I have no idea what this flower is called but it grows in some sort of a tree-shrub way. It has a very strong pleasant fragrance.

Might be a lilac. I’ve seen them in seed catalogs and gardening books in the colors you mention. I have a lilac bush that has lavender blooms. It smells wonderful! I always bring in a bouquet in the spring when they are in bloom. Their fragrance fills the room.
It would help to have a photo. But it sounds like a nasturtium.
Here’s an engine search that might help you though

Lilacs!!! they come from dark purple to almost white. they are dont blooming here in Illinois :( they smell wonderful! i have one right outside my kitchen window!!! in neighbors yard…. just heavenly
Maybe a Peony. Peonies grow on a small/medium size bush and the flowers smell beautifully sweet. I have seen them in white, pinkish and deep red.
I assume you mean it is bloom now in May.
Daphne odora sweet pink flowers.
Daphnex burkwoodi ‘Carol Mackie’ Flowers are pale pink to white umbels
Leptodermis oblonga Violet-pink, lilac-like blooms
Banana Shrub (Michelia figo) Creamy yellow flowers tinged with purple, resembling small magnolia blossoms
Carolina Allspice (Calycanthus floridus) aka Sweet Shrub.
Red-flowering currant, Ribes sanguineum
Korenspice Viburnum The flowers are clove-scented, white
Burkwood viburnum V. burkwoodii ‘Mohawk’ has red buds, which are showy but they open into white flowers.
Fragrant viburnum (V. farreri) fragrant, white to pink flowers appear before the leaves open.
Its May, this is when lots of shrubs bloom, and purplish-pink is the most common flower color.
Tree shrub makes me think of Rose of Sharon.

Good luck!!! Hope one of these is it!
might be lily of the valley
indeed, sounds like lilac or perhaps stock…both very fragrant and come in those colors:)
If your sure it grows on a tree/shrub formation, then i think its lilac:)
