Bonus Round: Fragrance by Horoscope?
I like to read my horoscope. I think of myself as a super-Virgo. I view my horoscope with the same level of seriousness as I do magic rocks & vision boards—which is to say, I poke fun at them, but still cover all my bases.
I found this website the other day that suggested you should choose your scents based on your horoscope. Here’s a brief run-down.
Aries: You need a scent that brings you courage, with notes of mandarin, rose, gingerbread & sandalwood.
Taurus: You like romantic scents, with notes of tea, bergamot, jasmine, freesia & rose.
Gemini: You like to try all different kinds of perfumes, & aren’t limited to just one family.
Cancer: You gravitate towards comforting scents, which are elegant & feminine.
Leo: You like to stand out & make sure people tell you that you smell good. Look for fragrances with yummy baking & fruit notes.
Virgo: You love classics which are also well known, with citrus & floral notes.
Libra: You are attracted to pretty, spicy perfumes.
Scorpio: Your fearlessness makes you crave spicy, dangerous scents, like classic oriental perfumes.
Sagittarius: You love the outdoors, so woodsy scents are perfect for you, with floral & musk notes.
Capricorn: You don’t wander away from your favourites that you know work.
Aquarius: You’re not afraid to try men’s cologne, & it smells super-sexy on you!
Pisces: You’re a water sign, so you like scents that remind you of the ocean.
If this is helpful to you, here’s what I wrote on how to wear perfume a few months back.
What do you think? Does this line up with what you gravitate towards? I know mine sure doesn’t! I’m actually closer to the Leo list, ’cause I love to smell like food. I’d love to hear about what you think in the comments!
