I grow some buddleias also, but these smell quite different and more like my lilac soaps and lotion (purchased in a vain attempt to try to recapture my midwest childhood experience)-LOL

Here's another photo of a bouquet of both Lilac Blue Skies and Angel White with Rose Madame Alfred Carriere. I took the photo outside, but as I type this they are sitting on a table about 10 feet away and I can smell them quite well.

Sue: I checked my notes in my garden log books and it looks like the blooms last about 2 -3 weeks. At least I have notes about needing to shape/prune the bushes the last week in April, so the blooms must be faded and done by then.
