People born under the sign of Aquarius like to believe themselves to be a mystery to others, and to many, they are. They are the ones who always present themselves with confidence and pride, even when they’re in shambles.
The eleventh sign in the zodiac, Aquarius, is ruled by Uranus. This rebellious planet embodies the air-driven qualities of this sign, fueling Aquarians’ innovative spirit and relentless pursuit of progress. Many confuse Aquarius as a water sign, but in fact, it is an air sign along with Gemini and Libra. Therefore, people born under this sign tend to be outspoken about matters they are passionate about, a trait we commonly see in air signs. Aquarians stand out, though, due to their unique fashion sense and style.
All that being said, Aquarians also have a sensitive side that tends to be overlooked. This side of their personality requires love and attention that they are too proud to ask for. They are also extremely stubborn but this is just them being a fixed sign, like Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio.
Fragrances that attract Aqurarians are light, airy scents with notes of neroli, citrus, and other fresh notes. But, uniqueness is a trait that is valuable to Aquarius. Therefore, they find themselves really drawn to niche fragrances and brands. Without further ado, here is a list of the best fragrances for this peculiar sign.

Aquarius women are known for having a strong sense of individuality; they prefer to stand out than blend with the crowd. They tend to be drawn to things that aren’t particularly trending and always add their own special touch to things.
Due to this, I recommend Dolce, by Dolce & Gabbana. A floral fragrance for women that is unlike any other floral scent I’ve tried before. With its unique blend of floral and citrus scents, the neroli combines beautifully with the florals at the heart of this perfume, as the musk and cashmeran give off a warm and woody aroma with floral and spicy undertones.

Neroli is the note/scent I associate most with Aquarians due to its unique sweet, honeyed, and somewhat metallic with green and spicy aroma that is irresistible and hard to ignore. What is Neroli? It is an essential oil produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree.
