Discussing the scents we like and dislike can be polarizing, which is exactly why finding the exact right one to fit our personality is vital to awakening the innermost part of our spirit.
Mystically speaking, candles have been used in the act of manifestation for centuries. With spirituality and manifestation being a bigger topic than ever nowadays, we're all being urged to close our eyes, believe in what we want most in the world, and use those that belief to infuse your hopes and dreams into the candle that will then push your positive energy out into the universe.
Leveraging your place in the universe as told by the zodiac calendar, this is the scent that will assist you most in your manifestation journey:

Your passionate personality has extreme depth to it, as do the rose quartz crystals this candle comes with. The aptly-named scent actually smells like love, which I didn't know had a smell till I burned this one myself.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 19) — Sephora Collection's Refresh Candle
You're as welcome in any home as fresh flowers are, Aquarius, which is why the loving grapefruit and jasmine notes in this appeal to the loving side of you everyone knows.
