There are many fragrant flowering trees, some bloom during the day and some bloom when night falls.
Those that bloom at night have a more intense, wafting fragrance, possibly because the darkness and cooler temperatures keep the scent from dissipating quickly.
Night blooming fragrant trees are nice because many people who work during the day have the opportunity to enjoy them during the evening, night and early morning hours.
Plant the trees in a spot where the natural flow of the wind will blow the fragrance towards your home.
