My favorite smell is from the osmanthus. Although its flower isn't very attractive and it's also very small. However, its smell is so good and it's even sweet in my opinion. When I pass by the osmanthus trees, the smell is so nice. We have a kind of tea comes from the osmanthus.

My favorite would be my country's national flower... and that is the Sampaguita or Jasmine in English... it has this sweet smell that emanates far... and it is much sweeter in the morning... there are vendors who sell them near churches and we put them around the statues of saint, Mama Mary, and Jesus Christ...

I love the smell of a wallflower! It has a unique smell which always reminds me of my childhood, it is winter and we still have the wallflowers in bloom! They are very hardy flowers in that they can withstand the frost and the icy conditions, we have lovely yellow and red flowers on them, even now! I can't resist smelling them whenever I go into the garden, they bring colour even in the Winter!

flowers - a rose that my husband gave me
Hi youless, I have two favorites. One is a rose and the other is lilacs. I like the way they both smell and look too. I don't think I know how a osmanthus smells or looks like.

I don't normally smell flowers. But I like their colors and shapes. If given a chance to smell different kinds of flowers, I would most probably choose the sweet smelling ones.

I think I would have to say roses or maybe even carnations, I think they are beautiful aromas...roses are quite common in perfumes and oils but i don't think i have smelt carnations in perfumes or oils and it is such a beautiful smell.

I think carnations don't have a very strong smell. It seems I have no idea how it smells like

My favorite is Orchid. It is very oriental flower with beautiful look. Too bad it doesn't last long.

Hello youless. There is a vast area in our school where a lot of osmanthus trees are grown. Every year in August the campus smells so sweet. But it is a pity that no one picks up the osmanthus on the tree that they finally drop onto the ground. What a waste not to use it! I love to eat osmanthus sugar or candy, so sweet. It is my favorite smell. Good day, youless.

My favorite is the Magnolia. It is a beautiful big tree with big white flowers on it and very prevalent in the Southern part of the U.S.
