True! Perfume is at least usually satisfactory in scent haha.

Labiata was on my list of the most fragrant along with walkeriana, granulosa, dowiana and digbyana.

Do you mean a fan of cattleya in general? Or fan of species cattleya? Do you like hybrids as well?

I don't mind percivaliana's scent at all. It's not to everyone's liking, but I don't find it to be musty, pungent, or any of the other negative terms I've seen applied to it.
