Peter, this is a great flower for sure! Unfortunately, the adult clone I grow hasn't what I might call a perfume at all! That's why I acquired two other seedlings from different sources to see whether I am lucky enough to come up with something I can smell!!

Mauro,
This C. iricolor is coming from Brazil. Imported 2 years ago. Dont know from where. (import via Germany) The scent is really unbelievable. Very strong and very pleasant.

Definitely the strongest scent among all Cattleyas. But I don´t believe that C. iricolor grows in Brazil in nature. It was rediscovered by Padre Angel Andreetta in Ecuador in the gorges of Rio Pastaza and may eventually also grow in Peru. It is related to C. luteola which can be found in Brazil.
