Cancer season is upon us, which means feelings are in full bloom, especially for the celestial crabs in our lives. Affectionately termed as the ‘moms of the zodiac’, these loyal, creative and deeply passionate beings are always in their #CosyEra. Often, there’s a hard shell on the surface that isn’t easy to crack. But once you’re in their circle of trust, you’ve got a friend or partner for life.
Got this sign in your big three? Celebrate yourself with a fragrance (or two) that matches your energy. Or surprise one with a scent that speaks to their soul. You might just find yourself rewarded with freshly baked cookies—a delightful win-win, no doubt.
Nautica
Voyage Man Eau de Toilette for Men
It’s no surprise that this water sign is drawn towards marine notes. Reminiscent of a fresh, salty sea breeze, this aquatic fragrance is a nod to their favourite pastime—endless strolls along the beach, serenaded by the rhythmic crashing of waves.
Viktor&Rolf
Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid Eau de Parfum for Women
Cancerians gravitate towards the familiar. Featuring comforting vanilla and timeless florals like jasmine, this fragrance will envelop them in a cocoon of security and stability.
Versace
Eros Flame Eau De Parfum for Men
The tender crab can sometimes be hot and cold, too. This fragrance captures their ever-changing emotions in a flaming red flacon, blending bold, contrasting accords of mandarin orange, rose, Madagascar pepper, and patchouli that offer a sensory surprise with every whiff.
Rabanne
Olympea Blossom Eau De Parfum for Women
Swiped right on a Cancerian? Dreamy and romantic, they lean towards soft, calming florals for the perfect date night. Like this fruity-floral composition with bright pear, soft Damask rose, and yummy vanilla accords.
4711
Unisex Eau De Cologne
The intuitive crab is an expert at vibe checks, striving to keep their energies balanced and steering clear of overpowering scents. Think clean, second-skin fragrances with musky undertones like this one, complemented by bright lemon and calming lavender.
