I'd love to give this one a go, mostly because the description of the fragrance sounds wonderful - lemon, jasmine, and rose! - but I can't think of a single SoFlorida grower who's kept this successfully. Species.com says it comes from between 1,300 and 3,600 meter elevations. That means it gets coolish nights. In Miami we have months on end where the night temps are in the low 80'sf. A plant that's just a few hairs outside of its range is a painful plant to have - I've seen Aerangis punctata and worse for me, Ang. magdalenae, take 2 years to slowly wither and die.

Well, there can be a problem with the fragrance.
E. citrina has a sort of lemon like scent which I find pleasant.
A friend of mine was not really well-pleased. The scent reminded her of household cleaning liquid.
