Do you have a favorite flower scent?

Hello, this is Tsuzaki from marry.

Good scents, such as perfumes and room fragrances, are indeed soothing, aren't they?

I've always loved fragrances so much that I once dreamt of becoming a perfumer.

The scents we love and enjoy have a relaxing effect and can bring happiness, something I can strongly feel myself. It really amazes me how a smell can make me go, "Wow, it smells so good right now! Ah, I'm so happy!"

I also love the scent of flowers. (That's why I definitely prefer fresh flowers over artificial ones!)

Flowers not only look cute, but some of them have wonderful scents, right?

(Because flowers are plants, some have incredibly good scents that are used in aromas and perfumes, while others, I personally find to have an unpleasant smell... For example, gypsophila is famous for being smelly, and I also think stock and ornithogalum have a bad odor...)

Also, there are many flowers that have very weak scents (ones that you can't smell at all).

In this article, I will list and introduce "flowers that have a good scent."

Flower with a Good Scent #1: Lily

There are many types of lilies, but almost all of them have a nice fragrance.

The white Casablanca, various colored oriental lilies, and the slender trumpet lily all have good scents.

Especially, oriental lilies have many varieties with different scents.

Some have a slightly spicy fragrance and even smell like tea, which I love ♡ (There's a pink one called Companion!)

Flower with a Good Scent #2: Sweet Pea

Sweet peas have a gentle and fluffy fragrance ♡

Carrying a big bunch of sweet peas or using them solely for table arrangements would surely be cute and fragrant ♡

Flower with a Good Scent #3: Some Roses

It's well-known that roses are often used as ingredients in perfumes, which is why they smell good, but in reality, there are also roses that don't smell much.

A famous fragrant rose is Eve Piaget. (It's also called Eve-Piachié.)

Another rose that I think smells great is Gabrielle, a pale pink rose that is almost white.

Eve-Piachié is a round, deep pink cup-shaped rose, while Gabrielle is a smaller, double-flowered rose. The name Gabrielle, after an angel, gives it a majestic feeling that makes this flower exciting.

There is also a rose named Juno, after the goddess, which has a wonderful scent and smells like perfume.

This rose has delicate petals that overlap like layers of flower paper.

Additionally, when you visit a flower shop, you might find roses with labels like "○○ Farm's fragrant rose series!" so be sure to look for the roses with your favorite scents.

When researching varieties, you may find notes that say "strong fragrance," meaning they have a potent scent.

Flower with a Good Scent #4: Shirley Baby

This is a type of oncidium from the orchid family. The bouquet of flowers, a mix of yellow and deep red (or brown?), is what this is about.

While yellow is a standard color for oncidium, I don’t think the typical ones have much fragrance, but this Shirley Baby smells wonderful. I want to use it as a room fragrance!

The color gives a calm vibe, and recently, it's also popular as a hair accessory. Be sure to enjoy its scent at weddings, too.

Flower with a Good Scent #5: Mountain Mint

Although it's more of a leafy herb, the leaves of mountain mint have a pleasant minty fragrance.

This is the leaf found in the bouquet. *

Translated into English, it means "mountain mint"... but actually, it's not a mint, it's part of the giant basil family.

It has a refreshing and invigorating scent ♡

Flower with a Good Scent #6: Freesia

Freesias have a sweet scent that is soothing. They are often used in perfumes. You can also find the scent of freesia in Diptyque candles ♡

I want to choose flowers with a good scent *

I have picked out some flowers that I consider to smell good.

Someday, I would love to gather only flowers that have nice scents and create a bouquet that smells wonderful.... I think combining fragrant flowers will surely create an even more beautiful harmony.

Don't you think it would be great to specify flowers for your wedding memories based on their scents?
