Abstract
Floral scent is one of the survival strategies that flowers use to attract pollinators, and flowers of wild species change their scent to suit the pollinators they are attracting. On the other hand, there are many horticultural cultivars of flowers cultivated by humans, such as roses and lilies, which have scents that are not found in wild species due to artificial crossbreeding. Through human hands, floral scent has become more complex and diverse. Here, I will look at the scents of roses, lilies, and lisianthus to explain the diversity of flower scents.
