Hi everyone, I'm visiting from the home decor forum...

I'm in Connecticut. I saw this little tree -- about six feet tall, somewhat spindly -- growing in a shady spot in the woods.

The white flowers have a wonderfully sweet scent, almost like honeysuckle. The open flowers are about one inch across; the largest leaves in the photos are about three inches long. The leaves are moderately shiny on top, not so shiny underneath.

This little tree is lovely, and I would really like to find out what it is. Thanks so much!
