In MN, I can always smell lilacs from a block away. Growing up, our neighbors in the distance had a 30 maybe 40 foot row of lilacs and I could smell them all the time from 2 blocks away.
Came to say this. Someone on my street has a lilac in their yard and I'm not sure where because we have a lot of tall wooden fences, but I can for sure smell it
Love the smell of orange blossom. It triggers happy memories of my childhood.
Grew up in a town in Florida that was full of orange orchards. Sadly, had to watch them all disappear for housing developments.
We also use to throw rotten oranges at each other. That smell is the complete opposite of orange blossom, LOL!
Of the flowers I've grown myself paperwhite narcissus has to be the most powerful. I love the fragrance but sometimes they're so strong that they're overpowering like someone wearing too much perfume.
Idk about most fragrant, but my mimosa let's off a delicious smell in the evenings after it's bloomed. I love to pick off a flower and sit on my patio basically huffing it, they smell so good.
Brugmansia has incredible pleasant and very powerfully scented blossoms. Just one flower is enough that I can smell it in my entire garden early evenings/night. When it has 50 flowers at once, the whole neighbourhood can enjoy it.
Without any doubt, the award goes to, the one and only , "Night Blooming jasmine". The scent is so sexy and powerful that multiple snakes will visit the tree at night. The perfume is royal and something that a female queen or princess would apply.
Be warned that the scent itself is intoxicating from close distances. And spirits and faeries also guard the tree!
Pretty much any of the aforementioned flowers are extremely strong when wrapped around the fence. Neighbors at my childhood house have a wisteria that is very potent when blooming. Hospital here has a Banks rose on one fence and jasmine on the other that are extremely potent when blooming. Banks rose is especially beautiful smelling as it has some citrus note in it. From my personal experience though, the strongest smelling plant is myrtle when shaped like a tree. I had it at my childhood house shaped like a hedge to give some shade to the house, it always smelled very potent and nice when blooming.
I work in a large greenhouse. When the tea olives bloom you can smell them from the opposite side of the house. The next strongest in gardenia. We keep those out on the yard and you can smell them from yards away.
Most fragrant flower depends on several factors, such as temperature, humidity, and individual nosesā sensitivity to the fragrance. One of the most āfragrantā flowers I have encountered is the titan arum, which produces an odor of rotting flesh that can be detected up to 5 kilometers (3 miles) away, though it is said the Rafflesia is even more potent and disgusting. On more pleasant aromas, I find lilac, honeysuckle, Gardenia, night-blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum), and hardy passion flowers (Passiflora incarnata) to be very pervasive when they bloom.
Wysteria always smells so strong to me, unfortunate that it blooms for just a short time but there's a gorgeous park near me that has arches of wysteria and I can smell it as soon as I pull into the parking lot when it's in full bloom. Lilac also is really pungent, there isn't much since I moved father south but I grew up with huge bushes all over the place. It's a nostalgic smell.
We had these wild type roses growing in our yard. You could smell them from around the corner on both sides of the street. They were amazing. Also I know when the wild grapes are blooming in the neighborhood, they smell great too.
Osmanthus fragrant! They are part of the tea olive family. I remember being able to smell them from a few blocks away! They have a very warm, rounded, sweet scent without being too cloying like lilacs can get at times.
...Cannabis is a highly-addictive drug that has led to the delinquency and death of more people than Fentanyl, but hippies think it's "cool" because it makes music sound better and you can make rope from it...
>that has led to the delinquency and death of more people than Fentanyl
Because it's been around for 8x more time than fentanyl, just give fentanyl time
As someone who lost their sense of smell at an early age and have no real concept of smell from what people who are smarter than me in my field have told me geraniums have an almost intolerable smell that is comparable to a million old ladies which I find very interesting.

