Evening, 
we have this growing amongst a large old laurel hedge and wondered if anyone knows what it may be. 
Many thanks
Andrew

    Could it be privet?
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Looks like privet flowers to me too. Wonderful perfume. Reminds me of holidays in Brittany. Great for pollinators. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Another vote for privet.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Hmm!
    Sorry, but I detest the smell of privet.
    Reminds me of cat pee. Yuk!

    One man/woman’s meat eh?  @Silver surfer I love it. 😊 

    I love the smell of Herb Robert too. 😊
