Scented Gifts That Speak of Love

If you have a girlfriend that has broken up with someone or who is feeling a bit down you can give her a gift that helps her attract love or put out a vibe to attract someone new.  Even just a bouquet of flowers can help cheer up a woman who feels rejected or like dating is pointless.  You need to remind her how sexy she is and that she is still desirable.

 

Flowers that symbolize the emotion of love include daffodils, lilies, tulips, asters, bleeding hearts, daisies, roses, gardenia, lavender, orchid, poppy, primrose, periwinkle, hyacinth, trilliums, violet, and geranium.  Giving these flowers as the real thing or as ceramic sculptures or as a decorative motif on any item says, “I love you” or “I attract love.”

 

Some flower combinations actual symbolize finding a mate.  Honeysuckles symbolize finding a marriage partner who is rich, which is perfect for that girlfriend who is a bit of a gold-digger. Irises symbolize a woman who is going to be the Queen in any relationship; she will be respected like a goddess. The peony is a flower that symbolizes the union of two souls.  Giving your single girlfriend a picture of two peony blossom is an ancient tradition in Asia; the energy of the work of art is said to help her attract a true soulmate.

 

Roses of course are the absolute classic flower of love with red roses symbolizing passion and pink ones symbolizing a more pure love. White roses are given to someone that you respect. Handing someone a yellow rose means that you know that they have deceived you.

 

Rose perfume is also a very romantic gift, especially if it is rose absolute. In India there are some very expensive oils made from different varieties of roses. Yet another very expensive love oil is pure carnation oil. This is very hard to get and it is worth a king’s ransom if you can find it.

 

Yet another very romantic scent from India is patchouli. Patchouli also has the added element of arousing lust as one of its properties. The same is true of musk and amber.  Thierry Muegler is a perfumer that makes scents that contain many of these components.
