What plant is this?
I took a picture of it in London, in February. It looked amazing healthy in the winter and its flowers had a jasmine-like scent.

Looks like Sarcococca to me - either S. confusa or S. humilis. It does have an amazing scent!

Thank you, Spritzhenry, I think you are right. I'll search for it here. To have this scent in the garden is a must :).

An absolute 'must have' for the winter garden! The scent is fantastic and carries on the air. Plant some where you will pass it on winter days. It's also evergreen so has a presence all year.

Does not survive here in our extemely cold garden sadly.

Owdboggy, I live in a pretty cold weather zone too. If I'll find it, I'll try though planting the Sarcococca in a wind-protected place and I'll keep my fingers crossed :).

At least you now know it is a bit prone to cold wind damage. We have no sheltered spaces left here now.

Often, it needs a mild day to be of its best, Seaburngirl.
