Solanum is a large, variable genus of annual plants and perennial plants, forbs, vines, sub-shrubs, shrubs, and small trees.

Solanum jasminoides has a scent that is worthy of its name.  The fragrance is not as overpowering as with some jasmines.  In areas that have reasonable conditions Potato Vines are frequently grown.  It is a reliable plant that blooms very well in the spring and has a mild perfume.  The foliage is damaged in the mid 20's.   Solanum jasminoides does have plenty of redeeming points as all of the most common plants do.  It will even bloom in more shade than most other vines.  It is hard to kill with too much or too little water once established.   Solanum jasminoides could be termed 'garden hardy'.
