Maybe a compact Daphne x susannae hybrid?

Thanks for having a try Rudi, you could well be right. I live in hopes that I find the label.

Daphnes flowered profusely in my garden, most flowers are now fading or gone, but D. burkwoodii Somerset
is still in flower. The extreme temperatures during last summer killed some plants like my big D. circassica
and a plant of  D. x Maisie Larrae,which I planted in a hotter place. So not all the Daphne species and
cultivars tolerate the recommended warm places.

Thomas, you are right. Some days, the garden smelled like a perfume shop.
A welcome reward for all the work during the year.
