One of the well known classic Cattleya is in flower now at my place.

Thank you, Ramón! 
I would not say that its fragrance is unpleasant.... at least for my nose  Grass, slight notes of spices, something else which I can not define, but this tone quite recognizable ... All together is quite nice, but different in some way from others Cattlyeas. |

C. percivaliana fragrance can be pretty different fromplant to plant... I know plants that smell like champignons, other like stink-bugs and others more like dirty socks... however, I do not know any with such a strong fragrance that I would say it is unpleasant...

I have a clone of the famous 'Summit' and I think it smells very strongly of stink bugs. Gross!!
Gena,
Your plant looks nice and you are lucky that it does not smell like stink bugs! lol |
