"she gathered the fragrant blooms"

Reduction is performed by simmering or boiling a liquid such as stock, fruit or vegetable juices, wine, vinegar, or a sauce until the desired concentration is reached by evaporation. This is done without a lid, enabling the vapor to escape from the mixture.

So, a fragrant reduction is to simmer or boil something to make it thicker.
