Night scented stock.
I grew it every year in the backyard garden I made in Church.
The smell overpowered the the smells that came over the yard wall from next door, where two dogs lived who never went for walkies

Ps I had a lilac tree too but that smell didn't last more than a few weeks. I used to sit under it when in bloom and just breathe in the gorgeous aroma.

When we were engaged my mother in law to be used to dose my fiance with Liqufruta for a cold.

In those days it wasn't custom to use garlic, so I recall it smelt foul on his breath.
What a passion killer that was.
