I like Jasmin but I find it a little sickly. Can anyone recommend anything else/
Thanks in anticipation

Honeysuckle's fine but but you'll only get flowers for a few weeks and seeing as it'll be in a tub, you might not get many at all if you don't keep up with watering and feeding.
I have a lovely Trachelospermum jasminoides which has nice, scented white flowers all summer...they have glossy, evergreen leaves and are not such a brute as jasmine.
for the winter, tubs of pansy and polyanthus hould smel lovely when the sun's on them and in spring, chuck in some scented bulbs....daffodil 'cheerfulness' or 'paperwhite' for example or tubs full of hycinths will be delightful in spring.

And for the winter months there is winter Honeysuckle , which is a shrub which is easily clipped. Has small very fragrant flowers that bloom all winter and stronger smelling than the climbing variety.' Lonicera fragrantissima.' But personally I would make a complete to Enviromental health if the neighbours are not clearing up after their dog.
