Best-Smelling Flowers

Hyacinth

These highly fragrant flowers are known for having an earthy and sweet scent. Coming in a range of colors like pink, red, purple, white, orange, and blue, the hyacinth’s 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. Hyacinths are a wonderful pick-me-up for anybody who loves sweet aromas.

Freesia

Freesias emit a sweet, fruity scent and come in an array of rich colors. A beautiful trumpet-shaped flower with delicate leaves, freesia is a wonderful way to bring a natural, sweet smell to any home.

Rose

Known the world over for its beauty and its intoxicating scent, roses have a lovely, aromatic scent that is sometimes, mysterious, sometimes romantic, but always pleasant. Smelling roses is considered relaxing and restorative as it makes us stop, breathe deeply and slowly and enjoy its wonderfully pleasing perfumey notes.

Peony

Peonies are considered one of the best-smelling flowers around. They bloom only for a short period of time, but when they do, these lush, full blooms emit a fresh, sweet fragrance that fills a room with their wonderful scent. Peonies come in an assortment of 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

Sweet Peas have a delicate, pleasing aroma often found in soaps, perfumes, and lotions.  With thin, fragile 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 pleasant fragrance to any arrangement.

Lily

Lilies come in a range of scents from light and pleasant smelling to overwhelmingly fragrant and perfumey. Bright pink Starfighter lilies have the strongest scent which is described as sweet and honey-like. Sonata lilies have more of a light, a citrusy aroma that is subtle and delicate. Rose Lilies, on the other hand, have only a hint of a delightful smell.

Lavender

The scent of lavender has been cherished for centuries and used for it’s soothing and calming properties. Fresh cut lavender can last for over a week in water and since it dries well, its aroma can be enjoyed for a long time.
