Decoding Literary Scents: Which One Matches Your Star Sign?

Every star sign has a one-of-a-kind character, much like the classic heroes of Vietnamese literature. If your soul were kept in a scent, would it be the grace of Kiều, the swagger of Xuân Tóc Đỏ, or the restless dreaming of Chí Phèo? Scroll through the cards above, then find your sign below.

Which Thơmore scent matches your star sign?

Libra and Pisces: Kiều. Ruled by beauty and feeling, you look graceful and gentle, but inside you are deeply sensitive and sharp. An artistic soul with refined taste, you always carry the pull of real talent. Your vibe: Kiều, after Nguyễn Du’s “The Tale of Kiều”.

Taurus and Virgo: Thu Điếu. Calm and unhurried, never loud or rushed. Your earth-sign nature gives you an eye for empathy and detail. You find peace from within and keep your easy, unbothered poise. Your vibe: the autumn hermit of Nguyễn Khuyến’s “Thu Điếu” (“Autumn Fishing”).

Aquarius: Chí Phèo. One of a kind, impossible to mistake for anyone else. You may look careless and odd from the outside, but deep down beats a fierce, honest heart that dares to love, dares to rage, and longs to live true to itself. Your vibe: the rebel dreamer of Nam Cao’s “Chí Phèo”.

Leo and Scorpio: Bánh Trôi Nước. Radiant pride (Leo) meets mysterious allure (Scorpio). However life rises and falls, you stay in control, know how to shine, and keep your “loyal heart” true to yourself. Your vibe: the poet Hồ Xuân Hương, author of “Bánh trôi nước” (“Floating Sweet Dumplings”).

Aries and Capricorn: Tắt Đèn. You have a pioneer’s fire (Aries) and rock-solid determination (Capricorn). Prickly, strong and never resigned, you are a true heroine, ready to bristle in defence of whatever you hold dear. Your vibe: Chị Dậu, the heroine of Ngô Tất Tố’s “Tắt Đèn” (“Lights Out”).

Cancer: Đây Thôn Vĩ Dạ. Dreamy, private and full of compassion. Your introverted, deep soul gives off a quiet, clear beauty with a hint of mystery and nostalgia that makes people long to understand you. Your vibe: the lover from Huế in Hàn Mặc Tử’s “Đây Thôn Vĩ Dạ” (“This Is Vĩ Dạ Village”).

Gemini and Sagittarius: Số Đỏ. Witty, adaptable, outgoing and always on trend. You run on free-spirited energy, a person of the modern age who can lead any party and cannot stand boredom. Your vibe: the modern girl of Vũ Trọng Phụng’s “Số Đỏ” (“Dumb Luck”).

All seven scents belong to our collection “Nốt Hương Văn Chương Việt Nam” (The Fragrant Soul of Vietnamese Literature). Did your sign get it right? Tell us which one feels most like you.
