Default Help With Indoor Culture of a Few Stanhopea & Their "Smell"

Ok, so these flowers are not something I am drawn to really, but I am thinking of getting a few species.

I'm most curious about their winter temperature requirement and the scent.

Unfortunately, three that I would love to have require quite cool (almost cold) winter low average according to some search.
These are : embreei, anfracta, gibbosa,
I find the first two very beautiful and unique.
I read that embreei and gibbosa smell wonderful.
Regarding anfracta, though, some say nice, but many people say it is disturbing like bathroom cleaner with orange kick to it. So I might erase this one off.
Anyways, all these have winter low average of 40-50F.
There is no way I can provide this. The lowest I can go is about 65F, and this is the coldest winter night in my apartment.
I'm sure some plants might just flower regardless, but I'd like to hear from any home grower with similar temperature range as mine, and have success with these three.

Now, the next two are warm grower year around, so I'm definitely wanting them, but they both look similar in photos.
These are candida and reichenbachiana.
I believe the main difference is that reichenbachiana has a larger flower and the flower texture is very glossy.
I could not find much info regarding their fragrance.
Candida- wintergreen, winter berry (what the heck is winter berry??)
Reichenbachiana- sweet and spicy. Now, this is too abstract. It can be good, or terrible. lol
I also read one note saying winter berry, but this might be a mistake as I have seen people report candida as reichenbachiana?
They both have white flowers, and if they smell about the same, then I don't need them both.
I'm leaning towards reichenbachiana. I like shiny flowers.


For those who have these species, please help!
Many thanks!
