Try before you plant. I think everyone has a different experience with smells and what they like. I can't tolerate paperwhites in the house - I get an terrible headache. My daughter has no problem with them. I have a lot of Hyacinths in the yard, when they are grouped together the fragrance can overwhelm the senses from 15 feet. Go to someone's garden or park and try out what is tolerable for you ( and your family).

Reply:Daffodils have no ability to smell anything. They are plants.
Reply:They smell lovely...until they get old, just like any other flower.
Reply:Mickey is right on this one. I think that daffodils have a light fresh fragrance and they don't have a bad odor at all. And deer wont eat them which is good in my area. Look for many varieties to plant together to extend the blooming season. By planting different varieties you can have blooms for a few months by combining early, mid, and late blooming daffodils. Enjoy!!! :)
Reply:It depends on your own sense of smell, but in generally I think they have a very strong smell.
Reply:Most have no odor, or a very light fragrance. However, paperwhites, a similar but smaller flower, do have a bit of a musky odor.
Reply:No they don't smell good ,they don't stink either. if you are not planting them at nose level ,you won't even notice. They are so nice to look at, plant them %26amp; enjoy.
Reply:i think they smell fantastic. very faint and kind of lemony, its a fresh clean spring smell. what you may have heard is that the bulbs stink--which they do if you cut them. daffodil bulbs repel deer and squirrels--they wont eat them like they will tulips and lilies.
Reply:I dunno....
