To attract insects
The primary reason for plants having any fragrance at all - some nice and some unpleasant - is to attract insects. These insects crawl over the flower then fly or crawl off to another equally-interesting smelling plant. This helps with pollination between the flowers, as the insects carry pollen from male to female flowers, enabling reproduction of the plant.
Not all plants smell nice. The Rafflesia is a large Indonesian flower which smells like rotting meat. It attracts flies and carrion beetles, which then do a very effective job of carrying pollen between the flowers.
