How about a list of scent for shade which is a little more challenging. Roses like Zephrine Drouhin, Lily of the valley, Phlox, some clematis, Gardenia and honeysuckle as well as Sarcocccca, Daphnes and some Azaleas and Rhododenrons as well as some Hostas.
For Spring, try Lilac - some varieties are more highly scented than others - and they need space! Also Hyacynths
For Summer - Lavender, Roses (repeat flowering giving scent all Summer), Jasmine (though it's a bit of a thug once it gets established and can swamp plants nearby), Night scented Stocks, Nicotiana Fragrant Cloud.
'Rose of May' narcissus for late spring (well.. May!), Nicotiana, <span class="productClass">Zaluzianskya capensis (fantastic in the evenings), night scented stocks, Dianthus superbus.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
I have got a lovely honeysuckle in my garden. The flowers are quite small but they smell fantastic. I layered the original plant and now have its offspring in all corners, even growing up the washing line post.

Hesperis Matronalis - Sweet Rocket - just the most wonderful perfume carried through the garden on the evening air - once smelled never forgotten, and all from such a simple flower http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/advice/pests_and_diseases/identifier.shtml?scale_insects
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I love my Clematis Armandii and Summer Jasmine. Both quite vigorous but great if you have the space.
