Decades ago I remember Nicotiana as tall plants good for a shady corner
at the bottom of the garden where the bottom (N facing) and side (E
facing) met.

Tall, architectural plants and a wonderful scent in the evening.

These days most Nicotiana seem to be dwarf growing F1 hybrids with no
scent at all.

Apart from growing from seed, has anyone found these (e.g N.alata
Grandiflora) in any common or garden(!) garden centre?
