After two hours of searching, I finally discovered the name of this wonderful-smelling, November-blooming shrub. It is native throughout the Mediterranean countries, from Portugal through the Arabian penninsula, even sporadically all the way to southern Asia. Growing up to 20 feet tall and hardy even in drought conditions, it is the most poisonus common ornamental plant if ingested (not recommended).
