we know, it’s their desire to stand out. They want to shine and receive compliments from everyone in the room as they are told how good they look and smell.
The Impudent Cousin Matthew by Penhaligons is Leo’s ideal summer fragrance, as it is undeniably refreshing and intoxicating. The notes are simple, but that only means we are getting more of each, and each stands out with a robust scent.
2. Amouage Gold Man EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Amouage |
| Best for | Men |
| Notes | Top notes: Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose Hip, and Incense Middle notes: Jasmine, Orris Root, and Myrrh Base notes: Civet, Musk, Oakmoss, Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli and Cedar |
| Release year | 1983 |
| Longevity | Over 8 hours |
| Projection | Strong |
| Perfumer | Guy Robert |
The second Amouage fragrance on this list is Gold Man. There is a women’s version of this fragrance that I also recommend to Leo women.
If there’s anything that this fragrance can do so well, is seduce. With both civet and musk in the base paired with patchouli notes, no one will be able to resist the wearer of this perfume. The florals in the opening and heart give this fragrance a softness that is heavenly.
Unisex:
1. Francis Kurkdjian 724 EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Maison Francis Kurkdjian |
| Best for | Unisex |
| Notes | Top notes: Aldehydes and Calabrian bergamot Middle notes: Egyptian Jasmine, Mock Orange, and Sweet Pea Base notes: White Musk and Sandalwood |
| Release year | 2022 |
| Longevity | 8 hours |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Francis Kurkdijian |
Francis Kurkdijian is no stranger to making iconic scents. The Baccarat Rouge is a name and perfume that is recognized almost everywhere. 724 is another gorgeous scent by this brand, but unfortunately, this unisex fragrance doesn’t get half the recognition that it deserves, and this is why I would like to shine some light on it.
724 is a clean perfume, but it is in no way subtle. It is fresh and bright and can be smelt from a mile away. Being a seasonal fragrance, I wouldn’t recommend this perfume for winter wear, but as a summer fragrance, I would recommend you wear it every day!
2. Olive Perfumes Boutique Niche 1979 EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Olive Perfumes |
| Best for | Unisex |
| Notes | Top notes: Cardamom Middle notes: Leather and Jasmine Sambac Base notes: Amber, Moss, and Patchouli |
| Release year | 2021 |
| Longevity | Over 8 hours |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Olive Perfumes |
Boutique Niche by Olive Perfumes is not to be looked over. This UAE-based perfume brand is high-quality, reliable, and unique. Checks all the boxes for Leo.
The cardamom opening really hits you when you first smell it, reminiscent of Arabic coffee. When this fragrance dries down, it transforms into an amber floral goodness that certainly lives up to Leo’s high standards.
We’re not trying to take any of the attention from the Leos, but we have also made lists of perfumes that are best for other zodiac signs. These include Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer.
