Either my peonies are not scented or my sniffer is out of order. Maybe PlantFiles would indicate which ones have the most fragrance. You could always pose your question on the Peony Forum. They are an enthusiastic group and I think they'd have the answer for you.

The peonies will expand and so will the clematis, hence you'll have major root competition. If you select any herbaceous peony it will have to be cut to the ground in the fall so select a clematis that is class/group/type 3.

There are many nice white clematises. Among them are Candida Lanuginosa (can take shade), Lemon Chiffon (yellow center), then the class 1 montana Grandiflora with almost Dogwood type flowers in huge abundance. I'm sure others will see your post and state their favorite white clem's.
