SYRINGA VULGARIS
White scented Lilacs have long been a representative of purity and innocence, with a scent so luscious they have been acquired as a sought after commodity. With Victorians adoring the heady white blossoms, the aroma of these beautiful blooms picked up a name for themselves, known to some as the boudoir scent.
From the best selling book 'A Short History of Flowers', by Advolly Richmond OBE.
