Fred, also, Parkinson's affects my sense of taste and smell. l purchased some beautiful seedlings from a local breeder about 15 years ago that were fragrant. l potted them in 4 gallon nursery pots, but tennis ball size bulbs disappeared the next season, never knew what happened to them. Fred I would try having someone else give a sniff. There are some folks that are blind ( in a nose sense) to certain scents. My wife can't smell some of my bulb flowers which I find very fragrant.

I tried detecting it at all times of day. (My sense of smell is good, so …) nothing. When I emailed Shceepers they assured me that I received the correct product. I know some of the papillo strains are said to be fragrant, and of course A. belladonna. But I was counting on a fragrant bloom from A. ‘Picasso". Anyone have any similar experience with Amaryllis ?
