Possibly Heritage and Heirloom seeds?
Sounds like they could have come from Pennard Plants in East Pennard,
Somerset. They specialise in this type of thing and who packet their seeds
as you describe. After they spoke to our local garden club in N. Dorset in
spring, I bought a few packets of heirloom veg seeds (all did well) as
well as sweet pea seeds. They were/are superb and the fragrance is
delicious. My problem is I can't recall which ones I bought but I suspect
they will know when I chat with them.

Note: if you go through the home page of the site, follow this route:
All Categories/Heritage Seed Collection (Vegetable & Flowers/Flowers-Sweet
Peas. After that you have the choice of Heritage Grandiflora or Spencer
Sweet Peas ... both have a number of types and all are fragrant.
Hope this helps.
