Please excuse Rinkytink, he enjoys being the group jerk-off and is
completely incapable of giving a straight answer to any question.

Your plant is Calycanthus floridus, commonly called "Spice Bush".

Can someone please help me to identify this plant:

It is a 2 m high bush in our garden in Germany and the blooms have a
strong smell of pineapple, mango and other tropical fruits.

Thanks!

Apparently the name is derived from kalyx and anthos (flower) since there
is
no perceptable difference in color between calyx and the rest of the
flower.
Strictly speaking there is no calyx, but only a perianth (indeed one of
those primitive plants).
