Flower's Fragrance - How It Drives The Moods of People

By Kyle Webb

Flowers were the first ornaments, long before jewellery came along. Through their vivid colours and fragrance, they have enabled people to improve their beauty since ancient times. In almost all major civilizations that the world has seen, there is evidence of females and sometimes even men putting flowers in their hair.

No two flowers have the same fragrance. Because of these differences in scents, and of course the drastic differences in their looks, all major flowers have been associated with particular moods or occasions. As many perfumes have been developed by perfume makers as there are varieties of flowers, and the distinctiveness and subtle differences among flowers' fragrances have given the industry limitless opportunities for many new products. However, now the demand for flowers in perfume manufacturing is somewhat diminishing as artificial compounds have started substituting them.

The importance of flowers' scent is not limited to making perfumes. Flowers have always held a proud place as favoured gift items in different cultures because of their beauty and amazing scents. The fragrance plays a crucial role in cheering a person up and transforming the whole ambience of a room. To an experienced florist, the true quality of good bouquets is that they should appeal to both the eyes and the sense of smell of a person. Flowers are widely used in ritual events as well to make the entire venue fragrant.

However, in the search for more beautiful and long-lasting flowers, horticulturists have over time neglected the significance of fragrance in them. With the arrival of genetic engineering in biological research, this pursuit has been given further impetus. For example, carnations and roses that are available today are flawless in looks and brilliant in freshness, but excessive tampering with nature has robbed them of their delicate fragrance.

Thus, how good a flower smells, or if it oozes any fragrance at all, must be the foremost consideration for buyers when they are purchasing flowers. Expert advice of a seasoned florist will surely help you in making the correct choice of bouquets or flowers in bulk that you are about to buy for a wedding or some other occasion.

To find a good florist in Singapore you can either do some quick research on the internet or ask people about who has been in the business for quite some time now. Another way of picking a florist is that you go with a flower outlet representing a well known brand. The large organizations are generally quite conscious about their standards and you can be assured of a good service as well from them.
