Still working on scents. have planted roses and honeysuckle last year
A wonderful clematis called Clem x triternata 'Rubromarginata' _ very small flowers but even in its first summer it would fill the air with a vanilla/almond scent. Lovely
Will read more of this thread when I have more time, ideas always welcome.
Hyacinths, philadelphus, roses, honeysuckle, lily of the valley, sweet peas - in a large tub by the front path. Also a few dianthus which seriously need thinning, their scent is very nice, but too near the (acid) ground!
Some cuttings of viburnum Dawn & a Daphne.
I've never liked the look of nicotiana, that's a good idea Bob - hide them amongst others! I'm with you on the roses, Dove - they must be scented.

I'm sitting here at the computer surrounded by a cloud of hyacinth scent; who needs to wait for summer.
In the spring I love our Chimonanthes praecox,Sarcococcas,Viburnum bodnantense and Mahonias
Then my favourites are Trachelospermum,Lavenders,Heliotrope, Dianthus,Jasmine,Philadelphus and Lilies

Can't stand the smell of mahonia!
Oops - not all "summer"
Have we all got a scent we can't stand? I like Mahonia (unlike Highland Jeannie) but I hate privet and philadelphus

Geranium leaves, lovely. Never really noticed the currant.
Eleagnus I love as well, umbellatus, angustifolia and ebingeii. Could sit downwind of any of those for ages.
