What Makes A Flower Seems So Beautiful: Importance Of Scent

By Larry Rufus

Long before the use of jewellery, women wore flowers to adorn themselves. Through their striking colours and scent, they have enabled people to improve their attractiveness since time immemorial. Most of the civilizations have witnessed both females and males using flowers in their hair or as garlands to wear around their neck.

There are as many types of floral scents in nature as there are flowers. Humans have identified flowers according to different emotions or mental dispositions and also to different events that the flowers best go with, and to a large extent this has been determined by their fragrance and looks. As many perfumes have been created by perfume manufacturers as there are types of flowers, and the distinctiveness and subtle differences among flowers' scents have offered the industry endless possibilities for many new products. However, now the demand for flowers in the perfume industry is somewhat diminishing as artificial compounds have started replacing them.

A flower's scent has its appeal not just to perfume makers. In fact the whole charm of giving flowers to people is based on their fragrance along with their appearance. A room made fragrant by flowers can generate positive vibes and can cheer an individual. Bouquets that arouse feelings of joy and delight in recipients' hearts are those that perfectly balance looks and scent. Similarly for any ceremonial occasion, people use flowers liberally so that the surroundings emanate a naturally pleasant fragrance.

However, researchers have always given lasting beauty of flowers precedence over their fragrance, and this prejudice in selection is now beginning to display results. Recent strides in bio engineering have sped up this quest for long lasting floral attractiveness at the expense of fragrance. For example, carnations and roses that we find today are flawless in appearance and brilliant in freshness, but excessive tampering with nature has stripped them of their delicate scent.

Hence, these days you have to cautiously check the scent of flowers before purchasing them. Expert advice of a seasoned florist will definitely enable you to make the correct choice of bouquets or flowers in bulk that you are planning to purchase for a wedding or some other occasion.

Flowers can uplift hearts. Giving flowers to someone who is sick, suffering or grieving, friends, and family can lighten them up. When asking for an apology, a handful of flower can support it.

The internet is the best place to look for a reputed florist in Singapore, or you may ask people about who has a good standing in the flower-selling business. A florist with a popular brand name associated with the shop can also be a good bet. Firms doing roaring business will never sacrifice quality or service, and so it is a wise decision to approach them, especially if you are going for a bulk purchase. - 32376
