    I love phyladelphus 'Belle Etoile', lilac blossoms, roses especially the wonderful Gertrude , Susan William Ellis, Munstead Wood, the climbing rose Compassion, heliotrope, lillies especially Regale types, violets and our native primroses for winter, sweet box. For evening scent petunias can be powerful, evening primroses, gorgeous white jasmine, honeysuckle, nicotiana sylvestrus, lovely sweetpeas, wallflowers, chocolate cosmos is always a must in a pot for my patio table for the summer, l love its cocoa/ vanilla scent, oh  and a little shrub called 'Choysia White Dazzler' l bought last year the pretty white flowers smell exactly like marzipan, it also flowers twice in April and then in September. I love my scented plants but l just can't abide lavender.

    Roses, esp Mortimer Sackler and Gloriana.  Jasmine, reminds me of hot summer holidays in Turkey.  Wallflowers, remind me of my childhood.  Sweetpeas, the old fashioned ones.  Sweet Rocket.   New mown grass. 

    Can't stand the smell of privet.

  • Phlox reminds me of childhood. Also like Cl.Armandii, Brompton Stocks, Sweet Peas, Vib. Bodnantense (spell?), Abraham Darby and Compassion roses and Night Scented Stock. During Autumn when passing by a row of Parsnips in the ground ... the smell of them is lovely.
  • Zaluzianskya capensis. Very strong scent in the evening,suitable for growing indoors.
