Star Sign perfumes - Libra (male version)

If Capricorn was the first among the twelve male scents that catch my attention, Libra (24/9-23/10) could very well be the one winning in the long run. Not as directly catchy, charming or different, but still I noticed it quite fast.

Libra has notes of tuberose, violet, cardamom, cinnamon, tolu and vetiver among others. This gives a lovely dark, mysterious and all together wonderful violet scent. Sure, it is intended for men and I really like the idea of a violet fragrance for men, but why should we let the men have this wonderful violet all by them selves?

On me Libra become a mysterious, vibrant and dark violet with masculine elements, but without being too masculine. Almost kind of a gothic, melancholic type of scent. It is dry, severe and a little cold, which makes me think about old grey stone churches, little violets in the grey light of dawn, Victorian environments and a wistful piano concert. Yes, Libra seem to be a scent filled with emotions, and I think it´s very fitting to October born libras, since october (in my opinion) is a little melancholu month and libras supposedly are a emotional star sign.

No matter what you belive about astrology, Libra is a violet scent I love to return to, actually it remind me a little of another favorite violet, namely Ava Luxe´s Midnight Violet.

I do recommend Libra to anyone interested in astrology, but also to everyone usually liking violet in fragrances and are looking for a dark, mysterious and unisex violet. Libra could very well be the one you´re looking for!

Libra has good lasting power and medium sillage. Are you curious to find out more about Libra or maybe the other scents that CnR Create offers? Take a look here:

I have chosed to write about the two scent that captured me most, but that doesn´t mean the other one´s aren´t any interesting or good. But, after all this are scwents intended fpr men, and I don´t like to smell too masculine. Some of the scents didn´t suit me at all, Sagittarus and Aquarius for instant, but these could very well be the one´s most suitable for you. On my husband Taurus smells really good, masculine, warm and safe, while it don´t fit me at all, and well, yes my husband is born in taurus.

Star Sign perfumes - Capricorn (male version)

I have write this several times before, when I´m trying about ten different scents, it doesn´t really matters how good the brand is, usually I tend to really like one or two scents out of ten the best. And when I try Star Sign Perfumes (for men) there is one fragrances that manage to capture my interest at once, namely Capricorn (22/12-20/1).

Capricorn is that kind of scent that I would notice among any other ten-twelve scents. Capricorn is unique, but still easy to like and wear for both men (as intended) and women...

Among the other male scents from Star Sign perfumes, most of them are more obvious masculine, so of course this makes capricorn stand out even more. Capricorn has notes of citrus in the opening, followed by rosewood, caramel and patchouli and finnishing of with amber, musk, vanilla and incense. This notes makes a lively, warm and soft oriental scent with gourmand elements.

Capricorn manage to be creamy, sweet, woody and with a lingering smoky note in the background. A man that got this scent as agift should be more the contempt, maybe with exception of men with really conservative taste that prefer more traditionally masculine fragrances.

On me, Capricorn become a quite sweet scent, really gourmand, with some elements of incense and the amber is really nice with my skin chemistry making the scent glowing and filled with life. As this is intended for men I try it on my husband as well, and on him the scent is quite different, it isn´t at all as sweet, and the smoky note is hardly noticeable on him, instead the wood note is more prominent making it dryer and maybe more aromatic, among the animalic notes the musk dominates while the amber is falling behind. Very different then on me, but still Capricorn is a scent that both me and my husband can wear without any problem.

Capricorn is a warm and cozy scent, and I think it´s really fitting since it´s intended for people born in the darkest time of winter (at elast in teh Northern hemisphere). Capricorn is also both sensual and exciting, making it very nice for passion seakers.

I would love to try it on my youngest son, since he is born in capricorn, but he is not at all interested in perfumes... (maybe he´s not even a typical capricorn?)

Lasting power is good, at least 6-8 hours, and sillage is also good. I could recommend Capricorn to all kinds of people, not onlu male capricorns. If you´re looking for a slightly smoky oriental with gouramnd elements, this is a must try! It is really, really good and you get a lot for your money.

Amont he twelve scents intended for men Capricorn is my favorite, which isn´t that strange since it´s quite unisex, but I´ve also found some other really nice one´s that I can imagine myself wearing. I write more about them any day soon...

It´s maybe not that hard figuring out that the drawing I´ll have is about CnR Create, so I think it´s about time for you to learn alittle more about the brand:

CnR Create - Star Sign Perfumes

As a perfume writer I have some contact with perfumers, perfume producers and press-people at different perfume houses. In common for those I´ve got good contact with is their entusiasm, kindness and joy. There isn´t any doubt about that this is people really burning for their company, fragrances and other people sharing their interests.

Often it´s easiest to have contact with people in small and/or new perfume companies. Of course for them it is really valuable to get mentioned on a blog, while the big one´s in the branch get their new releases mentioned on each and every perfume blog.

Robert Boehm and his co-worker Canisa is both that kind of friendly people burning for their company and for both perfumes and astrology. I have written about their brand before, but now they got something new to present, namely astrological perfumes for men.

I think it´s amazing to have two big interests and manage to combine them. The connection between astrology and perfumes are´nt that rare, but often we find it made by indie-perfumers in 5 ml bottles of perfume oil of different quality and sold on Etsy (and likes). Robert and his co-workers has chose a different path, they have fokused on high quality both when it comes to the actual scents and how the bottles and boxes are presented.

As an astrologist, Robert has ideas about how a fragrance for a certain star sign should be built up, but the actual perfume is created in Grasse by a trained perfumer. So the scents are made with fine ingrediences and a lot of skills, but however, not maybe that edgy or groundbreaking.

After all, astrology scents is a small niche. I think mostly people allready interested in astrology become interested in these kind of fragrances, but also, there is quite a lot of people with at least a common interest in astrology. Scents for different star sign is also a perfect gift or Christmas present, easy to chose, but still personal. For perfume lovers it might not be so obvious to turn to this kind of scents. We like to test "all" the scents and maybe we become a little confused when we realise that we like the scent supposed to match male capricorns when we are female virgos...

Still, when I evaluated the different scents for females, I was surprised by their quality and I really, really like the scent made for virgo (which is my star sign).

Now I´m testing the different scents for men and they´re all very well made and maybe even a little more interesting and edgy then the one´s for women. I´ve allready got two personal faves, one that is so nice on my husband, and one that I like very much for myself.

I will present the different scents soon and by the way, what is your star sign?
