I'd sniff a Choisya in flower before buying to make sure you like it - I bought one years ago without knowing what the flowers were like & had to keep it permanently pruned back till I got rid of it as I found I couldn't stand the scent!!! :D

I love the orangey fragrance.
S'pose a smell can't be everyone's cup of tea. :)

 I think it can be an aquired taste. I think it smells like furniture polish. I like it because of the evergreen leaves.
