Sorry ,the pic is not very
Did this shrub make red berries?
For me it look like a ILex Aquifoliom but not sure at 100 per cent

Thanks, not a Holly, even the Japanese one has bigger leaves. The ones on this are no more than half an inch long.
If it had thorns you would think it was a Berberis from the leaf size.

any chance you can take a close up of the flowers OWD? I have seen it before but not getting a name coming. Age!

it reminds me of Sarcococca saligna, but it don't think the leaves are long enough.

I have Sarcococca ruscifolia and was going to suggest one of that family but Sbg beat me to it.

Been identified as Buxus sempervirens. Thanks folks.

Actually smells of cat urine.

Did not recognise it as the only ones we had at our previous house had bigger leaves, or variegated ones (B. elegantissima) and certainly never flowered.

I'd suggest one of the Sarcococcas. I've been attracted to them in garden centres because they flower and are fragrant in winter but the scent reminds me of halitosis.
