When purchasing plants, it is our natural instinct to smell them before buying them. We all enjoy smells for different reasons, whether it’s a nostalgic smell from our childhood or simply a smell that reminds us what time of year it is.
Most natural fragrances come from plants like roses, fresh-cut grass, lavender, sandalwood, etc.; we can all picture how they smell without them in front of us.
