When I was a small child, I was given a "lilac" scented Avon cologne stick which came with instructions to rub it on the inside of my wrists because that is how ladies wear their perfume. I had never met an actual lilac until much later. But the scent of them fills me with the joy of an 8 year old. I'm glad you had some sniffing time with them.
I planted a lilac tree in my yard two springs ago and we call it Kim Tree because it is a Korean Lilac and literally everywhere including down my street lilacs are blooming but not Kim Tree. (She's getting there just not fully bloomed yet)

while i was there i was thinking about how private smell is, actually, for exactly the reason you're describing!
