Hi can someone please help me identify this either very large shrub or tree please? It’s on a walk I take with my dog and it smells amazing!

    Sorry didn’t mean to be abrupt, was in a rush! 
    I love the white ones, I have a purple one, no where near out in flower yet, we are about 3 weeks behind most places.

    It could be a Bird Cherry, Prunus Padus. The leaves don't look like Lilac shrubs.

    Yes, I agree with @Borderline, it's Bird Cherry. Has little black berries that birds like.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Do you want mine? I'm probably going to dig it up at the end of the summer because I don't like where it is or how it smells 😂
