Don't you usually have frost by November where you are? It's a big ask, for plants that will still be blooming and fragrant that late. But if you shop the nurseries and garden centers in the fall right before they close down, you'll be able to see what's available, and also get some good discounts.

About the only thing I can think of that's dependable, fragrant and will stand a little frost are fall-planted Pansies or Violas and they may or may not survive the winter and bloom again next spring. But they are widely available for planting in the fall, smell great and are really beautiful and colorful. If your high canopy of shade is under deciduous trees, then once the leaves fall it gets sunny and warmer which might carry some more different plants through later into November. But it's really going to depend upon the weather each year.

For the full sun area, I'd go for roses. They re-bloom dependably about every 6 weeks and I've had roses in my Utah garden as late as Dec. 10th. Buy fragrant Hybrid Teas for the dependable re-bloom cycle.

There are some daylilies that re-bloom and are fragrant, too. But again, it's going to depend upon the weather. Some say they are re-bloomers but they're not dependable.
