What is the best smelling citrus peel/oil?

I recently made some Lemoncello with the Meyer lemons I grew and want to make other kinds of cello. I'm growing Gold Nugget Tangerine and Tango and will try to use their Zest for some cello but is there a type of citrus with an especially wonderful smelling Zest or oil that might taste good? I'm thinking Calamansi but the fruit are so small. I also remember Rangpur lime had an amazing smell and taste. Any others I should consider? Thanks!

Here's a couple pics of my Meyer Lemoncello in front of my Meyer lemon tree.

I'm wondering the same thing about fragrant citrus zest.

Related to this, I'm told that the Chinese dried mandarin peels sold in herb shops are a specific kind that has more fragrance than other types. Any idea if we can get this variety here?

There's a mandarin called tieu in Vietnamese. It has a pretty unique spiciness. I don't have it and don't think it's available publicly here.

Mexican lime, pink lemonade lemon.  My mother inlaw made cello liqour out of both of them off my trees.  It was ok but I'm more of a beer or bourban drinker.  I do like a bourbon on ice with a squeeze of key lime in it.
