It’s so funny that you posted this today, Bear. At lunch we were standing in line at a restaurant with a huge outdoor patio and I happened to be standing in front of a ligustrum in full bloom and I love their fragrance. There used to be some in my neighborhood, but they’ve either died or been dug up because I hadn’t smelled one in years. Have a good week! Hugs, N 🙂 ❤
I just love scent memories too! They always take me back. Even about 1500 miles from our house a half a block from the beach where I grew up, there are some days when the wind is just right that I swear I can smell the sea and the flowers of southern California. And I look so forward to those days that take me back there! 🙂 ❤

Tree or shrub? It’s beautiful, but Google says they don’t smell good… 😦

MIne are close to being small trees. The blooms and glossy green leaves are so lovely that they make the scent less bothersome.
