floral scent

Bouquet's invisible essence

A floral scent is a fragrance derived from or reminiscent of flowers.

Perfumes often feature floral scents as their dominant notes.

The phrase distinguishes flower-like aromas from woody, citrus, or musky ones: The soap had a light floral scent.

Gardens, meadows, and bouquets are described as having floral scents when their collective fragrance is noticeable.
