so there is a scent, it has gotten a little stronger, but you still have to purposefully smell the flowers to get it. kind of like squirt soda maybe. i would still like to get the white version someday, but then i'd get one of these in any color they come in. i'm trying to get a nice collection of vandas that can take the cool winter weather here, and this one was at the top of the list, and never thought i'd get one. glad someone thought to remake this cross. now if only i can get someone to redo darwinara blue charm for me...
