Flowers were the first beauty accessories, long before jewellery came in vogue. Colourful and scented flowers have been serving the objective of beautifying people for ages. In almost all major civilizations that the world has witnessed, there is evidence of females and sometimes even men wearing flowers in their hair.

There are as many types of floral scents in nature as there are flowers. Humans have identified flowers according to different emotions or states of mind and also to different occasions that the flowers best go with, and to a large extent this has been determined by their scent and looks. As many perfumes have been created by perfume makers as there are varieties of flowers, and the distinctiveness and subtle differences among flowers' scents have offered the industry endless opportunities for many new products. However, synthetically manufactured perfumes that are developed from non-organic compounds have now flooded the market, and flowers are hardly being utilized in the manufacturing process.

The scent of flowers is important not just because they can be sealed in perfume vials. In fact the whole beauty of giving flowers to people rests on their fragrance along with their appearance. The fragrance plays a crucial role in improving the mood of a person and transforming the whole ambience of a room. To a seasoned florist, the definition of good bouquets is those that appeal to both the eyes and the sense of smell of a person. Similarly for any ceremonial occasion, people use flowers liberally so that the surroundings emanate a naturally delightful scent.

However, in the search for more beautiful and long-lasting flowers, horticulturists down the decades have neglected the significance of fragrance in them. Other innovations in technology, such as genetic alteration of plants have accentuated this effect. For example, several varieties of carnations and roses now exhibit perfect looks and long lasting freshness, but their memorable fragrances have faded greatly.

Thus, how good a flower smells, or if it smells at all, should be the foremost consideration for buyers when they are buying flowers. Any kind of flowers or bouquets purchase for any occasion must be made in close consultation with a trustworthy and seasoned florist who has the right knowledge of flowers on his fingertips.

Flowers can raise spirits. When someone is sick, pain or mourning, friends, and family give a bouquet of fresh flowers to lighten them up. When asking for an apology, a handful of flower can support it.

The internet is the best place to search for a good florist in Singapore, or you may ask people about who has a good reputation in the flower-selling business. A florist, who is part of a branded flower selling chain, will also be reliable in most cases. The large companies are usually quite conscious about their quality and you can be certain of a good service as well from them.
