Japanese viburnum, which is in bloom now, has a strong, beatiful scent.

Viburum x bodnantense flowers profusely all winter and the scent is gorgeous.

For shade, I'd go for Sarcocca confusa (or S. hookeriana), which is evergreen and produces tiny highly scented flowers.

Choisya ternata 'Aztec Pearl' is a good one - evergreen with white flowers for full sun.

Honeysuckle is of course an old favourite and also roses.

Lonicera purpurea is another one for winter flowers that are highly scented.

Hope this is enough to be going on with?!

Old-fashioned Pinks! (Perennial Dianthus) There are lots of different colours. Perovskia (Russian Sage) has a lovely scent from the leaves and beautiful tall blue spires of flowers in summer.

Pinks are Dianthus - but make sure that you get the perennial sort as there are also annuals which don't have the same scent and are planted as bedding plants. Good names to look for are 'Mrs Sinkins', 'Doris', 'Gran's Favourite', 'Dad's Favourite', 'London Delight' and lots more! If you ask anyone, , ask for 'Old-fashioned' or 'Clove Pinks' Hope this helps.
