Your favourite garden scent?

I can't seem to play it on my machine but maybe that is a good thing!!

 

About as welcome as the smell of BBQ firelighters in the afternoon!

 

So many lovely ones to choose from!

I love the scent of bluebells, and also primula. Very subtle at first, but when you get close enough both of those are gorgeous.

Lilac for the wow factor, no effort required to catch the scent of those!

And of course roses.

Crushing mint leaves between the fingers, and running a hand over the herb bed, Rosemary, thyme, sage and oregano.

So many lovely scents, what a great thread too

 

One of the strongest scents, on a warm evening, Tuber rose, or Polyanthes tuberosa.
Not easy to find good tubers recently though.

 

Plumeira (Frangipani) but I don't get much of a chance to smell it here.
Wild but wonderful Gorse!! On a warm summer's day it can almost be overpowering.

 

Our fragrant Azalea,freshly mowed grass,nicotania, autumn leaves burning in the distance, blackcurrant bushes when you brush into them, lilac and finally the smell of a damned good bar b que

 

Quite a few been mentioned I like but I can't get enough of night scented stocks

 

@Perki Oh I adore night scented stock, must buy a packet of seeds tomorrow.

 

I like the scent of roses, fragrant cloud, arthur bell, are two of my favourites.
I also like the smell of herbs, and other plants.
Great topic, thanks for posting.

 

Thank you everybody, lots of lovely evocative suggestions so far! All ones I like too, except Jeyes Fluid - I once used that to clean the patio here and .

And napalm is something I hope never to smell, myself, though I do like gunpowder, which makes me think of firework displays, and an occasion when I was crossing Hyde Park with my mum and we were surprised by the Royal Horse Artillery, galloping in to do a multi-gun birthday salute for the Queen Mum. It's the only time I've seen that and it is the most dramatic thing - not so much the salute itself as the horses and gun carriages galloping in. Here's one for the Queen:

And today at the garden centre I've fallen a little bit in love with the smell of freesias!

 

Has anyone mentioned nettle brew?

Never seen anything like that, it is quite impressive.
