I bought it last season ('13) It bloomed 1st for me this year. I call it faint/medium scent and color fades fast. Hope this helps and I am sure it depends where you are???? roxanne

Thanks for the info. I'm still debating whether to get it. I live in Anaheim, CA. The weather here is mainly hot and dry lately especially this summer. Most of my plumerias are fragrant in the morning before the dry, searing afternoon heat evaporates all the perfume.

phoebe I have a jj Desert Sunrise and I agree with rox that the scent is faint to medium at best...but the scent is nice, and different from other plumeria that I have sniffed. It smells to me like sunscreen, not the coconut suntan lotion that Kauka Wilder smells like, but like coppertone...it is not chemically smelling but has the same aromatic notes as coppertone.

Scent is a big factor for me and one (among many others) that JJ doesn't list in his 'fragrant' section that has amazing fragrance is his shooting star....very cool spider shape blooms with great variety to color and an intoxicating scent! Hope this helps!

Thanks for your input. I actually went to Jungle Jack's the other day and checked it out for myself. The liked the smell really tropical but too faint for me. I also checked out Scentsational which everyone raved about but it wasn't scent for me - too jasmine like, I prefer a more traditional plumeria scent. I ended up going with Atlantis which is absolutely incredible. Wonderful coloring, large clusters of blooms and very good scent. Its definitely underrated.
