When it blooms in the summer, the fragrance is much stronger.
Also, just for your records, your plant is T. cyanea 'Triflor'. Triflor is a specific cultivar of cyanea, but it's still a species.
There actually aren't a lot of common cyanea hybrids in my experience. The only one I see with any regularity is Tillandsia Creation -- it's absolutely astounding.

Hey. MrHappyRotter, thanks for the plant ID, although I've never noticed a fragrance from this plant. Oh well, love it when it blooms anyway.
