An unusual scent on the air - please help me to identify it.
We were in a NT garden two days ago which has a pretty woodland area on acid soil. There were many azaleas and rhodendrons and many specimen trees. The scent on the air was like burnt toffee / honey and we could not find a plant that seemed to have that scent. I wondered if it came from the pine trees but my husband said it didn't!!
Any ideas please?

or maybe my favourite, Azalea Luteum, (or Rhododendron Luteum as it is now called for some reason). I think it's always yellow, and looks really nice in autumn.

I think it is very likely to be a yellow Azalea; which has a powerful smell, which is carried a long way in the air.
