I have a few rows of these shrubs planted outside my house, but a couple have died (possibly due to overuse of weedkiller - my mistake). Any ideas what they are so I can replace them? I'm assuming it's something fairly common!

Choisya ternata sundance - given proper care the will grow big enough to produce white, orange scented flowers. Here's some info - https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/96024/Choisya-ternata-Sundance-Lich-(PBR)/Details

Thank you! Am I likely to find them at a good garden centre?

I agree it is a Choisya and does have a wonderful scent which is why they have planted so many. You could also add more scented plants like daphne or sarcacocca.

Yes, it's become commonly available. Good idea to plant some sarcoccocca for winter perfume so check those out too.

If, like me, you are careful (I'm just mean!) markawitham they aren't too difficult to take cuttings from but take twice as many as you want and expect to lose a few.

I like the scent of them but my daughter says they smell like cat pee, each to their own.

No need to buy more to replace the dead ones.
The ones you already have will soon grow and fill any gaps.
They can grow quite large!
