    Many people hate it, but I love the smell. Growing up in inner London, it was the only blossom you ever saw or smelt.
    The smell meant school holidays when six weeks seemed like forever.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I love the scent of privet blossom  <3  reminds me of summer holidays in Brittany  :)

    Agree with fidgetbones, looks like privet. I too love the scent of privet!

    Thanks everyone. It’s at the back of our ‘rubbish bed’ which I’ve started clearing and not noticed it before. It’s a bit like a buggleja in shape.

    It's related to lilac  :)
