Flowers and their Scent

Over the last couple of weeks I've been lucky enough to receive flowers from several Forummers. One of the bouquets had some freesia buds, which have now opened into a delicate mauve/lilac/blue colour. The most striking thing, though, is their scent; it's absolutely glorious and, even though the vase is on the dining room table, the perfume is noticeable when you walk in the front door. It's not heavy or over-powering; it's actually quite a delicate scent, and it's just lovely.

On the other hand, when Clutterbug was in hospital, I went into the hospital chapel, where there was a bowl of dark pink hyacinths. Although I wanted to stay there for a while, I had to leave as I couldn't abide the smell.

Do you have a favourite flower scent...and a least favourite?
