I wondered about Roses and their scent. I find out that fragrance has three components, top note, middle note and base note. So when it comes to Roses, here's one of the formal descriptions:
When used as a top note, the fragrance of Rosa rugosa can add a fresh and uplifting quality to a perfume, while as a middle note, it can bring a warm and comforting element to a fragrance. As a base note, Rosa rugosa can help to anchor the scent and give it a long-lasting quality that lingers on the skin.
Wouldn't it be such an experience to be a perfumer - one who creates perfumes? I start looking at the information and have second thoughts.
The average salary in Ontario is $55,888 up to $99,000. What would compare in terms of professionally creating? Would a mixologist - one who creates cocktails - be equivalent? Not in terms of salaries. Their average salary is $40,000 per year. I wonder if tips factor into this and improve things.
Could one be a perfumer in Ontario? One would work in a fragrance company such as Niche Essence, Lurker, Strange Perfumery, Vigyl and the 7 Virtues. Who would guess there are actually this many. I'm not familiar with perfume and don't wear it. Funny that I should so enjoy floral fragrances in the garden.
So in addition to the Rose's famous smell, there is the mystique of colour - the blue rose. The picture below shows rainbow roses. These are creations of chemistry and not photography. The stem is split into many parts with different colours of water for each piece to soak up into the petals.
What would happen with one of these at the Rose Show next weekend - I expect that would cause quite a reaction from the Judges.
Let's stop and smell the roses in this Royal Botanical Garden - The purple flowers are Alliums and they have an onion scent so it might be a strange combination.
