Help identify this white oriental lily

Waxhaw (Charlotte), NC(Zone 7b)

This lily was bought as casablanca, which it is not...

It has white, slightly recurved flower petals (not ruffled).
It has heavy papilliea and each flower petal is only half spotted (vertically) with pink spots.
The nectaries are green, pollen bright orange, and the style tip is purple.
This lily has a very strong musky scent which is extremely overpowering indoors.

I have never seen a lily like this before.

Notice how the pink spots run halfway down each flower petal. This is repeated on all flower petals.

How about Princess Anna? Says it has very whiskery papillae in nectaries. Note says there is a purplish midrib on the OUTSIDE of the petals.
