Default Shrub Confusion

Hi

I bought this shrub at a church fete and am struggling to identify it.

Can anyone help? Also, how will it grow, tall or bushy? Is it a good idea to
plant it or will it take over my garden?!

thanks in advance for any help!

I think it's a Daphne. If it's Daphne odora aureomarginata it will
grow to about 4' or so and smell absolutely wonderful in winter.

If it's Daphne bholua - well, ours is about 15', I should guess and
again, the scent is outstanding. But at a guess, it's the former.
