Can anyone identify this shrub?

We were cutting back in a small public garden this morning and none of us could identify this shrub.  The shrub itself was about 6' high and around 4' across, quite loose in habit. I brought home a snipping to photograph and ask on here.  There are tiny blossoms that are fragrant. The flowers are in the leaf axils and the backs of the (glossy) leaves are silvery.


And a close up of the flowers;

Eleagenus ebbi ( not sure on the spelling )  nice scented flowers at this time of year

That's what I was going to say too. Popular for hedging in this part of France.

Thank you!  I'll let the rest of the team know!
