This just opened and is not fully developed so give it a day or two. It only produced 1 flower and this is its first flowering. As of right now, I like the original classic better but I will wait. The smell has not got to the stereotypical strong smell but it is getting there. The plant is smaller than my sesquipedale but is not worth it to me at its current state. The sesqu produced 3 giant flowers on not that much bigger plant on its first bloom and this one is only giving one flower. However it has got a permanent spot as of right now and I like the plant itself. It reminds me a lot of my angracium leonis in bloom right now just bigger.

However, one thing about having the other two in bloom is that the smell is really good with the combination of them all. It really balances out and is a smell all on its own. The sesquipedale does kinda make me feel nauseous if I stay in the living room too long: yep its time for bed and to shut my door 😂
 
Sorry, I have not grown this particular hybrid but with eburneum, sesquipedale and magdalenae, it takes a few days for the scent to develop. If memory serves, they are far more fragrant at night. Pollinator being night flying moths primarily.
It should bloom better as it matures with more sunlight.
