We had a discussion a year or so ago about the scent of paperwhites, 
and which ones actually smelled nice.  I never did find out, but I am 
growing some seeds from the Bulb Baron, so maybe I will produce my 
own.

The 40 families who grow more than 40 kinds of narcissi for 
cutflowers on the Isles of Scilly off Cornwall in England invited 
three "Noses" to sniff their flowers and write the sort of 
description that usually only wines and perfumes get.

I checked their website, hoping to find 40 descriptions, but it seems 
they keep the site updated according to the season, which is just 
about to end.

There are three descriptions only:  of Paper White, Soleil D'Or and Hugh Town.
