Many of the tazettas are also fragrant, although some people perceive the fragrance as unpleasant. I also find fragrance in many double daffodils. Check out the citrusy fragrance of 'Sir Winston Churchill'. And don't overlook 'Fragrant Rose', yes a daffodil with the fragrance of a rose, especially when it is relatively freshly open--not everyone can detect it; more men than women seem to be able to detect it when I ask them, but my female friends say the men are lying.
