I love it when they double bloom!!!!
Nice growing Sue!!
I noticed that mine smells the most in the morning. I notice a very faint, yet noticable H. odorata smell from my vivarium when I open it for the first time in the morning. But not in the afternoons.
My suggestion to you is that as soon as the flower falls off, put it in a little jar. Wait an hour and take a sniff at the jar. You should be able to detect the smell then. And then your nose will know what to smell for the next time it blooms.
