@fizzyliz Viburnum bodnantese Dawn or V b Charles Lamont as seen in my garden. On a warm winters day you can smell it everywhere in the garden My shrub is about 8ft tall but with pruning and thinning out at the base after flowering takes up little space at ground level.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
Yes I have got it wrong. Too much time spent in the garden today didn't study the leaves properly. If it is actually DJ Postill a rare shrub. I did manage to get my photo the right way also rare.

Wonder why it is so hard to get hold of. Some of them sucker like mad and the suckers are fairly easy to grow on. There are dozens of them at Bodnant in the Winter Garden.

It's quite commonplace to find them. Thankfully, I bought mine from the poorly section and it took about a year to grow properly. Mine's now about 5 years old at 6' tall. I've not noticed any suckering from mine, but if they do, they'll soon get whipped out.
@Silver surfer agree with you as today we went out to savour the scent of ours which is only 3 years old. This replaced a Daphne ordoratum after decades but this one is giving us a great fragrance already. A great plant to have in any garden.

I have turned and trimmed pics.
Definitely Daphne.
I would suggest Daphne Jacqueline Postill.
The scent is amazing.
