Scent Horoscope
For centuries, astrology has been used by world leaders, philosophers, artists, and entrepreneurs as a source of guidance and direction in various areas such as love, health, finance, and business. This ancient practice, which involves tracking the positions of constellations and planets, has been passed down through generations and has even influenced the world of fashion and perfumery. Christian Dior, for example, relied on his astrologer for all aspects of his work and life, including scheduling fashion shows and perfume launches. Other notable figures in the fashion industry, such as Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel, also incorporated astrology into their work, while Paco Rabanne reportedly consults his planetary charts before making any important decisions.
Believers in astrology argue that the positions of planets and constellations can have an impact on tasks or events, either making them run smoothly or causing difficulties. Some days of the month may be more conducive to creativity, while others may be better for quiet contemplation. It is interesting to note that the 12 zodiac signs, based on birthdate, can accurately portray the personality traits of individuals. For example, Scorpios are known for being stubborn, while Pisces are often creative and dreamy. This means that zodiac signs can also point to preferred fragrance notes and styles. For example, those born under the water sign of Cancer, known for being shy, introspective, and good listeners, may appreciate aquatic notes like calone, which mimics the scent of an ocean breeze, or soft, quiet water lily. On the other hand, those born under the fire sign of Aries, known for being courageous and energetic, may enjoy scents with heat, such as ginger or pink pepper. Astrological characteristics can be a fun way to discover fragrances that suit your personality and traits. Let’s explore the astrological calendar to find your fragrance horoscope.
