What do tulips smell like?

Fragrance is a subjective thing. What you pick up I may never even notice, or I may think it smells horrible. With so many varieties of daffodils, there is a wide range of fragrances from the "punch you in the face" perfume of the Paperwhite to no scent at all. You might say that they generally have the smell of "spring", and if you grew up with daffodils in a home garden, you have an idea of what that means.

Narcissus (daffodils) were used in ancient Roman perfumes and French medival perfumes. Today the French still use the scented oils for much of their floral perfume producton. For modern scents, you can find daffodils in "Eternity" by Calvin Klein, "First" by Van Cleef & Arpels, and "Gucci Rush 2".
