I am looking for a paperback collection of “true” ghost stories, published probably in the 1970s. Cover: Ghost bride on stairs. One story has a title like “The Scent of Lilac”.

Your description matches the cover of 13 GHOSTS; Strange but True Stories by Will Osborne, but it was published in 1988. https://www.paperbackswap.com/13-Ghosts-Strange-Will-Osborne/book/0590416901/
This site lists the stories, but no lilac. It does mention tulip.
Maybe you’re mixing up the Nancy Drew “Mystery at the Lilac Inn”?
One of the Haunted books- maybe Haunted Heartland – by Michael Norman and Beth Scott had a ghost story involving lilacs. Ethyl Hanley
