Scent In Your Stars
In the second part of this four series article, we take a look at the probable fragrance blends for star signs of the warmer seasons…
This is the second of the four-series feature and this time around we look at those star signs that fall between April and July. So that’s Taurus, Gemini and Cancer.
Belonging to the earth element, Taureans, like the bull that represents them, are known to be intelligent, dependable, hardworking, dedicated, and stubborn. Air signs are smart, sharp and speedy; they are known to ‘think’ more than they feel, or do. Geminis are the liveliest of the Air sign gang - versatile, youthful, curious and fun
While Cancer belongs to the water element and they're primarily known for being emotional, nurturing, and highly intuitive, as well as sensitive and at times insecure.
What do you think men and women from these star signs would like for a perfume? Let’s find out!
