I’m not sure I would call the fragrance of N. viridiflora “wonderful”. It’s a little musky to me, but nicer than the fragrance of paperwhites, which to me are too potent and not much of what makes you say “ahhh”.
Autumn-flowering Narcissus is a thing. There are several Mediterranean species, but I’m no expert. However, I live in southern California, so I’ve spent a little time looking for them. The ones I know about are: NN. broussonetii, elegans, serotinus, and of course viridiflorus. I searched on the PBS wiki and found one more listed, N. cavanillesii. I know there are others.
Also, you should look at Bill (the Bulb Baron) Welch’s website and list. He’s one of the kings of breeding and selling autumn-flowering Narcissus—and Division 8 daffodil hybrids in general. <http://www.billthebulbbaron.com/>
