Hands sounds like BP. He thinks all flowers should smell nice.
Check around the nursery, but also check out what your neighbors plant.
My Favorite Smell-gooders:
Lavender
Dianthus (pinks)
Nicociana (Flowering tobacco)
Heliotrope (smells like vanilla)

not all flowers smell nice?
Cool! Thanks!!
I like Alysum,honeysuckle and Heliotrope too the smell of lavender makes me feel ill :(
Respighi,
Believe it or not, no. Not all flowers have a scent. And some pretty flowers smell GROSS (cleome)
It depends on how/what pollinates them.
Meme,
I agree about the honeysuckle--love the scent--, but her in Indiana it's classified as a noxious weed and it spreads where you don't want it to spread (kind of like blu's ass.)
i love the smell of lilacs and have a bush out in the back yard. i love lavender too and have a plant that is struggling to make a comeback.
so what the hell pollinates cleome emma? flies perhaps, does it smell shitty?
I find flowers boring precisely because I can't smell them.
Kath -- But they look pretty!
