I've been searching online and have found some similar, but nothing has been quite right with the little trumpet shaped clustered flowers and the saw tooth leaves like this. I feel like I should know what it is, but I'm drawing a blank. Anyways, it smells SO amazing! Anytime I'm out in the back yard and the wind blows it just makes me stop and breathe in!

I think it may be a viburnum. I had an oak leaf viburnum and it had flowers like that. They are beautiful plants. VERY SLOW GROWING.

That's what I thought when looking, Kristin, but the flowers on the viburnum are flat and not trumpet shaped like this and the leaves look different.

Ooooh, we have one of those, too! 
Smells wonderful but blooms so briefly. 
Glad you were able to ID it.
