I am rather surprised to find a stinky Brassavola. Most Brassavolas are
faintly sweet smelling and only at night.

I have a Brassavola cucullata that has probably the most pleasant
orchid fragrance I have experienced. Its medium-strong, sweet,
citrusy pungency permeates a room about an hour after sunset on until
morning. Absolutely delightful fragrance.

Perhaps Gene's Brassavola is a sport.

On the other hand, the fly-attracting Bulbophyllums can be wretched smelling.

Troy Meyers provided a flask of Bulbo echnolabium I'm growing out.
I've heard (but not experienced) they have a bit of scat scent.
