When it's flowering, that is. When it's ripening it's quite another
matter.

By field beans do you mean broad
beans? I know some beans smell heavenly but don't know which.

They look very much like broad beans, but are grown for fodder (and
a high-protein source alternative to GM soya). The plants are left
'till the pods are black, which IMO gives a very unsightly crop.
On a hot day, when the flowers are out, and a slight breeze in the
right direction, there's a really heady smell.
