What is the oldfashioned, highly fragrant flower that grows as bush rather than individual plant-violet,lilac?

Lilacs are very fragrent and grow on a bush. Lilacs are most popular in purple and white. If you'd like to see a photo to see if those are what you are speaking about, go here:

Definitely lavender. The stuff your grandmother probably had dried in sachets... I love it.
Reply:yes i think lavender as well....
Reply:Lilacs can grow as bushes or as running vines. Lavender grows in a cluster that appears bush-like. Both types of flowers can be used to make sachets or as cut flowers. Unfortunately lilacs can take years to bloom, have a short bloom time, and can be quite temperamental. Lavender is actually very easy to grow and is a perennial. It also grows wild.
Reply:Sounds like lavender to me!
Reply:It could be the Butterfly Bush. It has a really great aroma.
