I have paph delenatii, it doesn't smell like raspberries exactly, but it is very frangrant. I hear that there are two different varities, one of which has the best scent. Don't remember anymore than that, sorry. They are very easy to grow too, with very nice leaves.

delenatii (rose scent), malipoense (raspberry scent), hangianum, emersonii, kolopakingii are noted as being fragrant.
As well if you are lucky you may get a paph hybrid with some faint scent

My dark red one you like (Anhinga) smells like something dead by times if you put your nose right up to it. Guess it would be poliniated by flies in the wild, if it grew in the wild...
