Sweetly scented?

Ahha, I checked the viburnum tinus and the flowers are in clusters and my shrub has more blossom like flowers, but I think it is the Sarcococca Confusa christmas box as per the link above, thank you, I shall now endeavour to find one locally, take my cutting with me and buy a new plant. Having spent hours unsuccessfully going through books I should have asked here first, thank you Nicos.

If there's some new growth on the plant, you could try propagating it from cuttings.

Glad to have helped!
Sounds lovely...quite fancy one myself now, espesh as I've decided I need more pollen bearing plants during winter/early Spring.
Yeh...try and propagate as VC suggested...you could end up with a few!

I love doing cuttings, and will do but as Im not a spring chicken anymore by the time it was shrub size Id be in my dotage!

We're both spring chickens and I take cuttings all the time.
If its one of these https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/16452/...fusa-i/Details
