What Makes Flowers Appealing

By Vanessa Webb

Flowers were the first beauty accessories, long before jewellery came in vogue. Colourful and perfumed flowers have been serving the aim of beautifying people for thousands of years. In almost all major civilizations that the world has seen, there is evidence of females and sometimes even men putting flowers in their hair.

There are as many types of floral scents in nature as there are flowers. Humans have categorized flowers according to different emotions or mental dispositions and also to different occasions that the flowers best represent, and to a great extent this has been dependent on their scent and looks. As many perfumes have been created by perfume makers as there are types of flowers, and the distinctiveness and fine differences among flowers' fragrances have given the industry limitless opportunities for many new products. However, synthetically produced perfumes that are developed from non-organic compounds have now flooded the market, and flowers are rarely being utilized in the manufacturing process.

A flower's fragrance has its attraction not just to perfume makers. Flowers have always enjoyed a proud place as popular gift items across different cultures because of their beauty and amazing scents. A room made fragrant by flowers can generate positive vibes and can cheer an individual. To a seasoned 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 traditional events as well to make the whole venue fragrant.

However, researchers have always given lasting beauty of flowers priority over their scent, and this prejudice in selection is now beginning to show results. Other innovations in science, such as genetic alteration of plants have hastened this pursuit. For example, carnations and roses that we find today are immaculate in appearance and excellent in freshness, but reckless experimentation with nature has stripped them of their delicate scent.

Hence, these days you have to carefully check the scent of flowers before purchasing them. Expert advice of an experienced florist will surely enable you to make the correct choice of bouquets or flowers in a large quantity that you are planning to buy for a marriage or some other occasion.

The internet is the best place to look for a good florist in Singapore, or you may ask your acquaintances about who has a good standing in the flower-selling market. A florist, who is part of a branded flower selling chain, will also be trustworthy in most cases. The large organizations are usually quite conscious about their standards and you can be certain of a professional service as well from them. - 33393
