fragrant pink viburnum

I recently moved to GA from PA. Along our property line in PA we had a row of about 6 shrubs that I was told were viburnums. They were about 5 ft. high, had pink flowers in early spring that had the most heavenly fragrance that wafted in the windows when they were in bloom. I am trying to find what the scientific name of this plant is so that I can see if a local nursery can order them for me. They have viburnums, but nothing that matches the color and fragrance. Can anyone help me with this?

:D I think that might be the one! I was always surprised when the fragrance came, because the plants looked dormant all winter and then, all of a sudden one day the fragrance arrived and I would look over, and sure enough.....it was those shrubs giving off their heady fragrance again.
Thanks. I'm going to see if it's not too hot for them here and hopefully order some!
