I've found many Cattleya hybrids to be very fragrant, mostly the bigger flowered ones though.

I have a Zygoneria "Adelaide Meadows' that smells so good! I had it in my bathroom today and it smelled up the whole room! I love this plant....I got it to bloom for the 1st time in spring and then she sent out another spike in late summer that's blooming now. This spike has 6 flowers. Cool thing: the smell from the flowers wanes at night time and then is back to normal in the morning. I can't quite put my finger on a similar smell, it's sweet, and tropical...get back to y'all on a better description. It perplexes everyone else too. Awesome plant!

My Bifrenaria harrisonia opened 3 blooms this morning. It has a honey/spicy perfume, and is very pleasing.

Wishing you all growing success.
