I decided to make this post after reading of people being disappointed with the lack of fragrance in the blooms of certain citrus varieties. Posts which I've come across mentioned Buddha's Hand and Mexican/Key lime. Does it then follow that Etrog, being a relative of Buddha's Hand, also falls into this category? My Kaffir lime has very little scent. Eustis limequat is also on the low side.

So, in your experience, which varieties have little or no scent in their flowers?

Citrus medica L. "Corsican" : white flowers, and no scent. Sad

I've often seen written that Poncirus trifoliata flowers are fragrant - they don't smell at all to me!
