I have one & it smells great to me but my wife can't smell it at all, it's
genetic I think.

I've got two Magnolia Stellata and they don't smell at all!

According to my books, M. Stellata _is_ fragrant. But I don't have
one, so I've no direct experience.

I saw a beauty in a nursery today, covered in flowers, so in the name
of urg I had a sniff, and yes, they were deliciously fragrant.
Unfortunately, the plant was reserved for someone :-(
