Also, why did you used to move the plant? Temperature?

I only get a fragrance when it's blooming, perhaps just after . This one has a sticky sap coming out of the stems just behind each flower. I'm not sure if it's that which is fragrant as I've smelled it just after the flowers have dropped when that is still around.
I used to move it to the living room simply to view it there. Most of my flowering orchids move there to enjoy the blooms. This one though usually lives in higher light than my living room gets (and than my standard phals get) and just does not seem to like the move... aborting the flowers every time I've tried.
This has just opened the third flower on the first spike, and the first flower has just started looking like it's drying up. The second spike is still growing it's first bud. This is now the most flowers I've had one one spike of this so I'm really pleased
