We Found the Best "Everyday" Plants That Have the Most MAGICAL Scents

This evergreen shrub may not be on your radar, but it should be! Its pinkish-white blooms emit a bright scent known for its lingering qualities. We love it in containers near an entryway or tucked in a small garden.

Just gently brushing up against rosemary releases its wonderful aroma, leaving the air fresher. Its deep green hue gives it an evergreen quality. Rosemary is one of our favorite fragrant plants for window boxes, too. Mint is another herbaceous plant that smells fresh, and bonus: Both rosemary and mint can be used for cooking.

Synonymous with spring, hyacinth’s aroma is for lovers of intense floral scents. These cone-shaped blooms pack quite the punch—a little goes a long way!

Gardenias are a favorite for the garden, but we love the idea of bringing their intoxicating fragrance to the front door or patio. A potted topiary is a tidy alternative to the typical shrub.

With its tiny purple flowers and soothing scent, this perennial is easy to grow and loves the summer heat. Plant in a container with sage or gray-colored plants, or line a walkway with this favorite border plant.

Star jasmine is a fast-growing vine with tiny white star-shaped flowers that is a wonderfully fragrant addition to patios and entryways alike.

Available in a rainbow variety of hues, freesias are known for their gentle, not overpowering, scent that is often described as fruity with citrusy undertones (many people think they smell like Froot Loops!).

This plant, with its tight clusters of flowers, sits low to the ground, making it a good option for pots and to use as a border flower.
