maybe osmanthus fragrans, tea olive. small flowers emit a strong fragrance described as apricot scented.

It does look like an Osmanthus but many species and hybrids are grown in this area so without a better idea of scale and bloom season, I would hesitate to limit it to O. fragrans.

fwiw, many species will have a very distinct brown stem contrasted against the green leaves and I would suspect that the perceived tenderness is just new, yet to fully ripen and harden growth.

Arbutus unedo.

Cherry laurel?

Seems like bboy is right, you can see the spent flower stalk in the middle of the picture, which has no immature fruit on it. So for some reason it wasn't pollinated. But they also look like that in November (or at least mine do) because the flowers have a curious way of emerging. UPDATE, just checked mine by flashlight because it is near the house. Immature fruits are already 2-3 mm long and if they were present in this picture, I think you'd be able to spot them.

I wonder why no identify fruits from the prior year are visible though.

osmanthus has opposite leaves. These are alternate. Wish i could grow arbutus well out here.
