Orchids with a strong scent

Go to the Canadian Orchid Congress on the Internet they have a lsit of fragrant orchids alphabetically with more orchids than you can imagine.

Ooh, I just need to add my two cents (scents?) here.

My favourites are:

softcane Dendrobiums: floral, with a spicy, dangerous bottom note.

Blc Greenwich: which smells exactly like rose-geranium aromatherapy oil. It has the Brassavola/Rhyncholaelia digbyana heritage to thank for that! Yummo.

Sharry Baby, baby! Smells like fresh baked chocolate chip cookies to me. Max Tenuifolia really does smell like coconut cream pie. Most Zygos are heavily scented of Jonquils. For sheer power-per-flower, I'd have to go with Sedirea Japonica. Mine bloomed for the first time with only four 1" blooms, yet I can smell it's rose scent from several feet away.
