| When we discuss fragrant flowers, we lacks a standard to campare. I totally agree with Jyothi and charlottelily. I gave away my figo long time ago. One time I wrote a method to evaluate the fragrance of camellia on The Camellia Journal. The standard fragrant flower is set with a camellia species of lutchuensis. The flower is placed in room temerature( at 70 to 72 degrees F ) for about 5 hours before evaluation: the standard fragrance intensity as 5 the standard fragrance preference as 5 the discription of the fragrance as sweet lemony Intensity, Preference, Description of the fragrance Then if there is a new fragrant camellia, slightly mild, fragrance is still very attractive but different, I would give my evaluation about the fragrance as: 4/5, 4.5/5, blend of rose and wild flower fragrance. If one flower is even better than the standard, it can be expressed as: 5/5, 5.5/5, like a high quality perfume If one camellia has a strong ordor, not very inviting, it can be as: 5.5/5, 1/5, earthy and slightly moldy It is hard to evaluate different kinds of fragrant flowers with this method. |
