'Love Blossoms' hits the romantic bone in all the right places. These actors have an affinity for each other and you can feel the affection. They also create some tension which helps move the story along in some of the slow parts.
Her character is a perfectionistic businesswoman who inherits her father's perfume company, based in Belgium. He has recently passed away, but he was also the talent who created the amazing perfumes. Although she has inherited his legacy, she is new to the business, which makes the situation even more difficult. She desperately needs a person to replace her father, someone with olfactory expertise to be a perfumist and help create perfumes for the company. She stumbles on a botanist who has been taking a break from Wall street and tends gardens nearby. His sense of smell is off the charts. He's an American as well (what are the odds? Pretty good for Hallmark). Of course she takes a risk to hire him as the new perfumer (someone who tests fragrances). She feels that maybe he can figure out her father's secret perfume recipe which is incomplete.
Hiring a botanist willy nilly to be a perfumist and fill the role of her expert father is beyond impractical and a potential disaster. Not to mention there are some shady characters with ulterior motives. This disaster actually devolves into a complete catastrophe, but in usual Hallmark fashion, it has a happy ending.
'Love Blossoms' is a successful production with lavish scenery and wonderful music to fit the setting. It entertains throughout and the performances are believable, although some of the accents are not so believable.
