In the early 1500s, perfumers enjoyed a high status in Venetian society. It became a status symbol to have a signature fragrance created for you by one of these artists and both royalty and nobility regularly visited perfumers’ labs to consult on one-of-a-kind scents to be worn at balls, parties and state occasions. One tradition was to include a note of your birth flower in your custom scent. If your bloom didn’t have a natural scent, the perfumer would blend several essential oils to create a note that reflected your birth flower. Do you know what you birth month flower is? Here is the list:
January – Carnation
February – Violet
March – Daffodil
April – Daisy
May – Lily-of-the-Valley
June – Rose
July – Water Lily
August – Gladiolus
September – Morning Glory
October – Cosmos
November – Chrysanthemum
December – Holly

February 14, 2023 at 1:48 pmI’m a water flower and what a gorgeous bloom. I’m sure in the deep tropics the water flower has a beautiful aroma to them. So many of our flowers have been breed not to have a smell. Nothing beats the scent of a fresh picked carnation or Lily of the Valley. We have to remember if our flowers don’t have a scent to them this is where your favourite perfume can enhance their smell. Happy Valentine’s Day 💘💘💘

February 14, 2023 at 7:27 amDo gladioli have a scent? They are lovely but I don’t remember them having a specific aroma. Perhaps it’s an accord?
