And just like that, half of 2024 has flown by and we find ourselves at the threshold of June – the onset of the monsoon season and the commencement of pride month. Aside from these important events, we’re also entering the second half of the rule of Geminis. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, this vivacious air sign is known to possess double the energy and abilities of a person. Their minds are always on the move, ever curious, and they can articulately talk up a storm. If you’re a Gemini baby yourself or have Gemini friends or family, here’s the perfect fragrance gift guide based on this air sign’s characteristics.
Flexible (Clean, Fresh)
Whether it’s trying a new movie or leisure activities, Geminis are flexible and want to try everything, giving them an upper hand in being versatile. A clean and fresh fragrance fits into this vibe and is suitable for every occasion. From late-night clubbing to business meetings, a fresh, aquatic, and clean scent can uplift your mood and confidence.
Nykaa Recommends:
Woman
What you’ll love: A reviewer said this perfume smells like a garden in the early morning, while another described it as a fresh, floral scent. This long-lasting perfume from Nykaa’s private label is made with aromatic citrusy notes and is the perfect lightweight fragrance for summer.
Men
What you’ll love: If you want to smell like an Italian Island, Giorgio Armani’s Acqua Di Gio perfume will come through with flying colours. Its nature-inspired aquatic scent has top notes of bergamot, heart notes of marine accords, jasmine, and rosemary, and base notes of cedar, persimmon, and Indonesian patchouli.
Outgoing (Oud, Oriental )
Socialising with the right crowds is like a cakewalk for Geminis. Their outgoing personality is best fed when they are immersed in new experiences and travel, soaking in the culture around them. Woody oud and oriental spicy, exotic, and aromatic notes aptly mirror this characteristic. It may be heady and robust at first but eases into the senses gradually.
Nykaa Recommends:
Woman
What you’ll love: Aside from the pretty crystal bottle in blue, the perfume wraps you in an amalgam of fruity, floral, and musky notes like freesia, pear, tonka bean, and softwood accord. A few sprays are enough to teleport you into a moment of calming retreat.
Men
What you’ll love: While Gemini personalities can be a magnet, the Lahn Al Oud Perfume from Dorral Collection helps expedite attraction. Though it’s an eau de toilette, this sensual woody scent has a great projection that leaves a faint trail as it slowly evaporates through the day. This suave formulation has citrusy, green top notes, floral heart notes, and a beautiful base composition of musk, labdanum, oud, and sandalwood.
Charming (Floral)
Geminis may be slightly allergic to commitment, but when their heart is set on a special connection, they can bet on their natural charm to win someone over. All they need is the perfect pheromonic, floral scent to ‘wingman’ their flirtatious tendencies.
Nykaa Recommends:
Woman
What you’ll love: Passion from VS’ Bombshell series is out and out a deep, sensual floral fragrance that has generous fruity undertones. A bouquet of flowers may just pale in comparison to the heart note of a queen peony that lends an opulent petal-like note. It’s flanked by top notes of sparkling cassis that enrapture your senses with a vibrant berry scent and base notes of fuchsia rose that fittingly settles into your skin with a sultry floral fragrance.
Men
What you’ll love: Though scouring through Nykaa’s fragrance options was tantalising, we eventually couldn’t help but settle on Tom Ford’s cult classic Black Orchid. It is defined as a dark, sexy perfume which is what romantic needs. Made with key notes of black orchids, rum, ylang-ylang, and black plum, Black Orchid wraps you in a warm floral fragrance that has a slight tartness.
Impulsive (Zesty, Citrusy)
Wherever there’s an adventure, you’re bound to spot Geminis. They love to be stimulated and are up for piquing their curiosity when the occasion arises. To the outside, it’s impulsive, borderline insane but to them, it’s a whole new world of galvanising experiences.
Nykaa Recommends:
Women
What you’ll love: Love the great outdoors? The summer and spring-approved Citrus Verbena Eau De Toilette matches the same energy. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a long hike among lush hills or an impromptu dip in a pool, this perfume is made with premium essential oils like lemon peel, orange peel, and grapefruit peel all blended with herbal, earthy verbena.
Men
What you’ll love: If you can’t resist an invitation to show off, but gracefully, Beardo’s Godfather perfume will gladly bolster your confidence. It opens to sparkling citrusy top notes of lemon and mint which settles into aromatic notes of geranium and base notes of vetiver and musk. And, of course, in true Gemini fashion, this versatile perfume can be worn during the day and night.
