Can you please help me identify a flower?

Okay, I live in Hawaii and I occasionally come across this really sweet/strong fragrance from a flower. The smell is very inviting, makes you want more of it. The flower is small, white, im not sure how many pedals. but i know the flower is probably less than 3 inches long. The bush can grow over 5 feet because the flowers were about the height of my head. The leaves are small too, an inch long around there. Dark green leaves. Can anyone list any possibilities of this species of plant?

Can you please help me identify a flower?
It sounds like stephanotis-Stephanotis floribunda

Common Name Madagascar jasmine; Stephanotis

--------------------------------------...

Hardiness: Tender perennial grown as an annual or container plant

Habit: Evergreen

Growth Rate: Rapid

Texture: Medium to coarse

Height: 5'-15'

Exposure: Sun to partial shade

Climbing Method: Twining

Flower/ Fruit: Long lasting, waxy, very fragrant flower clusters in summer on new growth; does not flower well indoors.

I used to live in Hawaii, and there are several wonderfully scented blooms. I don't think it's plumeria because the leaves on that tree are about 5" to 8" long.

Reply:It almost sounds like it could possibly be Jasmine ?
Reply:Could be jasmine. They have very tiny flowers and the scent can be very sweet and strong.
