    Tricky one and quite subjective I would have thought, but out of the two cultivars I currently grow, 'Perfume Princess' and 'aureomarginata', I'd say I prefer the latter which seems to carry further.  As a plant, I prefer PP with its larger and more numerous flowers from a relatively young age.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    The sense of smell is a very debatable topic. Some studies say the sense of smell of men and women is different, some "odors" are pleasant to some people and unpleasant to others, etc. Which is why it is impossible to answer your question.
    See this poll I started some time ago: Paperwhite Narcissus: sweet or foul smell?

    I wish I could grow Daphne down here, but the summers are too hot and arid.   A smell which reminds me of my childhood.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.
