Do tansy flowers smell like honey?

| Hoping someone can help. I'm accidentally growing something that looks very much like tansy--tanacteum vulgare. I've read a bit about how its leaves have been used to repel pests and such, but I can't find anything that describes the scent of the flowers. If this is indeed what I have, the flowers smell strongly of honey. Can anyone confirm or deny this to help me make my plant ID? |

| The flowers on my tansy plant have just opened this past week and have hardly any scent at all. The smell is similar to ox-eye daisies (C. leucanthemum). Anyone else? |

| I have dry tansy flowers and the smell is more close to the camphor smell not honey. |
