The plant in the office has flowers too, the first after 4 years without blooming.
It's quite possible that people who don't normally have fragrant houseplants blooming (I'm looking at you, Hoya) report the scent as a lot stronger because they have no comparison. Those of us who are houseplant obsessed, not so much.
PS. The beautiful bud fell off Cyborg Unicorn :( but Stoked has 2 or 3 just starting. Fingers crossed!
Wow, it's really rare to get the blooms indoors! Just outside my backdoor on the patio is a 15ft+ "corn plant", originally a 2ft cutting of a cutting of a cutting of a birthday gift plant many many moons ago that I stuck in the sand about 8 years ago. After a couple of years, it started blooming every December-January (hasn't quite started for me yet this year but the baby spikes are forming). Even outside it's almost overpowering - but there are dozens of spikes blooming at once so it's quite a large quantity of flowers. Have never ever noticed the dripping nectar however - maybe because it's outside and not dripping on the floor. You're spot-on on the comparison with murraya - my front yard is enclosed with an "orange jasmine" hedge about 6ft tall, and the scents are very similar -- the murraya however tends to be a little sweeter and more citrus blossom-like, but the dracaena and murraya both share an annoying trait (for me, anyway) with another denizen of my yard, a giant old night-blooming jasmine. All 3 have an almost cat-urine undertone that gets to me after a while LOL (ESPECIALLY the night-blooming jasmine - which can be detected from about a block away when in its full glory).
The nectar dripping seems to be a function of soil moisture levels in my experience with D. fragrans. If the soil is very moist, more nectar is produced...some plants are dappled with droplets of the stuff all over their upper leaves when the flowers bloom. Others, kept on the dry side in dimly lit conference rooms, don't drip much at all. Some people say the flowering process is a function of low temperatures (45-55 degrees F); I doubt that, because we maintain a lot of these in offices that never get below 65 degrees F. It seems to be a function of short days, as they invariably flower from early October to February indoors in natural or artificial light. I always cut the inflorescences off before they open, because the spent flowers make a mess on carpeted floors that is tough to clean up.
