Not myrrh. A little tea-ish. Not as fragrant as many other Austins, but I love its colors. For me, it runs in shades of apricot to yellow all on the same bloom as it ages. I call it my kaleidoscope rose.

Crashed - grrrr. Let's try this again. I, too, have several O.Fragrans that don't appear to be fragrant. Mine are over 3' tall now and took rooted to pull up. Besides, I wouldn't want to, just in case that when they start blooming that they are fragrant. Background: When I took my Master Gardener class 2 years ago, I asked about the 4 O. Fragrans that I have. They had started blooming and I was starting to get concerned. I asked about their fragrance. The instructor that day (from the best horicultural college we have here in Texas - Texas A&M), said that there is ONE variety that is NOT fragrant. It made me so mad that I wanted to come home and rip them up. Of course, you know they take a VERY long time to grow. So, I decided to wait and see... I just saw some blooms on one, but couldn't smell a thing. I'm wondering... shouldn't it have been detectable or does it take a profussion of blooms? I'll leave them, but I'm not happy. LIke you, I have ordered one, O. Fudingzhu, from Nurcar, just before you did. But, I haven't seen any blooms or smelled the fragrance yet. Looks like we might both be frustrated. Oh well, at least, we have the guaranteed one from Nurcar. Xtal

You could spritz wet clothes with "linen spray" which you can purchase or make yourself (see link below). I make sachets with lavender buds to scent our sheets. I make a very primitive "sachet", which is 1 cup of dried lavender buds (from my garden) poured into an old sock (make sure there are not any holes in the sock) and tie the top into a knot. These will scent clothes dried in the dryer several times. You can add essential oils to the dried lavender buds to renew them and reuse them. Once the lavender scent is gone, remove the buds from the sock, place them in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and add any scent you like, using essential oils, and allow it be absorbed in the jar with the lid on. Just don't over do it or you'll have oils penetrating your clothing. I dry our clothes on a line, but I like to toss the sheets in the dryer with a lavender sachet for a few minutes before I fold them, or use them for making the bed. -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: Homemade Linen Spray

Please remember that "fragrance free " and "unscented " mean different things as far as labeling goes. If you are truly allergic or sensitive to chemicals, it is very important to know the difference. "Fragrance Free " products do not have added scent chemicals, period. They are also free of ingredients that have an unpleasant smell. "Unscented " things have chemicals added to them to MASK unpleasant odors. The most common of these masking chemicals is a known endochrin system (hormone) disrupter. Unscented products can make sensitive people sick. Febreze, for example, which is loaded with scents AND chemical odor maskers, is outright dangerous for a certain population to which I belong. :-( I am talking about the terminology on the labels. "Fragrance Free " is the way to go in order to avoid truly toxic chemicals. I've developed a serious chemical sensitivity, so have learned a fair amount about the worst household and workplace culprits. It's horrifying what we are exposed to on a daily basis.
