Narcissus and other bulbs...?

| What bulbs is everyone growing here for fragrant flowers? Are there any flower bulbs that you recommend for a splendid fragrance?
I am curious about the sweet scented Narcissus tazetta hybrids. Supposedly, the foul smelling hybrids come from Narcissus papyraceus. But Tazetta hybrids tend to smell sweet.
I have my eyes on Narcissus 'Erlicheer' and 'Tahiti' which I have read smells sweet and I cannot find any negative comments about them. Can anyone vouch for that?

| Hyacinths are the most strongly scented bulbs I grow. I do grow many fragrant Narcissus but they require getting right down to the flower to smell them and Hyacinths don't. I don't find any Narcissus foul smelling. I love paperwhites but can't have them in the house because my husband is sensitive to all fragrances. I was a florist for twenty years and enjoyed them every winter. |