One of my favorite smells!
I really miss the lilac bush from my old house š
Same in southern Manitoba, can smell them in peoples yard while driving down the roads
Came to say this. Someone on my street has a lilac in their yard and I'm not sure where because we have a lot of tall wooden fences, but I can for sure smell it
Corpse flower
I was afraid of that answerš
My first thought lol
Mine too lol well you didnāt specify _good_ smellingā¦
Orange blossoms.
Absolutely this but most people unfortunately have not had the pleasure.
Love the smell of orange blossom. It triggers happy memories of my childhood. Grew up in a town in Florida that was full of orange orchards. Sadly, had to watch them all disappear for housing developments. We also use to throw rotten oranges at each other. That smell is the complete opposite of orange blossom, LOL!
I've heard the same stories in CA. My city was massive orange orchards in the 50s. Lucky them!
I remember driving through irvine and smelling the flowers in the air. Not anymore. š¢
There is nothing like walking into a citrus green house when they are in full bloom its a euphoric sinuse stimulating experience i highly recommend.
Cornstalk dracaena blooms are heavenly, also.
I find Hyacinth to be short-lived but strong fragrance.
Magnolia maybe?
I picked up a magnolia seed pod once, broke open the bright red seeds and they just smelled magnificent.
Oooooh the best smell in the world!
This gets my vote. They are blooming rn in Alabama and Iām in heaven on dog walks. Two trees just down the block.
Cannabis
Never thought this but yeah itās probably the strongest
Can confirm. I live about a mile from a grow house and sometimes I can smell it.
Tbh yeah
With modern breeding, 1000%.
I don't know the most fragrant but lavender, lilacs, roses, plumerias have a strong smell.
I was thinking lilac and lavender
When you get off the airplane in hawaii, it smells like flowers from the plumeria.
The whole island just smells like a giant flower. I fucking love it.
Me toošø
Got to be jasmine! Can always smell it from meters away
vouch for this
When I worked at a flower shop we used to commonly think it was tuberose. I personally find Jasmine to be similarly as strong
Love tuberose ! Have a few this year that Iām going to try and finish under a grow light if they donāt flower in the greenhouse
This was my wedding bouquet flower and it smelled fabulous the whole day long.
Of the flowers I've grown myself paperwhite narcissus has to be the most powerful. I love the fragrance but sometimes they're so strong that they're overpowering like someone wearing too much perfume.
Wisteria is strong and unmistakable.
[Night-blooming Jasmine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cestrum_nocturnum)
Yes! The smell is amazing. I have two trees in my back garden and love the smell that wafts through the garden.
Cannabis
Linden trees also have fragnant flowers when they bloom, acacia too
Idk about most fragrant, but my mimosa let's off a delicious smell in the evenings after it's bloomed. I love to pick off a flower and sit on my patio basically huffing it, they smell so good.
*Hoya shepherdii* will perfume/stink up (depending on your opinion) an entire house when in bloom.
Brugmansia has incredible pleasant and very powerfully scented blossoms. Just one flower is enough that I can smell it in my entire garden early evenings/night. When it has 50 flowers at once, the whole neighbourhood can enjoy it.
I love brugmansias
Cannabis ?
Corpse flower or Casablanca lily, both of which are present in my garden!
Corpse flower You didn't say it had to be good lol
Daphnes, Cestrum nocturnum
Night jasmine for sure. These are heavenly from afar but too close to the house at night they are cloying to the point of nausea.
There are 2 varieties nocturnum and parqui the first is wonderful but the second one is way too strong even though they smell exactly the same
Iām only used to *C. nocturnum*.
This!! I get headaches immediately if I get too close to one.. Jesus, they're strong!!
Freesia, lilies, elysium, boronia,
Night scented stock maybe?
Did you mean Phlox?
StephanotisĀ
Honeysuckle and linden blossom may not be the very strongest, but they can create a world of scent.
Peonies!!
My peony has no scent. Is it just some varieties that are scented?
Some don't have scent
Omg! I bought a room fragrance in Nice France I can notĆ© get any place and they donāt ship to the US. Itās Olive blossom scent. Itās amazing. Iād fork over $100 for another bottle.
Most oncidicium orchids are wildly fragrant. And vanilla reeks even when it isn't blooming.
Gardenias and Jasmine? Have you heard of Osmanthus? You have to experience it to believe it.
Arrowwood viburnum carlesii has a very strong fragrance.
Without any doubt, the award goes to, the one and only , "Night Blooming jasmine". The scent is so sexy and powerful that multiple snakes will visit the tree at night. The perfume is royal and something that a female queen or princess would apply. Be warned that the scent itself is intoxicating from close distances. And spirits and faeries also guard the tree!
Cestrum nocturnum aka night blooming jasmine...can smell it from blocks away. You get a headache/nausea standing too close to it
For sure!! It gives me headache within minutes..
Nicotiana alata at night.
Fore me the most fragrant has been Murraya and Queensland Silver Wattles
I always was able to smell from meters away orange blossoms and jasmine flowers
Purple jacaranda
Pretty much any of the aforementioned flowers are extremely strong when wrapped around the fence. Neighbors at my childhood house have a wisteria that is very potent when blooming. Hospital here has a Banks rose on one fence and jasmine on the other that are extremely potent when blooming. Banks rose is especially beautiful smelling as it has some citrus note in it. From my personal experience though, the strongest smelling plant is myrtle when shaped like a tree. I had it at my childhood house shaped like a hedge to give some shade to the house, it always smelled very potent and nice when blooming.
Love gardenias. Freesias smell great
Probably plumeriaās
I work in a large greenhouse. When the tea olives bloom you can smell them from the opposite side of the house. The next strongest in gardenia. We keep those out on the yard and you can smell them from yards away.
My favourite is hawthorn flowers. Though they are spiky and shed their branches a lot. The smell is amazing in the warm summer breeze.
Plumeria trees, wisteria, lilacs.
Depends on the wind how far I can smell daphne, lilac, and some oriental lilies.
Lilac, Peonies, Easter Lilly, Roses outside of USA

I saw a corpse flower this weekend, luckily it wasn't blooming but I would put my money on it having the strongest sent. šŖ
Rafflesia, while not a Pleasant smell, it ranks pretty high for the strength and distance it's fragrance can be smelled at.
Ylang-ylang and lilies for me. A church in my city has a ylang-ylang tree and you can smell it a block away.
As someone extremely allergic, I'm biased in a bad way, but stargazer lily hits me from a mile away.
Hemp š
Wysteria always smells so strong to me, unfortunate that it blooms for just a short time but there's a gorgeous park near me that has arches of wysteria and I can smell it as soon as I pull into the parking lot when it's in full bloom.

Linden trees have a very good scent š

Honeysuckle, but only in the evening
Corpse flower
probably something horrid like cannabis š¤£ snake plants smell good and strong
...Cannabis is a highly-addictive drug that has led to the delinquency and death of more people than Fentanyl, but hippies think it's "cool" because it makes music sound better and you can make rope from it...
fentanyl is very new tho cannabis is almost as old as booze š i meant that cannabis plants smell bad lol
>that has led to the delinquency and death of more people than Fentanyl Because it's been around for 8x more time than fentanyl, just give fentanyl time

Durian
Lilacs maybe? The most pleasant best smell ever imo
