I like the scent of the Sarcococca - not many flower scents I dislike. Some people do tend to lose their sense of smell ( and taste) as they get older.

This magnificent critter shows up very infrequently, she must have a large territory to cover. I just wish she would put a dent in the gray squirrel population.
