Best-Smelling Flowers

Hyacinth

Bright, beautiful, and highly fragrant, Hyacinth flowers are known for having a hearty, sweet scent.  Its aroma starts out as lightly floral in the bud and then becomes more intense as it opens. Their scent is so sweet that it actually prevents pests and animals from coming near. Hyacinths are a wonderful pick-me-up for anybody who loves sweet aromas and vibrant gorgeous blooms.

Freesia

Freesias are a popular flower because they grow in a variety of colors and have a sweet, fruity scent. Delicate, elegant, and lovely, having a vase of freesias is a wonderful way to bring a natural, sweet aroma into your home.

Rose

The world’s most popular flower, the rose, and its mysterious, romantic scent, has been cherished for centuries. There are many different flavors of aromas to the rose, though, depending on its genetic make-up and growing condition. Garden roses typically have the most robust fragrance while light-colored roses are more citrusy smelling. Darker colored roses such as red and pink, have a stronger scent and one most of us are more familiar with.

Peony

Considered one of the best smelling flowers around, Peonies are a summer favorite. They bloom only for a short period of time, though, and when they do, these lush, full blooms emit a fresh, sweet fragrance that can fill a room with their wonderful aroma. Peonies come in various pleasing colors such as pink, white, lavender, and magenta. Pink and white double peonies tend to be the most fragrant while single peonies do not have a scent.

Sweet Pea

Beautiful and elegant, the Sweet Pea has a lovely sweet scent that pairs well with other fragrant florals. With thin, delicate petals that make up a small bloom, the scent of the Sweet Pea more than makes up for its size. This is a flower that adds a wonderful pop of color and pleasing fragrance to any arrangement.

Lily

Lilies are known for having a strong, perfumy smell, but it all depends on the variety. For example, Rose Lilies have barely any scent at all while Starfighter lilies have a strong, bold aroma described as sweet and tropical,  Sonata lilies, falling somewhere in between, have more of a light, citrusy fragrance which is subtle yet pleasant.

Lavender

Lavender is an herb that has been cherished for centuries and used for it’s soothing and calming properties. Pleasing to smell and pleasing to look at, lavender is a great accent flower to have in arrangements.
