What is wrong with me???

I've got a S hookeriana 'humilis' flowering well in a pot and can detect
no scent whatsoever.

I've got the same one in the garden and the scent does seem to be
noticeable sometimes but not others. Might it depend on air temperature or
something? I was getting a lovely whiff of it from at least twelve feet
away a few days ago, before all the snow.

Another thing is that men seem less able to detect some scents than women.
I always enjoy the fresh scent when walking by some nearby balsam poplars
in spring or autumn, but my Other Half can't smell them at all.
