I've always loved the smell of Amaryllis belladona. Once I had several stems of them in a room inside that had been closed up during the day. On entering the room the effect was almost narcotic. Different peoples senses could be a factor though. I once had an old rose that about 80% of the people who smelled it got a citrus scent, the other 20% smelled musk. Randy in Seattle, Washington.
