Question:
My favourite flowers are often scentless like bluebells, cornflowers, daisies and forget-me-nots, but as a perfume ingredient I like carnation, heliotrope, iris, jasmine, lily, orange blossom, rose and violet.
Mostly I don't like gardenia, hyacinth, lily of the valley, mimosa and tuberose, but I can bear them in some scents if they are well-blended.

Answer:
I like any flower you put in front of me. My favorite is a blossom from my magnolia tree, floating a small crystal bowl, that scents the entire room. Magnolia fragrances tend to go too sweet for me, though. For fragrances, I like deep dry florals. Rose, lily, lilac, gardenia are my favorites. I like the occasional violet and carnation very well, too.
Rose- Rosarium by Shiseido
Fleur de the Rose Bulgare by Creed
Elisabethan Rose by Penhaligon's
Lily- Un Lys by SL
Lily and Spice by Penhaligon's
Lilac- Highland Lilac--to die for

Gardenia- kai
Pur Desir de Gardenia by Yves Rocher--especially in the solid perfume

Violet- Violetta di Parma by Borsari
Verte Violet by L'Artisan
Carnation- Garafano by Lorenzo Villoresi

Answer:
Peonies, lilacs, lilies and carnations are all in my garden...I also love the scent of all the apple blossoms!

Answer:
Fragrance-wise I enjoy lilies, frangipani, orange blossom, magnolia, ylang ylang. I enjoy most florals as long as they are well balanced and not powdery.
A flower I love in a bouquet but detest in a perfume is rose. Something about it just doesn't sit right on my skin.

Answer:
Donna and Moondeva - have you tried the (discontinued) Penhaligon's Night Scented Stocks? It's sometimes available on eBay, and it's a real shame they discontinued it; it was a really beautiful and true representation of the flower. I've one precious bottle, which I use very seldom for fear of running out!
For me, iris and violets win the flower battle. I really love lily of the valley - I had some muguet sprigs in my wedding bouquet (at appalling cost - we got married in September and had forced flowers sent from Holland), I love green, narcissus-type scents (Vol de Nuit's a favourite) and I *love* tuberose. That said, the smell of tuberose and gardenia is so extreme that they're barely *floral* for me; I don't really seem to categorise those notes alongside the quieter flowers.

Answer:
Well, this is an interesting question because my all-time favorite flower to smell, the rose, is the one I cannot wear, even in the beautiful Rosines. I also love lilies and jasmine but can't wear those scents well, either!! The flowers I love that I can wear well are carnation, heliotrope, iris, linden, gardenia (sometimes), lavender, orange flower, wisteria (if it's in a green mixture), and lilac. Mostly I'm a spices/herbs/woods person.

Answer:
Jasmine, Rose, Ylang Ylang and Orange Blossom

Answer:
I am very reluctant to wear soliflores or even straight florals. However, those I love usually have heliotrope, osmanthus, iris and ylang-ylang. And I love jasmine when masterfully blended and animalic, as in Mona di Orio's Carnation.
