I wonder what sign or planet rules the olfactory senses, the sense of smell.

ETA: I just noticed Demeter has a fragrance called Funeral Parlor! This is so Plutonian! Demeter was one of the main character in the story of Pluto and Persephone...and you have a heavy plutonian chart. But that Gemini Venus can lighten things up a bit for you.

So, this is interesting. My favorite fragrances have white flowers in them, and white flowers are famously (or infamously, depending of your nose sensibilities) known for their "indolic" notes.

It's a note that derives from indole molecules and smells between "over-ripe", "animalic" and "awful". It's very similar to the smell of bodily fluids lol. In commercial fragrances, the note is very dilluted and just adds depth to a perfume, but you can smell it in its full glory if you buy fresh lillies of certain types (like a friend once told me, "they make the place smell like a necropsy room").

It is a Greek word. Petra means stone and Ichor, according to Homer, is the immortal nectareous blood of Gods. Plato also talks about Ichor in "Timaeus" and Pythagoras says about this "divine substance" that protects Greeks from any dangerous alteration of their dna. You might read that Ichor is golden, however Greek Gods were blue-blooded.

*Pink Sugar by Aquolina
*Hypnotic Poison by Dior
*Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna
*Flowerbomb by Viktor&Rolf
*Bare Vanilla by Victoria's Secret
*Amber Romance by Victoria's Secret

Sandalwood, Amber, Cashmere & musky scents to me are also awesome combined with sweet notes.

I'm currently obsessed with this Basil & Rose sugar scrub and lotion by a small company in my area. So damn good!!

I very much dislike anything Fruity and excessively sweet.I’m thinking it’s because I don’t have a lot feminine placements…only a Pisces Mars.

We are polar opposites!! I love sweet & fruity fragrances most. Light & fresh ones are nice on other people though, so I'm not hating.

The heavy ones that make you smell like an 85 year-old woman tho?? Hell To The NOOO!

I like when lots of natural ingredients are used, and I also like highly concentrated perfumes, like extraits. I never found any mainstream perfumes I liked, they were all too synthetic smelling to my nose, too light and fleeting, or I found them too stuck in gender stereotypes that made no sense to me. I want my perfumes to be very original, creative, over the top and on the verge of being too much... Eccentric, rich and decadent, or intesely animalic, or smoky, or deep dark and syrupy. I also enjoy perfumes that evoke beautiful times or places in my past.

As for astrology... Venus in Taurus 8th house is the ruler of my Libra Ascendant. I think that's the placement that makes me into such a sensual person, with a preference for darker aesthetics.

Sun in Gemini 9th, Moon in Virgo 12th. Mars, Mercury and Midheaven conjunct in Cancer. Neptune conjunct IC in Capricorn. Mars, Mercury and Uranus are all out of bounds as well as connected to the MC/IC axis, which might serve to explain my penchant for the bold and eccentric, lol! Link to full chart below.

Yayyy! Another Libra ASC w/ an 8H Venus. We da bomb.

was going to type my chart out but this is easier:

I really love essential oils as well. I'm currently obsessed with this chocolate scented one!

Hell yes to Jasmine and all the lovely florals you mentioned. FYI - Your 1st through 5th Houses are exactly the same as mine. Twinsies!! With your extra Venus conjunct ASC... your tastes make sense and I bet you're gorgeous.

During warmer months,I love aquatics and light florals.
Colder months,l go for perfumes with spice notes

Always preferred Curve by Liz Claiborne over Cool Water
Burberry Body EDT
Bombshell Paradise VS
Heavenly VS
Curve Crush
Good Girl by Carolina Herrera
Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson

Sun,Moon,Venus in Gemini,Aries Rising also have Saturn/Uranus aspecting Gemini planets

I have Aries, Gemini and Pisces in my chart too. I also have Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson! I love the golden bottle, and smells nice and sweet.

Mercury Taurus (ruling planet)
Venus Pisces
Aquarius Mars

I have an Egyptian perfume bottle from an old lady who lived on my block. I put carrier oil in it and grapefruit essential oil. I really think citrus essential oils smell the best. But I have to be careful since citrus oils are phototoxic. I made that one a long time ago. I should probably dump it, and put it in my dishwasher.

Secret Tropical Radiance Body Spray
When my friend moved in she got this body spray. When she moved out she didn't want it anymore and gave it to me. I used it a few weeks ago.

don't think i've ever come across a chocolate scented essential oil 🤔

good taste 😁 your sun is where my moon is too + strong venus wonder if that adds to the similarity in taste

as for the other thing i only have just woke up and feel like **** right now selfies that are shareable here tbh lol but you can judge for yourself (they'll autodelete in 24 hours so i guess let me know if you missed them)

i only really take pics of myself if someone asks

Girl we both have killer eyebrows & lips! LOL. Your lips are full & heart-shaped... fits the Venus influence.

This is one of my favorites.If “powdery” is higher up on the list or lower,I avoid it.Those scents normally make me smell like an older lady.

And maybe the coco scented oil I have isn't essential, my bad. But it's a Body Oil that's excellent for moisturizing.

yeah i see what you mean, you have the smaller chin thing too, bit of a different face shape but fairly similar in that regard

you're pretty, i can see a bit of the taurus influence there something about your eyes (though it isn't full on i've noticed a lot of taurus influenced people have a more squarish jaw/chin, a woman i went to middle school with was born a few days after me and she has a taurus rising she's beautiful and there's the venusian qualities to her face but they come through differently than libra can)

it's funny normally more "food" related smells aren't my thing but chocolate, vanilla, and honey are exceptions and seem more neutral to me in a way
