Huge mystery shrub

Hi,

Can anyone help me ID a HUGE woody shrub. I'm outside Washington DC.

The shrub is about 3-4 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide. Here is one piece of it.

The base is very woody and with thick branches near the bottom, but I can't get under it to see if it is one shrub or several. It reminds me of the way old lavender or rosemary gets.

The leaves are narrow, and grayish on the underside. They smell really good, not like sage or mint though.

Apparently, the shrub flowers and attracts bumblebees.

I think it needs rejuvenation, it was overtaken with Oriental Bittwersweet, but I don't want to start pruning until I know what it is.

TIA
