Perfume Zodiac

When considering perfumes it behooves one to develop a global strategy to characterizing them and putting them in to categories from which one may develop a sense to taste and the ability to choose with some discrimination. Unfortunately very few people have the money to survey perfumes to any degree, much less to a degree which allows putting them in groupings for particular uses, mindsets, or occasions.

This book offers a good enough starting point your astrological sign. At first I flinched from this notion because I am not a believer in astrology. I am nothing like a Libra, no matter how my stars are aligned in whatever salient or tangent or whatever.

But this book is funny and charming. It doesn't really drill home astrology, it merely attempts to set perfumes to certain character traits. And those character traits are well enough compartmentalized by the ideas inherent in the `signs' that it's no great concern if you find yourself attracted to the perfumes of the Scorpio when you are in fact a Pisces.

In other books this author has demonstrated understanding and taste where it comes to perfumes. I trust the author again. The perfumes selected for my sign were without a doubt adequate, thoughtful, and harmonized. I suspect the same would be true of the other 11 sets of perfumes but that is of no matter.
