Wow! fragrance from 30 feet distance! so i am thinking how it smells when anyone close to this Naga Champaka by touching nose.

Here in my place we have a flower named Hasna Hena which flower's fragrance spread 20-30 feet distance.

Sometime we saw snake came and hang out with this flower plant.

People said Snake came by smelling its strong fragrance.

Even the same thing happens with this tree, because of it's strong fragrance!! ... :)
