In my part of Australia we are well served with fragrant orchids. The best of them being Dendrobium speciosum and a walk through the bush, usually along a rocky escarpment in mid-September, is a delight, as the perfume is obvious well before the plants are visible. Also attending an orchid show at that time, in a hall rather than a large shopping centre, provides those attending with something to remember for all time and be sure to wind down the windows in the vehicle transporting those species to the show or you will be in danger of suffocating from the concentration of that beautiful odour.
