Orchids with a strong scent

[chickazilla]

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this. I've had a gorgeous miltoniopsis in bloom for almost 5-6 weeks now and it was incredibly fragrant every day. But suddenly, after watering the other day, it stopped producing fragrance, although the blooms show no signs of fading AT ALL and look very vital. If anyone here knows anything about this, would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

Mine seemed to only produce noticeable scent when in warm temperatures and/or bright light (scent seemed to "shut off" when moved from sunny, warm windowsill). Also, it seemed the scent was strongest in the morning.
