While love potions are the stuff of fairy tales, wearing the right perfume could boost your chances of capturing the attention of your crush in the real world.
UK researchers from bath and shower experts Showerstoyou.co.uk have researched which scents are sure to drive people wild depending on their star sign.
Experts surveyed 1 868 men and women and asked them what aroma they preferred on the opposite sex. They then categorised the answers according to the participants’ zodiac signs.
The findings suggested Leo men adore fruity, sweet notes, such as Lancôme’s La Vie est Belle en Rose, while Scorpio women are attracted to vanilla scents and aromatic tones, like those of Giorgio Armani’s Armani Code Absolu.
Daily Mail broke down which scents are most popular according to star signs – and what to wear to attract the partner of your dreams.
