It’s sometimes hard for people to read you Scorpio, as you can go from intense one minute and then gentle the next. If you’re going with a new plan at work, be sure to keep your associates informed as they don’t like being surprised.

The end of the month is a good time to talk finances with your significant other. It’s the perfect time to switch up your fragrance, and adding Chai eau de Parfum by Robert Piguet is a beautiful choice. As fall is often the start of tea sipping season, Chai is inspired by the delicate scent of white tea leaves, and is combined with bergamot leaves and orange blossoms for their vivid opening notes. Add some honey – but not too much – and then a little citrus, some light florals, and a slight waft of smoke, and you’ve got a lovely new fall fragrance that will uplift your spirits.
