Choosing a summer fragrance can be intimidating. One way to simplify is to pick a scent based on your zodiac sign. According to astrologer Stephanie Campos and perfumer Chavalia Mwamba, it’s pretty simple: Practical signs may favor familiar smells, like vanilla or rose, while fiercely independent signs may prefer impactful notes like bergamot or lemon.
