ASTROLOGY VS PERFUMES ?

Around the end of the 5th century BC, Babylonian astronomers divided the sky into 12 areas, each of which designating as a specific figure, name and meaning. The main purpose of horoscope creation was to inform people about their lives based on the positions of the planets and the zodiacal signs at the moment of their birth. And even though #astrology has been rejected by the scientific community and is still considered to be a superstition, still millions of people in the world follow their daily horoscope, choose clothing or accessories based on their zodiac signs, and much more! Some people check even their spouse's zodiac sign to understand if they are compatible or not, and in some cases the sign plays such a huge role that the new starting relationship ends as soon as the superstitious person gets to know about zodiac combability. Funny thing, isn't it?

Still, in spite of all the negative around astrology and horoscope signs, we are all sometimes interested in that field. Coincidence or not, some of the tips by astrologists turn out to be true in some cases, and besides, it is a great way of entertainment sometimes as well.

Keeping in mind the very famous expression - "Stars impel, they don't compel", we can check the tips from astrologists from time to time just for leisure and for fun. I myself do not have any experience or education in the field of astrology, but one thing I learnt during the long journey of my career is that sometimes horoscope really works. There was a time I could identify the zodiac sign of each person, based on their character, taste, behavior, etc., but then I decided to use my light-hearted "talent" in my work. Around a year ago I started investigations about zodiac signs and their tastes, interfered with hundreds of customers weekly, and finally created my own perfume suggestion for each zodiac sign. I checked my research result with many strangers, and guess what? 100 people out of 100 agreed with my article which was a draft before and will be a published article on Linkedin today.

One more thing before we go to the core content: astrology and horoscope can NEVER be 100% true as there is no science behind. So, do not take my article very serious, BUT check the fragrances I recommend: you will share your feedback with me after trying the fragrances I have chosen for you.
