You are a lucky man David. Ever since I got interested in gardening, people
have raved on about the scent of this Boronia and I have planted them in two
gardens now. The problem is, I cannot smell it at all. I can stuff the
flowers up my nose, but with all the will in the world cannot smell anything
at all! As far as I know, there are no other scented plants that I am unable
to smell, so I am sorry, I just don't believe Boronia megastigma has any
scent, in spite of what everyone says :-)
