It seems to have the stem and leaves of a spray carnation, and yet the petals are smooth edged and rounded. It is multi flowered per stem and each flower is full bloomed (my particular favorite is pale pink in color). Plus, it has a subtle sweet smell to it.

that's a toughie. is it a cut flower?
I could think of a couple that might have the leaf configuration of carnations, but they are all in the dianthus family. Smooth petals could be one of a hundred daisies or lillies.
most flowers have a sweet scent..
could it be astromeria or osteospermum?
your question is well phrased and descriptive, but there are SO many possibilities.. sorry not to be more helpful.

Hi, you need the Royal Horticultural society web site, go for the plant ident section, Best if you can afford to joint first but they are not mean especially if it is a common plant. The fee is about £40 per year but you will be surprised what you can find there. I use it all the time. You could also try your local gardening club or your neighbours. Its a way to get to know them. PS Take a photograph they may be out of season when you find an answer so you will have something to compare with the answer.

You do get smooth-edged carnations as well as those that are 'pinked' (jagged). It is, in all probability either a Pink or a Carnation.

Wow, that's a tough one. Are they a common garden plant or are you talking about one you'd order from the florist. The only thing I can think of is Snapdragon--that would be a garden plant. I'd do a web search of flower images.

Maybe Pink Dianthus? It is in the carnation family.
