Best-Smelling Flowers

Hyacinth

These highly fragrant flowers are known for having a strong, sweet scent.  Its aroma develops as the bud blooms, starting out as lightly floral and becoming more intense and heady as it opens. The scent is so sweet that it deters pests and animals drawn to its bright colors. A wonderful pick-me-up for anybody who loves sweet aromas, the hyacinth is a beautiful flower that comes in bright colors such as pink, blue, purple, and white.

Freesia

Freesias are a lovely trumpet-shaped flower with a sweet and fruity scent. They have delicate, thin petals and grow in a variety of colors. Freesia is a terrific way to bring a natural, sweet floral smell into your home.

Rose

Known the world over for its elegance and alluring scent, roses make a wonderful addition to any bouquet you want to be “scent-sual.”  There are different types of fragrances roses can have due to their genetic make-up and growing conditions. Also, the smell of a rose as a bud varies from when it is fully opened. The rose’s fragrance becomes more intense when the weather is warm and humid. Smelling roses is considered relaxing and restorative as it makes us slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy its pleasant aromatic notes.

Peony

Peonies bloom only for a short span of time, but when they do, these lush, abundant blooms exude a fresh, sweet fragrance that can a fill a room with their wonderful aroma. Peonies come in an array of soothing colors such as pink, white, and lavender. Pink and white double peonies tend to be the most fragrant while single peonies do not have a scent.

Sweet Pea

Lovely and delicate, beautiful Sweet Pea flowers have a sweet, airy aroma which makes it a favorite ingredient in soaps, perfumes, and lotions. Sweet and gentle, this a flower that pairs well with other more flashy florals such as peonies and roses. With thin, fragile petals that make up a small bloom, the scent of the Sweet Pea more than makes up for its size.

Lily

Some varieties of Lilies can be overwhelmingly fragrant and perfumey, like Starfighter lilies. These hot-pink beauties have the strongest scent which is described as sweet and tropical. Sonata lilies have a more subtle and delicate fragrance which is citrus-like. Rose Lilies, known more for their dramatic look, have only a hint of a delightful smell.
