At first glance, the idea that you can choose a perfume based on your zodiac sign seems laughable, right? I get it, I thought so, too. But then I thought about it a little more and … well, it kind of makes sense. Each sign has its own traits, quirks, and attributes, right? Plus, there are water signs, air signs, fire signs, and earth signs. Even if you don't follow your horoscope or care about your sign, you probably exhibit at least a couple of the traits associated with your star sign, so it's entirely possible it can predict the perfume you'll like. At the very least, you might get an idea about a new type of fragrance or scent profile. Let me know if we got it right, okay?
