Trying to ID a shrub?

It flowers in mid spring, clusters of tiny flowers that are purple when unopened, white when opened, almost tube-shaped with four points. The flowers are very fragrant.


The leaves are opposite, veined, and not lobed (simple). The edges of the leaves are smooth, not serrated.


It loses its leaves in winter.


It's about three feet tall.

If it looks like these pictures, it's lilac. There are white lilacs, and there are dwarf varieties that may be three feet tall. Most, however, are very tall at maturity.
