Favourite flowers?
Question:
As I've been familiar with more and more scents I've also expanded my taste.I used to think that roses was pretty much the only flower that i enjoyed in a scent,but now i can actually add Lilac,Iris and Gardenia to the list.there are probably more though....Any thoughts? Answer: I detest carnations in a flower arrangement but I love the scent of them. Answer: Lilies. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ Answer: Starglazer lilies, heady and rich. Roses they should have a smell, many do not! Lilacs Heliotrope Nightscented Stock Carnations The last two have a pepperiness to them which I really like. Oh I love Bluebells but never notice a smell from them. Answer: Tuberose Jasmine Iris Heliotrope Violet Lily-of-the-Valley Lilacs Rose Carnation Not so fond of mimosa. Answer: For someone who for years swore she was 'not a floral' person I have a great weakness for: Roses - deep, rich, velvety (Ava Luxe Rasa / Rasa Xtreme, Crabtree & Evelyn Evelyn Rose, Crown Perfumery Marechale, Yves Rocher Rose Ispahan, Montale Black Aoud) Jasmine - sweet, sultry, indolic (Nemat Sweet Jasmine, TBS Neroli Jasmine, Guerlain Samsara, Serge Lutens A La Nuit, Carolina Herrera by Carolina Herrera, Hermes 24 Faubourg, Guerlain AA Orange Magnifica) Lilac / Buddleia - spring in a scent to me (Valentino Very Valentino, Guerlain Champs-Elysees, Serge Lutens Un Lys, Frederic En Passant, TBS Spirit of Moonflower) Oriental / Stargazer Lily - rather than Madonna lily, quite sultry & indolic (Penhaligons Lily & Spice, D&G Feminine, Serge Lutens Un Lys, Cacharel Anais Anais, Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds) Ylang-Ylang - this does wonderful things on my chemistry, very feminine (Crown Perfumery Matsukita, Yardley Bond Street, Givenchy Ysatis, Acqua di Parma Profumo, Tiffany For Men, Guerlain Ylang et Vanille) Carnation - a cool weather favourite, winter and spring. (Caron Bellodgia, Guerlain Terracotta Voile D'Ete, Guerlain L'Heure Bleue, Caron Coup de Fouet, Caron Poivre) Mimosa - a spring, warm weather scent for me. (Byblos by Byblos, Guerlain Champs-Elysees, TBS Beach Bliss) Narcissus - a true soul scent for me, I find it almost addictive. The more I wear it the more I want to wear it. Sweet, feminine, narcotic. (Nemat Narcissus, Chloe Narcisse, Worth Je Reviens, Schiaparelli Shocking, Fresh Hombre de Flores Narcissus) Iris - quite 'fleshy' like Tuberose, but less cloying. Textured, earthy, clean. ( Dior Homme, Guerlain Vol de Nuit, Hermes Hiris, Cacharel LouLou, Chanel No.19, Cartier So Pretty) Orange Blossom - ubiquitous in many blends but I adore this in summer when it is made a feature of a blend. It is just happy sunshine and summer fun in a floral essence. (Jo Malone Orange Blossom, Guerlain Eau de Cologne du Coq, Serge Lutens Fleurs d'Oranger, Avon Naturals Orange Blossom, 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser, Yardley Orange Blossom, Lagerfeld Sun Moon Stars) Gardenia - I prefer this to Tuberose, and enjoy it most in warm spring weather or on sultry summer evenings. Very feminine without the powerhouse fleshiness of Tuberose. (Carven Ma Griffe (vintage & former formulation), Guerlain Chant d'Aromes, Jo Malone Vintage Gardenia with Cardamom & Myrrh, Givenchy Amarige, TBS Indian Gardenia (former formulation), Dana Classic Gardenia) Frangipani - another wonderfully feminine tropical bloom that does wonderful things on my skin. (Spice Island Parfums Ltd Frangipani, Guerlain Mahora, Chloe Narcisse) Honeysuckle - another clean, spring time, warm weather favourite. (Liz Claiborne Vivid, Bond No.9 Broadway Nite, Rochas Lumiere (current formulation), Carolina Herrera by Carolina Herrera) Violets - these are an autumn favourite for me. Very classic, feminine, romantic. I have to be in the right mood for them though. (Byblos by Byblos, Guerlain Les Meteorites, L'Aromarine Violette, Ava Luxe Midnight Violet, YSL Paris, Balmain Jolie Madame) Freesia - like the Honeysuckle and the Mimosa this is a wamr weather favourite. I think it is very sharp and clean, almost soapy but during the summer heat it wears wonderfully. (Cerruti 1881 pour Elle, Paul Smith Woman, Calvin Klein Eternity, Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds & Sapphires) Night Scented Stock - I love this scent in reality / nature and it always evokes warm summer nights for me. I wish I could find a few more perfumes which feature this note... (Spiritual Sky Night Scented Stock (wonderful layered with Nemat Sweet Jasmine or Boots Naturals Collection Jasmine oil)). Osmanthus - A wonderfully delicate yet pervasive white floral scent in the same mode as Linden and Cherry Blossom. A scent reminiscent of fresh apricots delicate and feminine with surprising strength. I love this scent in spring / warmer weather and it always evokes warm summer days for me. (Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet, Guerlain Purple Fantasy, Guerlain Precious Heart). Guess I do 'do' florals after all! NB: I am aware that some of the scents listed do not contain the note that I have listed it under, but I have named them because that is the dominant 'note / accord / character' that I get when I wear them. Answer: [QUOTE=moondeva;1005366 Night Scented Stock - I love this scent in reality nature and it always evokes warm summer nights for me.

I have never heard of Spiritual Sky. Where do you find it? Answer: Originally Posted by Loukoumi I have never heard of Spiritual Sky. Where do you find it? Try this: http://www.spiritualskyincense.com/essential-oils.htm. For me -I've never met a flower whose scent I didn't love. You could say either that I am all-embracing or indiscriminate!! (Or Gemini - which I am.) But if I had to choose - it would be peony. Answer: Another curious Gemini here enjoying every single flower there is! In perfumery, I mean. Amazingly, roses -- do not care about them in a bouquet -- too hard to keep them long and always feel sad when they die. Do not like to tend growing roses -- too much pain in the neck. Also, did you guys know that if no proper care is taken of the garden roses, they are becoming wild? Just starting appreciating rose-based perfumes, and possibilities seem endless. In real life my favorite flowers would be white carnation, lily, lily of the valley, daffodils, lilacs, huge white chrisanthemums, and now in TX -- zinnias! Answer: oohhh, don't get me started on the flowers and their scents. My favourite floral scents are: iris, rose, violets, lilacs, lilies, jasmine, honeysuckle, gardenia, peonies and some orchids.
