Flower power

Forget happy pills, the thing that really puts a smile on people’s face during times of uncertainty, like, gee, a recession, is a fresh, upbeat fragrance.

Yep, forget the cool, brooding, earthy notes of Jo Malone Black Vetyver Café Cologne, APIVITA Earth Scent and Instinct by David Beckham. What we need is a petal pick-me-up.

Terry Molnar, from the Fragrance Foundation USA, revealed recently, in British Grazia, that “floral perfumes do well in a recession because they’re dreamy and romantic. They’re referred to as hope scents.” Interestingly Dr Craig Warren of the Sense of Smell Institute at the University of California conducted a mood-mapping study of 70 women and found that flowers had “a predominantly happy effect on people, especially lily of the valley” so stock up on Taylor of London White Lily of the Valley Eau de Toilette and Crabtree & Evelyn Lily of the Valley EDP!

Fabulous florals loved by you:

Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom
“It’s really sweet and florally and complements any skin – I cannot get enough of it!” – Sharna2

Chloe

“Classic, floral, ultra-feminine – this scent takes the stadium with its divine bouquet of sensual, edgy and purely romantic notes. It’s soft and understatedly sophisticated. This scent knows no boundaries; it speaks volumes in sophistication in a teen and brings out the youthful aura in a woman. Perfectly Chloé.” – MishMoshy

Mediterranean

“This fragrance is fresh like the water at the Great Barrier Reef. It is also sweet in a sea breeze kind of way and has a tad of sexiness to it as well. I love to keep my bottle on my dresser and always feel like I’m on holiday when I put it on.” – softness

Did you know that according to psychologists, there’s a certain type of smile that can’t be faked that women make when they receive flowers? Well it ain’t rocket science boys.
