The speaker knows that the woman must have breathed on the wreath "since" when it grows it smells, not like a wreath of flowers, but like Celia.
The phrase "I swear" is a bit odd. It sounds like the speaker is saying, "I swear it smells of thee," but that is awkward because then we are left with an incomplete clause. For it to make sense, the speaker would have had to say, "since when it grows, [it] smells, I swear, not of itself, but [of] thee." Of course, it is possible that the speaker is engaging in the age-old poetic practice of leaving things out.
Alternatively, the speaker could just be saying, "I swear," like when we say "it's true, I swear." Either way, it's pretty clear what the lines mean.
It's also important to note that the wreath still "grows." But wait. Don't you have to cut the flowers or plants to make a wreath? So how could it still be growing? Well, it seems like the speaker's wish from line 12 has come true (the wreath hasn't "withered"). Still, we bet he wasn't hoping to get the wreath back.
