Scent perception is often an individual matter, isn't it, Marge? To me,
boxwood smells like every cat in the neighborhood has "visited" the same
spot. I have found that sometimes there is also a difference between how
males and females perceive scent. Tazetta daffodils, and some double
daffodils with tazetta genes, are often perceived differently, some loving
them, some hating them.
