Neofinetia Lou Sneary has several beautiful, highly fragrant clones. My favorite is 'Blue Moon', even though I havn't seen it in person and can't find it anywhere.
Also:
Bulbophyllum ambrosia: honey, almost too sweet
Lycaste aromatica: cinnamon
Oncidium ornithorhynchum: complex sweetness, overall effect is brown sugar
Phalaenopsis mannii: mandarin oranges
Trichoglottis philippinensis: ripe or baked apple
Maybe a little redundant, but I'm also putting in my vote for Onc. Twinkle and Max. tenuifolia...now to figure out how to put the lime in the coconut (orchid)...

Hmmmm, very interesting Do you have any pictures of it? Does it also smell like chocolate? Are the flower spikes any more compact? I was drooling over a sherry baby at a show last year, but the spikes were immense, too big for what I had room for at the time.

Glad this thread was resurrected! My newest "go-to" frangrant orchid I use to compare all others (including Encylia tampensis) is Cischweinfia sheehanae. It is so "heady" a scent that all others pale to me. This plant will fill a room quickly with a strong flowery scent - very pleasant.

Me too! started to open a few days ago and I have been waiting for the fragrance. Yesterday I could smell it when I was near the plant - today I can smell it from the next room! lol

Hope you enjoy your new zygo as much as I am mine!

Well they bloom from very new growth - so perhaps the wait will not be as long as you might think

don't know if you can tell in the pic but spike is from that small new growth
