Naughty by Nature: Simultaneous stimulation of several senses
“You could say that the inspirational theme Naughty by Nature is rather mischievous,” says trend watcher Aafje Nijman. “It is intended to stimulate several senses; not only sight and smell but also taste and touch.”
“Anything suggestive is just fine in the Naughty by Nature theme even dipping a rose in real chocolate. The smell of chocolate excites the nose and the taste buds as well as stimulating the imagination. In fact, if the rose in question were organically grown, it could even be eaten! How about making it an exclusive starter for a romantic dinner? It would also look fabulous as a decoration on a special gift. Why not collaborate with a perfume store or a confectioner? There are other ways of stimulating the senses; for example painting the thorns on roses red with nail lacquer, or the use of pointed leaves or cuddly fur. Think about whether sensuality could be something that appeals to your clientele and whether it should be elegant, delicious or aggressive. But remember, there is a fine line between good taste and vulgarity.”

Tips: Sensual flowers
Create strong arrangements with big contrasts between hard & soft and spiky & fragile. Use luxurious flowers such as Anthurium, Celosia, Dendrobium and roses. Choose predominantly pink and purple shades combined with black and chocolate brown. Yellow, green, and gold create additional excitement. Be careful with hard colour combinations such as red, white and black. These may be fine for a modern target group but could be too confrontational for more traditionally oriented customers.
