No apology needed - just realized my comment about the heavenly scent was on the other Goumi thread: Goumi—am I missing out? - #38 by Gkight
I would’ve agreed with you and assumed “fragrant” would always be positive. Some smells don’t illicit unanimous opinions, though. Some of my fig bushes have a “cat pee” odor which I find distinctly unpleasant, but my wife can’t smell it at all (thankfully). Fortunately they’re all outside.
@Chills very interesting that none of you smell Elaeagnus flowers - in the evenings when they’re at their peak I can smell my goumi bushes from 100 ft away, but in the middle of the day they hardly smell at all.
