(Honeysuckle)Lonicera Heckrotti Fragrance?

Has anyone had the chance to compare the Heckrotti varieties for their fragrance?

There is 'Gold Flame'...'Pink Lemonade'...and others.

I have two types,they grow in the same,non invasive habit and have similar foliage.They both flower early summer heavily and then more sporatic,then one stops flowering while the other flowers into November.Since they are planted on the same trellis,it's a bit tough to tell which or both are fragrant.

The one that flowers until November looks like this:pink/purple flowers.It has a distinct oval leaf.

The other has more of a yellow colored flower.This is the one I suspect is very fragrant.It fills the entire yard with sweetness.

They are both cultivars and are vigorous but restrained in growth.I highly recommend both,they are no fuss and reliable.

Can anyone guide me toward honeysuckles that are fragrant and have a similar manner of growth?
