With their heady scents, flowers are often used in perfumery, not only in fragrances but also in potpourri, herb cushions, pomanders and sachets.
The essential oils of many flowers are used in the making of perfumes. The scents of flowers are affected by the soil and the climate in which they are grown. Oils are often extracted by distilling them. Although there are numerous flowers that are used in perfumes, some are more frequently chosen for their strong fragrance. The most popular flowers include roses, jasmine, violets, lilies, orange flowers and plumeria. Others that are used include lavender, magnolia, moonflower, chamomile, rosemary and sweet pea
