Flowers don't smell good, they smell like plants. amirite?

You might need to use a nettinpot to clear your sinuses.. and maybe get some allergy meds. A healthy nose should smell the differences.

Bouquets of roses at the store don't really smell like anything. I used to sell rose bushes, and they're heavenly. You need to smell the right flowers

there's over 380,000 different types of plants in the world, what would simply 'plant' smell like lol

by Anonymous 9 months ago

I think it is saying since there is that many why are flowers supposedly the only one that smells good. Some flowers do, some smell like nothing. But lots of other plants can also smell nice and aren't bright yp as much.

We have a snowball viburnum in our front yard. When it comes into bloom, you can smell it from down the street. Opening the windows in spring fills the house with its sweet fragrance. We call it the smelly bush.

You're right OP it's just big Blossom pushing their flower agenda on all of us. You need to head to the nearest flower nursery and protest. Down with big Blossom and their flowery cartel.

I used to feel this way until I smelled some blooming wild flowers, and there's a noticeable punch they pack that a bundle of cut flowers doesn't have.

This is why I'm glad to live in a country where gardening is the national hobby lol, flowers come in countless varieties and many of them smell delicious. Not all have a noticeable smell. But they absolutely don't all smell like generic "plant". Many flowers have their own unique scent. I don't know how you couldn't appreciate those scents unless you have an issue with your sense of smell, or you haven't smelled enough flowers.

by Dena71 9 months ago

There are a lot of flowers that don't have a scent other than "plant" - some even smell like hay. However, some smell amazing, like perfume! Hyacinths are my absolute favorite. They smell so wonderful! I collect a house plant that is called "Hoya", and many types of Hoya have flowers that smell identical to Hyacinths. Others smell like lemon or butterscotch or roses!

Some flowers have distinctive fragrance. Some do not. They make colognes and perfumes and soaps and candles with the ones that do. Can't do that with grass.

You can't smell roses? I have several rosebushes in my yard and I don't even have to be near them and I can smell them. My entire yard smells like roses and it's so lovely. Oh gosh, I just feel so sad for you that you can't smell roses, can you smell any flower? Lavender? Have you ever smelled wild mint? I have all these in my yard and I get so many compliments on such a great smelling yard lol

Smell oleander, yellow jessamine, gardenia, and there are fragrant roses, there are also fragrant orchids although they're hard to raise so not common. There is one type of orchid called Sherry Berry that smells like vanilla candy.

It sounds like you have issues with your smell. How do you reach "well it must be the entire world not me" conclusion before considering this...?

by Anonymous 9 months ago

It's not really an opinion though. Floral scents are objectively different to other plant smells, like leaves, for example.

by Anonymous 9 months ago

Your nose not working is a physical defect, not an opinion....

Flowers objectively don't smell like grass though. This is like someone with colorblindness having the opinion that two different colors are the same.

I have a really bad sense of smell too! It doesn't mean I can't smell. The things I can smell I can smell well. Like I can't just walk into a public washroom and not think it smells bad. But what I've realized is that I suck at noticing faint smells or distinguishing the differences between certain kinds of smells like flowers for example. I've been improving my sense of smell by literally practicing. Just being more intentional and mindful when I smell things and over time I've been able to notice an improvement.

by Uriel70 9 months ago

As someone with garbage sinuses, I can tell you that flowers are hit or miss for me. But this is not an issue with flowers. This is an issue with your sense of smell. I think that's been said here a lot, so I'll jump to the next step Look at nasonex and netti pots (use distilled water or boil for a minute+ to kill any bad things in the water). That will help your nose have a healthy environment to heal. Do you have issues with other scents? What about food or your sense of taste? An ENT might be worthwhile if it's still messed up.

Have you tried scented flowers like roses, sweet peas or chamomile?

Roses are the most obvious of most other flowers. Honeysuckles also have an aroma that's obvious.

You need to clear out your nose. Flowers smell very good, a light, pretty nature scent that is super sweet and unique depending on the flower.

by Unfair-Meeting1629 9 months ago

It's not a thing but if it's under your nose you'd smell it, it's nice and fruity (obviously), very different from smelling flowers (which do smell like grass or something)

by Anonymous 9 months ago

Have you gotten your nose/ sense of smell checked before....? Plants smell different. Flowers smell vastly different to grass or trees, not every flower even smells the same. If you are not interested/ don't see the appeal - that's fine and maybe actually unpopular.... but seemingly being unable to actually notice a difference doesn't sound quite normal to me.

by Anonymous 9 months ago

You know, I've never been able to differentiate much between the smells of flowers. They all smell the same to my nose, some stronger than others but still the same smell.
