Rutaceae certainly are aromatic, we have Zieria smithii in abundance in "my" little patch of bush. Many people find it 'orrible, but I don't find the smell that offensive.
That touches on another factor relating to plant smells and chemistry in general. There can be very wide regional variations. That is true of Zieria, but applies to many many plants. A classic example of such variation is Pituri.
