Different Jasmine Fragrances

Hi all,

I was shopping for some jasmines and have two questions about fragrance.

I read through the "Most fragrant Jasmine" thread and noticed several people prefer 'Belle of India' among the Sambac varieties. I have both 'Grand Duke' and 'Maid of Orleans' so am familiar with those. In what way does 'Belle of India' differ from the other Sambacs that would make some prefer it?

Also, has anyone grown and/or sniffed Jasminum molle? One site describes its scent as "heavy gardenialike". Can anyone else chime in and describe the 'molle' scent in comparison to the Sambacs?

Thanks!
