    Can I suggest Philadelphus "Belle Etoile" which has heavily scented white flowers with a maroon/purple throat.  Also, for winter flowers on bare stems, try Chimonanthus fragrans (winter sweet). It takes a while to get established but the scent is worth the wait!  Final suggestion is winter flowering honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima) which also flowers early in the year with a delightful scent.

    Roses ,geraniums with scented leaves, jasmine, lavender and I even like th cat's pee smell of chrysanrhemums. I know most people don't like it but the smell of privet blossom reminds me of school holidays that lasted forever!

    In London. Keen but lazy.

     If normal mint isnt your thing you can get some amazing crossbreeds - ive got grapefruit and apple mint, which are dead easy to grow and have such unusual scents which also translate into cooking.

    Sweet rocket (Hesperis Matronalis) is quite delightful too.

    I know its not everyones thing, but i also love the smell of wild garlic in a wet spring.
