Pick fragrant flowers in
the early morning or late afternoon – the volatile oils that carry
the scent are evaporated by the sun. For the most intense
experience of a flower’s fragrance, lean close and breathe lightly
into it before inhaling. The heat and rush of air
releases the fragrant oils. Fragrances seem to lose their scent
after a few moments, but the flower hasn’t run out of perfume –
rather, your olfactory system is saturated and you are numbed by the
smell.
Don’t use chemical sprays on fragrant flowers in bloom – it can
affect the scent.
