A. There are a few fragrant deciduous shrubs to try in a shady Zone 5 site.

A few suggestions:
Daphne 'Carol Mackie' - beautiful variegated foliage
Azaleas - 'Northern lights' series - 'Mandarin' and 'Orchid' are best
Philadephus (Mock Orange) - citrus scent, white spring blooms
Summersweet (Clethra) - will tolerate even full shade, native
