I have no idea what this bush is called, but for three or so weeks out of the year it smells fantastic. Very sweet smelling.

Could be wild privet... I only know it as "Liguster", but Wikipedia gave me that English page...

    Privets do look visually similar. Our plant is probably related, but I'm not sure if it's a privet proper. I've never seen berries and the leaves are a bit smaller. Evidently privets can be invasive. Ours is certainly hardy, but I've never seen it trying to spread in the 10 years we've lived here.
