The Best Aromas for Your Zodiac Sign
Discover the best scents to surround yourself with on this National Fragrance Day.
Spring is almost here, and so is National Fragrance Day, which is a celebration of all the best scents and aromas that help us lift our moods and transport us to different places and moments from our life and past memories.
Whatever fragrance you prefer, it could possibly be linked to your zodiac sign, as each one of the 12 astrological signs can have a penchant for a certain scent over another. For example, Earth signs like Taurus and Virgo adore strong and woody aromas, while Air signs Libra and Aquarius prefer light and floral notes.
To help you find the perfect scent, take a look at what fragrance notes connect with your zodiac sign.
Energetic Aries will love notes of limes, peppery basil, and aromatic white thyme that will bring a fresh and tropical breeze to their home.
