I love the night scents of brugmansia and moonflowers around my patio.
Guests always seek out the source of the heavy perfume. The lilium family
breaks my heart with the heady orientals and Easter lilies (one bloom
really does scent an entire room!). The sweet smell of honeysuckle on a
hot day is refreshing along with mint (I usually make arrangements with
mint leaves to give a little punch to flowers with no scent). Lavendar
always smells fresh.
But nothing says Spring to me like carnations! You can smell the cloves
from the pinks in the evenings and early mornings; it seems as if they stay
in bloom for months. I stick to the basic fluffy pale cheddar pink,
although Bath's Pink is becoming my fave because it is indestructible.
