To choose your perfume, you need to focus on the middle of the perfume composition - what notes it consists of.
If you imagine the fragrance as a symphony, then it has three parts. Prelude or introduction. Then, the main part, reflecting the general motive, style, mood. And finally, the final part that leaves an aftertaste, a sillage. The middle notes of a perfume composition are the heart of the perfume, as they last the longest.
The perfume horoscope contains the types of notes, depending on the zodiac signs related to the element of Air.
