Intoxicating and warm honey, ylang ylang and amber give the feeling of bathing in liquid gold, while blood orange and frankincense mimic the sensation of drying in the rays of the sun. A little dramatic, I know... but that's kind of the point. This perfume was, after all, designed to embody the captivating energy of Leo. The desire to share one's talents and specialness are hallmarks of Leo energy...and this scent is certainly something special.
Leo is ruled by the bright awe-inspiring sun that is the star of the celestial show, but its energy is about so much more than recognizing its own celebrity. The real beauty is in seeing how remarkable others are and having the audacity to point it out to them. It's about showing others how to be creators and manifesters.
It is so important for Leos to shine, but imperative to shine purposefully. Marianne Williamson, who has Mercury in Leo, which speaks to her ability to creatively (Leo) communicate (Mercury), beautifully stated, "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." This is the lesson for Leos. Your talents are not for you. Your performance, gifts, and warmth are but seeds that are planted into the minds and hearts of all those who bear witness to them. Allow your brilliance to awaken and bloom brilliance in others.
This one dazzles.
