👉 Floral fumes, also known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by flowers, are complex mixtures of aromatic compounds that contribute to their distinctive scents. These fragrances are produced by various chemical reactions within the flowers, including the breakdown of sugars and other organic compounds during photosynthesis and respiration. The specific blend of these compounds varies widely among different species, leading to a diverse array of floral aromas—from the sweet and heady notes of roses to the fresh, grassy scent of lavender. These fragrances not only attract pollinators like bees and butterflies but also play a crucial role in the plant's reproductive cycle by signaling potential mates. Additionally, floral fumes can have therapeutic effects on humans, offering aromatherapy benefits such as relaxation and stress reduction.
