Nobody mentioned the Coelogyne species yet. I really love their scent (jasmine, vanilla scents) and they can become quit big plants with dozens of flowers...

Because I live in Oz all my orchids, we exception of my phalaenopsis, live outside. When some of them bloom I bring them inside for a while so I can enjoy them close up. Last year my Coelogyne flacida 'apricot' flowered for the first time and I brought it into my kitchen. The blooms are on pendulous strings and are such tiny beautiful little things. Well over the next couple of days several people ask me if the dogs had been peeing on the carpet! LOL Yes Coelogyne flacida smells like animal urine! LOL Two little strings of flowers stunk my whole house out! Needless to say it now stays outside!

For that same reason, I won't plant juniper in my yard. It smells like cat urine to me.

Many of the Cymbidium species scented nicely, for example: Cymbidium ensifolium; Cymbidium sinense; Cymbidium goeringii......etc.
