To me, Onc. Sharry Baby smells like chocolate mousse. Delicious! I have 2 fragrant orchids and 1 smelly orchid. I love the scent of my Paph. delenatii. It smells like a bouquet of flowers and sugar. Not a super strong smell and not overpowering.

Neofinetias and Sedirea japonica. The scents are not overpowering like some genus.
Cheers.

Trichoglottis brachiata

You should try growing it again.
Dave you are in Florida....you can grow brachiata outdoors with no trouble at all; you have humidity in your atmosphere
( it doest like winter cold or frost=you need to put it indoors if it gets below 50F)

I love the fragrance of cattleyas, except for when I was pregnant and the smell was so strong it made me sick.

My two favorites are: encyclia cordigera, and encyclia ceratistes. My cattleya Irene Holguin "Brown Eyes" also has a wonderful fragrance. I will be posting a picture of its nine blossoms in the next day or two...BettyE

Once I open the window, I'm fine with Sharry Baby. sickly sounds rather harsh.
I love the scent regardless.

You must mean oriental lilies as asiatic lilies do not have scent.

I am not a phal grower,but I remember having Sogo Grape and it had a terrific, candy berry-grape like fragrance. It bloomed easily on a glossy, small leaved plant. Too bad I don't live near Hausermann's anymore. They always perked up the living room.
