Fragrance - yes - I would not go quite so far as to say perfume, but yes, fragrance.
There are about 5 or 6 of these hybrids, Eastern Cloud varieties, Eastern Beauty, Nagalux and so on, said to have been bred in Japan, which one of the European dealers imported and sold - I have them all, and love them all - but I fear you won't be able to get them ( at least not easily) because of CITES, unless of course a US dealer has also got them.
As to the species , which I am collecting, there are endless varieties of some of the nicer ones - e.g. goeringii I have about three kinds now and a couple of sinense varieties too. However there is a Chinese nursery which is an excellent source for the species , Wenquing ( Mrs H) is very knowledgeable - I have met her at a few shows around Europe and in South Africa too, and I think she does visit USA - if you don't know her nursery - I can pm details to you.
