Scented, leafless?
I'd think Daphnea cneorum although there are other species. There's a similar winter-flowering plant but the name doesn't spring to mind at the moment!  |

Sorry for the lack of details. The bush is currently leafless and about 2m high |

Looks more like a Viburnum to me - perhaps V. x bodnantense. Most Daphne species have 4 petals not 5 |

Definitely viburnum bodnantense; has a scent which is sweet like narcissi.

If the flowers are only about 1cm across and the plant has no leaves (all the photos I can find have leaves) can it still be Viburnum? |

V. bodnantense + its hybrids such as V. x fragrans flower late winter/ early spring before they come into leaf. These forms are grown particularly for their sweet scent. | | | |
