    Hi, blue. Most of the Honeysuckles are fragrant except the orange/red Lonicera sempervirens and the L beckrotti.

    The L americana has strongly perfumed yellow flowers flushed purple, the L caprifolium has highly scented yellow flowers tinted with pink on the outside. The most common one, L japonica has fragrant white flowers ageing yellow or sometimes purple. The L periclymenum (the common Woodbine) is a favourite for its scented flowers and is evergreen, it has white and cream sometimes pink and cream flowers.

    Guess that gives you something to think about! [​IMG]
