Scent

Yes, the smell of warm, fresh strawberries in an enclosed space- you would think it would be quite pleasant, but I can hardly get in the car for the stench.
I've noticed that lilies of the valley are quite temperature dependent at least to my nose. At lower temperatures (40-50 degrees F) they are less aromatic and sweet as smelling of acetone and some other organic solvent I can't quite place......
Regards,
Phil

Yes, I'm one that keeps trying to find a pleasant paperwhite. I'm
growing some from seed now so that maybe I can get some that way.
Meantime, I grow them outside and don't pick them for the house.
Scents can change from delicious to disgusting depending upon
temperature and concentration. Try driving home with a basket of ripe
strawberries on a warm day. The car will smell like a garbage can.
