For scented annuals try stocks these fill the summer evening air with very
sweet scent.
theres also the old favourite sweet peas, or asiatic or oriental lillies go
for scented varieties.

or for perennials try some varieties of honeysuckle which climb and gring
the scent to you. for bush plants try lemon balm near paths giving lemon
scent when brushed against, but this can be invasive if given half a chance
also check RHS website http://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/plantfinder.asp
whic i believe lets you search for scented plants

I'm new to gardening, and working out lots of things by trial and error.
Got a lovely mini-rose in bloom, but it doesn't compare to the fragrances
given off by a climbing variety that I also have (that recently I've need
to prune back). I live in a built up area and would like plants and
flowers that really give off a scent. I know it's a lot to do with oils,
wind and heat etc. and I'll be adding to the lavendars I've put by the
pathway next year. With the lavendars, I've been able to get the scent,
but, I do need to crouch down - the scent doesn't seem to "hang" as I walk
past.

I've got colours and design that is ever changing, but I want to add to
that with a full sensory experience, so I'm into strong, not light
fragrances.

Suggestions?
