What Makes Flowers Appealing

By Vanessa Webb

Long before the use of metal ornaments, women wore flowers to adorn themselves. Since ancient times people have used flowers with vibrant colours and fragrances to improve their appeal. In almost all major civilizations that the world has seen, there is evidence of women and sometimes even males putting flowers in their hair.

There are as many kinds of floral scents in nature as there are flowers. Because of these differences in scents, and of course the significant differences in their looks, all important flowers have been assigned to particular moods or occasions. The uniqueness of their fragrances has encouraged perfume manufacturers down the ages to come up with an enormous variety of products, each unique in its own way. However, synthetically manufactured perfumes that are created from non-organic compounds have now swept the market, and flowers are rarely being used in the manufacturing process.

The scent of flowers is significant not just because they can be sealed in perfume vials. Flowers have served as fabulous presents for people by virtue of their fragrance and elegant appearance. A room made fragrant by flowers can generate positive vibes and can enliven a person. Any competent florist will tell you that good bouquets are those that have a perfect blend of colour and scent. Moreover, hardly any traditional ceremony is held without abundant use of flowers, whose scent fills the air and lingers in the entire venue.

However, in the search for more elegant and long-lasting flowers, horticulturists have over time ignored the significance of scent in them. Other advancements in technology, such as genetic modification of plants have hastened this pursuit. For example, carnations and roses nowadays are a feast for the eyes, and stay fresh for many days, but sadly they have lost the fragile fragrance that was once a key part of their appeal.

Hence, these days you have to carefully check the fragrance of flowers before buying them. Whether you are getting bouquets made or buying flowers in large volumes for a marriage or any other ceremony, it is important that you take the counsel of a reputed and well established florist in the market.

The internet is the best place to search for a good florist in Singapore, or you may ask your acquaintances about who has a good record in the flower-selling business. A florist, who is part of a branded flower selling chain, will also be trustworthy in most cases. The large companies are generally quite conscious about their standards and you can be assured of a good service as well from them.
