Flowers/plants that smell nice in the garden?

I am looking for flowers/plants that are easy to grow/maintain that have a nice strong smell. My neighbour's yard smells constantly of dog urine %26amp; dog poo, and I want to plant flowers/plants that will help block out the smell. (I am aware that nothing except getting them to clean the dog dirt up will get rid of the smell but I just need something to help)

mint would be great for this. plus, you can run a mower over it without hurting it and really get a long lasting mint smell. a string trimmer works well also. it is very invasive though. dont put it anywhere near anything you dont want taken over by the mint. you could keep it in pots also.
Reply:jasmine is a very strong sweet smell that lasts along time. very easy to take care of and spreads very well. plant it by the fence and train it to creep the length of the fence.
Reply:Honeysuckle, Nicotiana, Hyacinth, Lilly of the valley. All strong, nice smells.
Reply:lavender


you could also burn some citronella candles while out there.
