This plant maintains very well indoors during the cold winter months given an east or west window. Place it outdoors during the summer and you will be rewarded with intermittent periods of bloom. The scent is delicate and sweet, yet it travels on the air in a strange and enchanting way. People often notice the fragrance and drive themselves nuts trying to figure out where it is coming from. It is not overpowering, yet it is definitely there, sending out a wafting delicate sweetness which will drive you insane in a very good way. I've never met a person who does not instantly adore the fragrance of Aglaia odorata. It's really that good!

Name:Ispahan Email: Location: Homepage: Zone: 10 Nov 2009, 12:53 PM	To my nose, Aglaia odorata definitely has a very strong and beautiful scent. It varies in intensity depending on humidity or other unknown factors and sometimes can take you by surprise and waft a considerable distance. If you cannot smell it, it might be due to a problem with your sense of smell (allergies, sinusitis, genetic factors, etc.). This plant has one of the most delicate and refined floral odors I know.
