C. percivaliana fragrance can be pretty different fromplant to plant... I know plants that smell like champignons, other like stink-bugs and others more like dirty socks... however, I do not know any with such a strong fragrance that I would say it is unpleasant...

I have a clone of the famous 'Summit' and I think it smells very strongly of stink bugs. Gross!!

Gena,
Your plant looks nice and you are lucky that it does not smell like stink bugs! lol
