I have only had four of my hoyas bloom so I can only judge from them. I agree whole heartedly though that scent is very subjective as I am particularly sensitive to things that others don't even notice!

So to me....... h aff Finlaysonii was very pungent and not pleasing at night but light and pleasant during the day. H blashernazie had no scent what so ever and h. verticillata was wonderfully floral, strong and pleasing! I have a couple of small blooms on h. diversifolia right now and they smell very nice up close. If it was a full umbel at once I think it would be great.

I can't wait to smell h. motoskei....chocolate???
