I love the smells of so many flowers, it's hard to narrow it down! :) But if I had to pick just a few, here are my favorites -- in alphabetical order, since I can't decide which is #1...
Carnation, citrus blossoms, four o'clock, freesia, honeysuckle, osmanthus (a.k.a. "sweet olive"), peach/plum blossoms, rose, sweetpea and violet.
What are YOUR faves? :)

WOW! :D It's amazing how many folks like gardenia. I have to say that gardenia is one of the few flowers whose fragrance I don't care for much. The scent is not particularly pleasant to me, and there's too much of it!
But that's OK. :) We all like different things. My best friend loves gardenia, but I didn't realize it was so popular with so many other folks too!

Easter Lily (called, I think, Resurrection Lily); Red Peony; Citrus (Orange and Lemon); Star Jasmine; Honeysuckle; Purple Lilacs; Red Lilacs; Carnation; Carnation Pinks (smell like cloves); Apricot colored Roses; Yellow Freesia; Dark Red Roses; Sweet Pea...lots more that I can't think of right now. But what a great question!
Enjoyed this question very much. It was like taking a short walk down a garden path right after a summer rain when everything smells nice. Like a greenhouse.

Don't have a particular favourite, I'm just constantly pleasantly surprised by the different fragrances of some plants and shrubs as I pass them.
