To me the scent is fresh and clean and like sweet oranges. It's really nice. When my hubby sniffs it he usually smiles and says, "Ahhh...all is right in the world". LOL

I have a poor sense of smell and I can smell it easily. I think you'll like it.

I also have a Philadelphus x virginalis Dwarf Minnesota Snowflake that I put in last year from Greer.

Their shipping costs are a little higher. It's a nice plant but didn't flower much this year. I'm guessing it'll take a few years to settle in. It also has that wonderful scent. The leaves are smaller but don't have the varigation. It has a very nice form and I'd like it even if it didn't flower. The flowers are more ruffly (double?).
