The quince flower, derived from the quince tree (Cydonia oblonga), is notable for its delicate beauty and appealing fragrance. Blooming in the spring, quince flowers are usually a soft pink or white when they emerge but gradually fade to a pale white as they mature. Each bloom, composed of five petals, is not only visually attractive but also exudes a captivating scent.
The scent profile of quince flowers is subtly floral with hints of apple and pear, which mirrors the aroma of the quince fruit. It has a fresh, sweet, and slightly tangy fragrance that is lightly perfumed but not overpowering. This makes quince flowers an excellent choice for natural fragrances and essential oils, where they lend a unique and refreshing note. The fragrance, combined with the visual appeal of the blossom, enhances both gardens and floral arrangements, providing an uplifting and inviting sensory experience.
