Fragrance is so hard to describe when it's not something specific... It's very floral and a bit spicy. My best attempt to describe it would be floral with spicy, citrusy notes. Similar to a Burr Nelly Isler if you've ever smelled one before.

All I have is my phone I'm not sure how I'm going to go about this, but I do know that (perhaps because they're taken on my phone) I can't upload any more than 3 at a time. I can't wait to post them though, and hopefully I'll get someone here to help identify a couple of them...

I was going to say that I can't wait for the photos, but when I went to reply to this one I saw that you created a thread with photos. I'm going to go drool over your Phals now.

The one that I have the lease propped up with an upturned martini glass is just opening its bud under the leaf. It's almost opened up all the way and I will send a picture tomorrow. I would love it if someone can identify some of these.

Oh and i think your lueddemanniana is what it's labeled as.. mine doesn't look like that but I've seen some others online with that shape.

And the way you described the fragrance, I really recognize mine. What makes you doubt it?
