>Here in the south, tea olive --osmanthus--is a favorite situated near windows and doors. Fragrance is strong and wonderful; tolerates part shade to dappled shade and is very low maintenance.
>Native azaleas smell heavenly, like jasmine in the spring;
>Confederate jasmine is happy in shade or part shade and smells like jasmine in the spring;
>Lindera benzoin--spice bush--does well in partial shade or bright shade, and also colors prettily in the fall.Also Calycanthus floridus.
>lily of the valley makes a beautiful carpet and scent is lovely
>privet makes a nice hedge and very fragrant blooms in spring...does well in shade.
>Mahonia--oregon grape holly--does VERY well in woodland shade and flowers are nicely scented.
>Lunaria does well in heavy shade and is relative of honesty plant, with scented blooms.
>Clerodendrum--glory bower--sweetly scented flowers in summer
>Daphne burkwoodii--strongly scented blooms.

hope this helps.
