What Makes A Flower Seems So Beautiful: Importance Of Scent

By Andy Rufus

Long before the invention of jewellery, women put on flowers to beautify themselves. Through their vivid colours and fragrance, they have enabled people to improve their beauty since ancient times. In most historical civilizations, wearing flowers in the hair or on other body parts was regarded as an important aspect of beautification, and even males were known to practice this.

No two flowers have the same scent. Humans have categorized flowers according to different emotions or states of mind and also to different events that the flowers best go with, and to a large extent this has been dependent on their scent and looks. Perfume makers have taken out different floral scents and have sealed them in vials down the ages, and the astounding diversity of these scents found in nature has aided them to create an unlimited variety of perfumes. However, now the demand for flowers in the perfume industry is somewhat diminishing as artificial compounds have started replacing them.

The significance of flowers' fragrance is not restricted to making perfumes. Flowers have served as fabulous gifts for people by virtue of their fragrance and beauty. The scent plays a crucial role in improving the mood of a person and transforming the whole ambience of a room. Any expert florist will tell you that good bouquets are those that have the right balance of colour and scent. Flowers are extensively used in ritual events as well to make the entire venue fragrant.

Sadly, researchers have always channelled all their efforts towards the development of elegant flowers that fade gradually, with scant consideration for scent. Other advancements in technology, such as genetic alteration of plants have accentuated this effect. For example, carnations and roses nowadays are picture-perfect, and stay like new for many days, but unfortunately they have lost the fragile scent that was once an important part of their appeal.

Thus, how good a flower smells, or if it smells at all, should be the first concern for buyers when they are buying flowers. Expert advice of a seasoned florist will surely enable you to make the correct choice of bouquets or flowers in bulk that you are about to buy for a wedding or some other occasion.

Flowers can raise hearts. Sending flowers to someone who is sick, hurting or mourning, friends, and family can cheer them up. When asking for an apology, a handful of flower can affirm it.

A good florist in Singapore with loads of experience in the industry can be tracked either through the internet or by enquiring people about it. A florist with a popular brand name associated with his establishment can also be a good choice. The best quality and the most professional service are what a large organization guarantees, and this holds true in the flower business as well.
