Your Zodiac Sign Will Decide Which Candle You Should Splurge On

Because Virgos tend to be modest and practical, a simple herbal fragrance is the perfect fit. Malin + Goetz's Sage ($54), a bright yet earthy aroma of fresh herbs, eucalyptus, moss, and leather, is an ideal pick for this star sign.

The loyal, reliable Taurus deserves a candle as warm and trustworthy as they are. Byredo's Cotton Poplin ($85) is the perfect pick for this sign, with its fresh, calming combination of chamomile, linen, white cedarwood, and musk scents.

The jovial and optimistic Sagittarius would naturally choose a candle that inspires joy, so our pick is AERIN's Caffarella Vine ($80) with notes of Rome's green pastures, woodlands, and meadows.

The escapist, imaginative, and unworldly characteristics of the Pisces call for a candle that will transport you to another place. Ralph Lauren's Ocean Lane ($60) does just that, with notes of green ozone, water fruits, white floral, and moss.

The practical, reserved, and disciplined Capricorn would never splurge too much on a candle, and would stick to tried-and-true scents. That's why we picked Linnea's Lights Cashmere ($32) with herbal blend notes with patchouli, vanilla and lime.

Cancers are emotional and imaginative, so what better of a candle than one literally themed around fairy tales? Ellis Brooklyn Fable ($60) was inspired by the Aesop fable of Androcles and the Lion, and includes notes of violet, petitgrain, honeysuckle, warm amber, and cedarwood.

Because Geminis are versatile, youthful, and lively, they gravitate toward festive scents like Jonathan Adler's Pop Champagne ($42), which is infused with a fizzy mix of pink grapefruit, sparkling champagne, raspberry, French cassis, violet leaves, rose petals, crushed sage, crisp mint, and grape leaf.

Noted as creative, enthusiastic, expansive, Leos deserve something a bit unexpected from a candle — Diptyque's Géranium Rosa ($64) has sharp, zesty notes of geranium flower and greens that fit the bill.

Something eccentric and unexpected is the only sort of scent worthy of the original, independent, and inventive Aquarius, so we picked Jo Malone's Green Tomato Leaf ($65) with unexpected, evocative notes of glasshouse tomato, galbanum, altemesia, cassis, and moss.

Monique Lhuillier's Citrus Lily ($60) has notes of orange blossoms, gardenias, jasmine, freesia, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, and musk that are adventurous and energetic enough for any Aries.

Because Libras tend toward romantic, idealistic, and indecisive personality traits, the perfect candle should check several boxes, including a multi-faceted scent and sensual notes. That's why we picked Tom Dixon's Orientalist ($80), which evokes the scents of rose petal wedding garland, giant cinnamon sticks, and Chinese herbal market stalls.

Nest's Sahara Spice ($64) has notes of cardamom, sandalwood, ginger, and Madagascar vanilla bean that are perfectly suited to powerful, exciting, and forceful Scorpios.
