Sorry the fragrance description was such a challenge.

I tried to find words for milkweed aroma once and nearest I could come was "warmed honey or dried fall leaves on a sunny day." Anyway, you've convinced me to try growing some next year so thank you.

I guess that's why flower scents are so special.... almost impossible to describe and capture yet so special it's worth the effort of growing some things just for their pong.  :)

I find rose suppliers very misleading concerning strength of fragrance. "Perfume a whole garden" is rubbish.

Very true... with my sense of small it's often a matter of burying my nose into the middle of the bloom but there are some exceptions. Garden pinks on a good day, honey suckle, even wallflowers when the heat and humidity are right.
