Scorpio: Black Orchid by Tom Ford

Dates: Oct. 23–Nov. 21

Characteristics: Independent, passionate, loyal

Ruled by the ocean as a water sign, Scorpio is headstrong, passionate, independent and lives by the old adage of “my way or the highway.” Much like their scorpion namesake, they have a tendency to have a shell or wall up to protect any vulnerabilities, and it can take a bit of effort to get past this. Once you’ve cracked their shell, however, this sign makes a loyal and diehard friend.

To match their personality, Scorpio needs a bold, one-of-a-kind perfume that reveals a sweeter side once it dries down. This makes Black Orchid the perfect complement to any Scorpio, starting off with a bold start of blackcurrant, French jasmine and citrus; giving way to a softer side of gardenia, lotus and of course, black orchid.
