One of the parents of the common E.x ebbingei. I always think these shrubs are unfairly despised. Of course local councils plant way too much of ebbingei and we get sick of it but then there have been a few occasions when I've been walking past a hedge at this time of year, and whoever I was with has remarked on 'that lovely fragrance' and 'where's it coming from?' The flowers are small and mostly hidden among the leaves so it's not at all obvious. To make matters worse, the council tend to choose that moment to go over it with hedge trimmers...

E.macrophylla is not very different to ebbingei and just as tough. The leaves are larger and perhaps greener but overall the shrub seems more compact. I'm not at all sure why it's so much less often seen.

Btw, the flowers are well worth a close look - note the little glittery star shaped scales like tiny christmas decorations all over them (and all over the rest of the plant for that matter, including the fruits, which I believe are edible) You may need a magnifying glass.
