I thought it was pretty in a neighbor’s garden as we walked to the park.
When I researched it, the reports on the smell ranged from slight skunk-like, musty, strong- like citronella – I didn’t stick my nose in the blossom so didn’t notice any scent.

The scent of Hyacinth smells like Easter to me. I wouldn’t want to wear it as a perfume, though.
