"Research suggests that floral scents increase positive emotions."
Mandy Aftel, owner of Aftelier Perfumes offers up odes to five beloved blooms:
ROSES
"They can be spicy, vibrant and heady, or soft and sweet. Smelling a rose is grounding ~ when crush a few petals in your hand; it calms the flows through your body."
MAGNOLIAS
"These have a fresh, clean scent that's a bit fruity and tart, with a crisp finish that's not as sweet or cloying as other flowers."
JASMINE
"It has a sweetness but also, because of a compound called indole - this is going to sound strange - a faintly rotten quality. The combination is sexy and intense."
GARDENIAS
"Gardenias possess a heavy, rich undertone. Picture the texture of cream ~ convert that to a scent and you'd land close to gardenias."
LAVENDER
"It smells bright, green, and tart, which makes in invigorating. You will find that it perks you up and eases stress and tension."
