A more delicate, wispy orchid is the fragrant orchid, a plant of the chalk downs, also with simple-faced flowers but with a powerful sweet scent.

On downland the fragrant orchid, which also has unspotted leaves, has its pink flowers more loosely arranged at the top and has a sweet scent.

We pass orange trees in blossom, heady with sweet scent.

Another abundant grass is sweet vernal grass, which is shorter and has a rougher, more tufty spike, but is distinguished by its sweet scent.

I shook in some bubble bath powder and watched the water turn aqua, the sweet scent circling around me like smoke.
