Their aroma is so pleasant it’s often used in perfumes, lotions, soaps, and hand creams. Their scent can vary somewhat based on their color, with red and pink freesias typically having the strongest scent.
Rose
Roses are well-known for their beauty, grace, and intoxicating scents. Darker colored roses like pink and red typical have a stronger scent. A rose’s fragrance varies based on its genetic make-up and growing conditions so you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get. This only adds to the appeal of the wonderful and mysterious rose. For strong-smelling varieties, garden roses are the best choice.
Peony
These lush, complex blooms with soothing colors are a wondrous delight to look at, but they also come with a fresh pleasing scent too. Some consider the peony to be the best smelling flower around. Their shape and fragrance pair well with other scented florals such as roses and sweet pea.
Sweet Pea

Their thin petals and lovely colors of white, pink, and purple give them an elegant and graceful quality. A wonderful gift for any flower lover, you can’t go wrong with Sweet Peas.
