There are several blue orchids that are very fragrant such as Rhynchostylis coelestis, Cattleya mossiae coerulea, Cattleya lueddemanniana coerulea and many others.

Have you smelt these? If so what do they smell like?

There's an advertisement on here in Oz at the moment for shampoo and conditioner and it says

"infused with the fragrance of orchid and vanilla"

LOL it really annoys me and I'm like "Duh! Vanilla is an
orchid! And which other orchid are we talking about? There are a few! LOL"

hehe

Rhynchostylis coelestis - Not yet , but I have had a couple of hybrids. One was 81.25% coelestis and it reminded me of grapes. The other is 50% coelestis has a sweet floral scent.

Cattleya mossiae - I have a few and I would describe its a medium to stong floral scent.

Cattleya lueddemanniana - Not yet. My plants have not bloomed for me yet, still too small. But I here is is similar to jasmine.
