I know what you mean about the fragrance. :-)
I recognize the plant and bloom. They have one in the hospital dining
room where I work and it bloomed about 3 years ago.

The smell is divine and it scented the entire room!

Once many moons ago one bloomed in the room just outside our bedroom.
I had to remome it to a far distant place so that we could sleep.
After too much of that smell it becomes sick sweet smelling. Too much
sweet is not good sometimes.
