What is a flower with strong fragrance that comes in white and purplish-pink shades?

I have no idea what this flower is called but it grows in some sort of a tree-shrub way. It has a very strong pleasant fragrance.

Reply:Maybe a Peony. Peonies grow on a small/medium size bush and the flowers smell beautifully sweet. I have seen them in white, pinkish and deep red.

If your sure it grows on a tree/shrub formation, then i think its lilac:)
Reply:Might be a lilac. I've seen them in seed catalogs and gardening books in the colors you mention. I have a lilac bush that has lavender blooms. It smells wonderful! I always bring in a bouquet in the spring when they are in bloom. Their fragrance fills the room.

Daphne odora sweet pink flowers.

Daphnex burkwoodi 'Carol Mackie' Flowers are pale pink to white umbels

Leptodermis oblonga Violet-pink, lilac-like blooms

Banana Shrub (Michelia figo) Creamy yellow flowers tinged with purple, resembling small magnolia blossoms

Carolina Allspice (Calycanthus floridus) aka Sweet Shrub.

Red-flowering currant, Ribes sanguineum

Korenspice Viburnum The flowers are clove-scented, white

Burkwood viburnum V. burkwoodii ‘Mohawk’ has red buds, which are showy but they open into white flowers.

Its May, this is when lots of shrubs bloom, and purplish-pink is the most common flower color.
