J, the fragrance is pretty sweet and, with 4 blooms this year, rather strong, especially during the days when the plant is sitting in the sunlight. It's kind of strange because I have another C. mossiae that has much better-shaped blooms, but this one (that is, the one I posted here) has a stronger fragrance. So perhaps the great scent is a trade off for the less-than-perfectly shaped blooms.
