Hello Laura,

All the books say that Amaryllis belladonna is fragrant. But honestly, when I stick my nose into these flowers, and for sure I did...... there is not much to be detected. The only thing I can smell is a sour note like capers in vinegar..... difficult to describe but that is the closest I can get.
I normally have a fine nose and can distinguish different notes in a perfume, and with my partner there is a frequent laughing disagreement between the two of us: he says that I must be hallucinating about something I smell and he does not at all. But I know that some people can smell things others cannot. Maybe Amaryllis belladonna has a fragrance I cannot detect.

Smile.....

Uli
