Which clematis is this?

My sister in law has a clematis that has a strong chocolate smell, but with pink flowers. Looking online suggests that Wilsonii has white flowers and a chocolate fragrance. So has anyone idea what this one could be?

Thanks

    I've got 'Elizabeth' and I agree with Obelixx ... problem is mine succumbed to The  Beast and has done nothing at all this year ... hardly a leaflet  :'(

    Thanks for the feedback. Would you suggest I propogate a cutting or just buy a  plant if I want to get one for a corner of my own garden?

    Buy one, unless you're patient.  Cuttings can sometimes take years to get to a viable flowering size and need potting on several times to give them a good strong structure of roots and shoots.
