Plant: The queen of night

[Tom]

Hi

Here in Pakistan, we have a plant whose exquisite fragrance spreads far and wide but only at night. As the morning approaches the sweet smell of the flower withers away. It is generally called the queen of night, but I am aware that it is only a coinage because no such terms exists anywhere. Does anyone of you know of such a plant and its real name?

I would be thankful.
