I have two lilacs, a VERY fragrant white and a not-quite-so fragrant purple. The white is about 20 feet tall, perhaps 10-15 years old and began blooming near the top about a week ago. This week, in warm sunshine just after the rain, the scent was strong enough to knock me over. was looking for fragrant shrubs, in bloom now. I had noted that some people had mentioned that their fragrant viburnum are blooming (burkwoodii and carlesii), and I wanted to get a whiff and maybe buy. On the way in, there were a bunch of French lilacs.
