| Does anyone have experience grow this? I just acquired one and am curious to know if the fragrance is similar to that of Cestrum nocturnum (Night Blooming Jasmine) which is very heavy and powerful. |

| I've never smelled it in person, but I've read that it's less heavy and rank than nocturnum, which to my nose is fine at a distance but pretty rank up close. Would love to hear other first-nose experiences! Jim |

| I have experienced both and I opine that parquii has a more pleasant fragrance. nocturnum is perhaps a little more powerful (read overwhelming) but not as pleasant; not the sort of thing you would plant under an open window. I also enjoyed the yellow tint of parquii flowers. |
