Get A Room by Confessions Of A Rebel

Beware of jealous vibes this month — while Venus in Leo brings major passion to your partnerships, possessive energy may start to emerge. If you find yourself obsessively checking who liked your partner’s recent post (or find the same being done to you), try to take a beat, step away from your digital device and to take a page from The Lion King’s book, remember who you are. Venus will move to Virgo by the end of the month, clearing the envious air and heightening your senses.

LEO

Happy solar return, dear Leo! It’s your season, and you’re even more popular this month, with celebrations on celebrations happening in your honor. As your social calendar is heating up, so is your love life. Whether you’re already attached or are playing the field, you can expect passion, fun and almost electric vibes running through your partnerships. Ride the high with Get a Room by Confessions of a Rebel at your side. The sensual blend of forest-y notes, vibrant fruits and a hint of vanilla will put you and those on your scent trail in a celebratory, downright special mood with only one spritz.

LIBRA

Try to keep calm in the storm. Venus in Leo will bring waves to your relationships this month, so thinking before you speak rather than acting on pure emotion will be key in preventing the situation from escalating. As Venus moves to Virgo, things will slowly, but surely, become more harmonious. The relaxing herbal notes in EB Florals by Eric Buterbaugh’s Velvet Lavender will help you find a moment of zen in each breath, with notes of sandalwood and bourbon vanilla adding a heady twist.

SCORPIO

Have you been so wrapped up in work lately that all other relationships have gone on the wayside? Don’t get us wrong, chasing a goal is always a good thing, but make sure you aren’t neglecting your friends and loved ones — time management is your friend, especially in the final full month of summer. Mist on a classic, clean scent like Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue, then fire up that group text to make some post-work or weekend plans.

SAGITTARIUS

Where did the summer go? It seems like it wasn’t long ago when you were plotting out your plans for the upcoming season, and now, that calendar of Summer Fridays is starting to dwindle. Instead of stressing out and throwing yourself into work, take advantage of the long days and warm nights. A sexy gourmand scent like Thierry Mugler’s Angel is a guaranteed party in a bottle, and even if you’re not completely feeling a night out, just one pump is all you need to catch your second wind.

CAPRICORN

You’re pretty good at living in the moment, Capricorn. While everyone is buried in their screens, you’re the last one to pick up your phone, fully immersing yourself in the space and conversation. Lately though, you’ve been setting your gaze on the future, living in moments that have not yet taken shape, but with hard work eventually will. Complement your dreamy mood with 1899 by Histoires de Parfums, a sensual blend of vetiver and vanilla that will help to jog your imagination.

AQUARIUS

When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? We’re not talking about sending a risky text — we’re thinking more along the lines of surfing lessons, skydiving and other heart-pumping activities that really give you that adrenaline rush. If jumping out of a plane isn’t exactly your speed, make the most of your weekends and look up cool new activities like rock climbing or local concerts you can hit up with your friends, applying a generous amount of Room 1015’s Power Ballad before you do. One whiff of the daring mix of fresh mint, grapefruit and poplar buds just might inspire you to do something crazy.

PISCES

Prepare to enter the happiest period of your summer thus far. While things seemed intense an even chaotic at times earlier in the season, you’ll finally get to relax as a certain stressful situation is resolved. Reach out to your friends to finally reschedule those plans that were canceled during your busy period, and pick up that yoga class you’ve been wanting to take — you deserve it! Not unlike the mimosa, you’ll consume at brunch, the champagne and citrus notes in Etat Libre D’Orange Remarkable People will put you in a lively mood.

ARIES

Trust your intuition. After all, it has never let you down before. Your psychic energy is strong in August, and though you may face an obstacle or two, go with your gut feeling on how to resolve the issues at hand. If something feels wrong or seems too good to be true, it probably is. Your first instinct, as well as a few pumps of Glossier You on your pulse points, will help you make the right decision.

TAURUS

You’ve been working hard all year, Taurus — and it’s been paying off! You’re so close to hitting a new milestone in your career, and you’re getting non-stop praise from your peers. That said, you could use a vacation — or at the very least, a long weekend away to reward yourself for your accomplishments. Take advantage of the next few Summer Fridays on your company calendar, and pack a tropical scent like Leis by Regime Des Fleurs along for the ride. Whether you’re hitting up the pool or jet setting to the tropics, the mix of exotic florals like pua kini kini and butterfly ginger lily serves as piquant travel partners.

GEMINI

Like the ebb and flow of the tide, relationships can fluctuate between being very hard and surprisingly easy. Luckily for you, August will be the latter from the beginning to the end. Whether you’re attached to another, or blissfully single, things in your relationship sector will flow effortlessly — lively conversation and thrilling dates are balanced by tranquil nights in, and you’re finding the beauty in both. The soothing aquatic blend of Derek Lam’s Rain Day will mirror your easygoing vibe and will keep your calm, cool and collected mood going all month long.

NEST’s-Black-Tulip

CANCER

You’ve always been the most nurturing one of your circle, dear Cancer, and this month, you’re fully leading it. The Sun in Leo will have both friends and colleagues alike looking to you for advice, allowing you to help guide their direction, and in the professional realm, act as a role model and delegate work. You’ll find that you’re actually pretty good at it. Bold, lively floral-like NEST’s Black Tulip will complement both your mood and driven spirit. Strong elements like plum and jasmine amplify soft violet notes, making a statement and taking charge, while earthy patchouli helps you stay grounded.

VIRGO

Ever have those moments where you say something out loud, not realizing it happened until you hear your friends react? We feel that. This month, practice thinking your words through before releasing them into the universe. Mars in Leo is firing up your career realm, making you more motivated than ever to go for that promotion, take on that new project and generally be the boss you know you can be. Fully forming your thoughts before speaking them into existence will help bring clarity and set a path for those career goals, and of course, vibrant citrus-like Goutal Paris Eau d’Hadrien is sure to help pinpoint your focus. Good things are on the way, and you’re making it all happen.
