Bryony
Camellia
Cicely
Dahlia
Daisy – as a nickname
Flora – it means flower close enough

Iris
Sage -mn only
Fern

I've always thought Coriander was really pretty. Rose, Juniper, and Persimmon are the only others I can think if right now. Oh, Lavender and Lilac too.

Nasrin (I believe pronounced "nahs-reen") means wild rose in Persian. Try looking at Arabic and Persian/Iranian female names, as they tend to have very descriptive floral/nature meanings.

Rose
Coriander
Daisy
Iris

Anemone
Juniper
Cedar
Sage
Lavender
Jasmine
Valerian
Oleander

---

Notable mention:
Melisse (it's Dutch for Melissa, the plant)
Clementine
Marjoram / Marjolaine (I'm biased, bc my real name is the Dutch variant of this)

---

Not suiteable for a person per se, but I like these as well:
Bergamot
Thyme
Jeneverbes (Dutch for Juniper, I mostly like the look of this word, not necessarily the pronunciation)
Cinnamon (I like this mostly for the sound)
Tarragon / Dragon (drhah-KHON, Tarragon in Dutch)
Tangerine

---

For a business I'd be very tempted to use a name more along the lines of (I like word-play):
Scents and sensibility
Scentsible
Esscential
Scentury / Scentuary
Tranquility (one of my fav words in English)

---

edit: I love Lotus as well :)
