This has done well in windowsills; spring-autumn in a west or east facing window, winter in a south facing window. I don't know if it needs the south facing window in winter, but as things come inside, and get moved around for winter, that's where there is space
The scent is wonderful! Spicy. A couple of days after both flowers had opened, twice I came inside (after nightfall) and smelled something really nice - the first time, wondering what it could be, I looked around where I was (kitchen) and realized I had no blooming orchids in that area - the second time, I came in from the back into my bedroom (the plant being in another bedroom), at first puzzled, but then remembered there was a Brassavola blooming down the hall

Thanks
I can smell mine down the (short) hall! In the past, I would put it in my bedroom when it was in bloom, but didn't have space for it this time.
