Bush with little white flowers - smells heavenly!

Anyone know what this plant is? It's a bush with super sweet smelling white flowers that blooms early spring.

I'll go with some sort of lilac also. We have a couple around my house too and they do smell great.

thank Kom, but I googled lilac bushes & the leaves are different. :shrug: Also, this bush has just little clusters of white flowers kind of 'tinged' with pink. The blooms are all gone now, but when they are in bloom the smell is incredible.

I have heard it called mountain laurel or a wild rhodedendrum. They typically grow as a border bush between the woods and field line.

Mock Orange maybe??

I think that is it, Bob. We have one that someone gave us 10 years ago when FIL died. We planted it at the edge of the yard and it is huge. I don't smell it so much anymoe though. I think it outgrew smelly stage. I'll have to go smell it tomorrow.

Had a big one in my front yard in PA.. and when it was in bloom you could smell from quite aways.. opened the front door and it was GREAT!

Thanks everyone, but I don't think it's anything suggested - It's not a rhody and the leaves are not like a mock orange or laurel. I attached a pic of the leaves.

Ahhhh, after further searching, I think it is a Viburnum!!!!!

Again, thanks to all!
