I'm planning ahead for winter and I fancy growing something highly scented
in a large pot by the front door (south facing, windy, open to the
elements). Out of these choices, which is best for a pot?

Lonicera Purpusii - (Winter Flowering Honeysuckle)
Hamamelis Mollis - (Chinese Witch Hazel)
Chimonanthus Praecox - (Christmas Box)

Any other suggestions?

Definitely Sarcococca and Daphne odora (or D. bholua in the garden if you
have the space.) I thought it was Sarcococca that was known as Christmas
Box but perhaps it's different in different areas?
