A few words on flowers and mood

Flowers bring positive emotional feelings thanks both to their colorful appearance and their delicate natural smell. There are numerous researches that show people who are given flowers or who arrange flowers in their homes and offices feel less anxious, less stress, and are overall positively affected by the flowers’ appearance and scent.

Here are 3 reasons to make your loved ones happy with a floral fragrance (even when there is no occasion):

1. You will put a smile on their face – everybody loves receiving presents (regardless of gender, age, social status, etc.). Add a flower bouquet and his/her smile will inevitably improve your mood for weeks ahead!
2. You will contribute to the receiver’s higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction – we all know how nice it feels to spray on a favorite perfume and go outside, knowing you can literally conquer the world now that you are wearing the invisible “shield” of fragrant elegance.
3. You will enjoy more quality time and intimate connections – giving and receiving flowers (as well as perfumes) is a personal gesture that the receiver highly values. The fact that you have spent the time to find out what scent they would like will certainly be appreciated!
