The Scented Life: All about fragrance

Perfume by the Horoscope: Scorpio

by Amy on August 27th, 2007

cartier1.jpgAlways Scorpio gets the reputation for being overly sexual, dramatic, moody. Often drawn to black and red. This one was pretty easy: Cartier’s Baiser du Dragon (Kiss of the Dragon). Definitely not a ’skin’ scent, basically if you loved Opium 20 years ago, this is a perfume you can wear today. It’s a modern, feminine vetiver. Even the bottle, with the perfume the color of snake venom, and a stinger-like spike applicator should please your inner dominatrix.

Notes:

* Top Notes
* Amaretto, Gardenia, Neroli,

Middle Notes
* Iris, Musk, Cedar, Bulgarian Rose,

Base Notes
* Vetiver, Patchouli, Benzoin, Amber,

    Hi!
    I´ve been searching during whole weeks and this is the closest and actually the best reference I could find about zodiac perfumes. Now i know what I can give to my girl, but also I´d be really thankful if you could suggest a nice fragance for a scorpio man. I like the emporio armani classical lotion, but i don´t feel like this one´s the best thing for a moody, dramatic and misteryous scorpio, either would be such a very masculine or powerful fragance cause scorpio personality is a bit more refined. I was thinking about armani night but i´ve read some reviews and they don´t talk very good about it. Please help me with this, i don´t want to make another bad choice. Best regards! :)

    Hi, also what would you think about Opium from Yves Saint Laurent or Tom Ford for men from Tom Ford, would they fit a scorpio man? Thank you! :)

    Hi Alex,

    I think you’re right that you want a powerful, strong and sexy fragrance. Opium is also from YSL like the Baiser du Dragon fragrance profiled above. The Tom Ford colognes come in a sleek, sexy black bottle, so that could be very nice. I also would recommend Egoiste by Chanel (aren’t Scorpios very egotistical) if you’re looking for something refined.

    Let us know what you’ve chosen!

    Hi again! First i want to say, thank you so much for your answer. It´s so good to have the attention of such an expert in this topic. I have a question about the Baiser du dragon fragance. Does it exist also for man? I´ve been searching for it without success. About my past comment, i think i explained wrong ;) I mean, I feel like emporio armani would not fit at all a scorpio man, cause it´s a romantic fragance somehow, a bit sweet. But also i think a very strong masculine fragance would not fit a scorpio man either, cause scorpios are feminine sign. Strong personality somehow, but more on the moody, misteryous and sensual side. So a very strong masculine thing would not fit a refined demeanour. Still i ask if Tom Ford fragance and Opyum by YSL would fit this sign. Also you suggested Egoiste by Chanel. So, in case Tom Ford and Opyum would fit, which would be your choice among these 3, including the Chanel cologne? I will really trust your good judgement, so I really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you so much!

    Hi again Alex,
    I believe that Baiser du Dragon was marketed for ladies. But many men find that ladies fragrances are wearable (and women wear men’s fragrances too).
    Egoiste is a very refined fragrance. The other two are more bold, but also mysterious. I would recommend finding a store where you can test on the skin and see if it agrees with your chemistry. That even more than your horoscope will determine if a scent ‘fits’ you and your personality! Happy sniffing!

    Hi amy!

    First of all, i´m very thankful for your suggestions. I bought the basier du dragon fragance and it was true what you said: some women gragances are wearable and this is the case and i like very much the result. I’m headed now to buy the chanel cologne “Egoiste”. Just i found there are 2 models or versions: normal and platinum. As i´m not an expert in the topic, i want to ask what´s the main difference from your point of view? Again your opinion will be so valuable for me.

    Thanks a lot! ;)

    The platinum is not a fragrance that I recommend, the original or normal is much better. Platinum smells like typical men’s fragrances, Cool Water or Tommy, etc. :/
