Recommendations for Fragrant Plants? (Zone 8-9/PNW)

Advice Request - (Insert State/Region)

Title. A friend of mine mentioned that she'd "always wanted" a night-blooming jasmine, and I realized that I know of very few aromatic natives besides mock oranges (which I've planted, but they haven't flowered yet). Apparently our two native honeysuckes, orange and pink/hairy, are not totally scentless but pretty close.

So: anyone heard of/experienced a strongly fragrant native option similar to jasmine? Or just want to share their favorite garden scents?
