You’re making me want to plant one lol! I’ve never got the chance to smell Sarcoccoca before. Daphne odora is heavenly to me, so I’m sure this plant would be even more amazing in the winter.

You should look for an Edgeworthia chrysantha, that species trumps the smell of Sarcococca. It also has a longer flowering period. In the Netherlands from January to March/April.
