Now available for purchase is the scent that drives Edward Cullen to distraction… that irresistibly forbidden fruit… the scent that is his own personal brand of heroin. He compares Bella’s scent to freesia and lavender in the first book on page 306. Freesia appears several times throughout the series; the more memorable moments being when he gifts her with freesia for her prom corsage (in the out takes) and as part of her wedding bouquet. If you haven’t read the scenes I’ve provided them below:
“Just because I’m resisting the win doesn’t mean i can’t appreciate the bouquet,” he whispered. “You have a very floral small, like lavender…or freesia,” he noted. “It’s mouthwatering.”
“Yeah, it’s an off day when I don’t get somebody telling me how edible I smell.”

and
“Alice, Rosalie…thank you,” he breathed without looking away from me. I heard Alice chuckle in pleasure.
He stepped forward, cupping one cold hand under my jaw, and stooping to press his lips to my throat.
“It is you,” he murmured against my skin. He pulled away, and there were white flowers in his other hand.
“Freesia,” he informed me as he pinned them into my curls. “Completely redundant, as far as fragrance is concerned, of course.” He leaned back, looking me over again. He smiled his heart-stopping smile. “You are absurdly beautiful.”

and
“Charlie, would you grab the flowers, please?”
…
Charlie returned with the two frothy white bouquets. The scent of roses, and orange blossom and freesia enveloped me in a soft mist.

Did you know that nearly all flowers have a meaning associated with them? It comes from before the Medieval times, but was popularized in the Victorian times. Freesia, I have found, symbolizes innocence and trust. A more perfect flower could not be chosen to represent the pair. Edward put much importance on Bella’s innocence and trust in him. He especially did not want to corrupt her, in any fashion, with the demon inside him. It is therefore poetic that freesia also represents him–his innocence and trust in the newly formed bond between them, a love so strong it could withstand the trials of time.
The bottle reads: The forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest!
Size of Bottle: 2.7 fluid oz
Notes: I would be interested in getting the notes for this perfume. All I know is from the packaging which says it’s a combination of freesia and lavender. If you happen to know the specific notes please share!
