I agree it depends on temperature, humidity and the stage the flowers are in. I have a very fragrant Viburnum and some times it's so fragrant it's overpowering and too much and you smell it half a mile away (Well Almost!) and on other occasions for no obvious reasons you can hardly smell it at all but it's in full flower. Half an hour later and it can be very fragrant for no apparent reason.
I have a beautiful rose, it's a soft purple colour and smells like Parma Violet sweeties. I cannot remember the name but I think Blue was in there somewhere. When I get up and do the morning check of the garden I really have to stuff my nose right in to a bloom to get a faint whiff of scent but when I come back from work around 330pm you can smell it from 10 yards away most days, further if it's been damp.
Two climbers I have seem to give of scent whenever they feel like it, sometimes there is none at all and other times they smell lovely, also stronger when it's been damp, but there doesn't seem to be a pattern to the scent coming and going.
