Floral fragrances are some of the favourite ones during this season

Spring is well-known to be a season where our senses are especially sensitive, where emotions are felt with more intensity than in other seasons.  It is a magical time of year, in which many flowers bloom and green landscapes replace brown ones.  It’s the right period for floral fragrances which are actually the favourites during this season.

Forsythias, azaleas or cherry blossoms are some of the flowers blooming in spring.  However, there is one flower that takes the lead role in this season.  It is a beautiful one, commonly used for romantic purposes and also widely used in perfumery.  Can you guess which one is it? Yes, that is right, it is the rose.

There are different rose´ species, up to 100! Among them we find Damascus Rose or Rosa Damascena.  Damascus Rose is a rose hybrid.  Native of Iran, it was carried to Syria, and then brought from Damascus to all Europe.  Damascus roses only bloom thirty days each year.  Besides, the blossoms are still picked manually, and the picking is always a race against the sun as these roses have to be picked before sunrise.

Furthermore, Rosa Damascena is very well considered by its enchanting scent and also associated to health benefits.  It is believed this type of rose has got anti-aging properties as well as a positive effect on the treatment against anxiety or stress.  Actually, Damascus Rose is not only used to create perfumes but also to produce essential oils and cosmetics.

There is also another type of really famous rose called Centifolia Rose.  The so-called Rose of the Hundred Leaves or Rose de Mai originates from the Caucasus although it is cultivated mainly in Morocco, and other countries with smaller production: Italy, the Balkan republics and Tunisia. Centifolia Rose blooms from 20 to 25 days in May.  Its harvest is so splendid that, if in the morning its flowers are plucked, the next day they are again in full bloom.

Centifolia Rose along with Rosa Damascena are two of the rose types more used in perfumery.  Their intense scent is much valued, not only for feminine fragrances but also in masculine and infantile perfumes.

No doubt why spring is the time of floral fragrances, fresh scents which make us feel energetic and relaxed in equal parts, scents which have a pleasant effect on our mood.
