What is this evergreen white-flowered Bush growing in the shade?

Question

enter image description here It has little white flowers in June, doesn't lose leaves in winter, grows in shade, leggy, hardy in zone 6A.

Is the plant scented? – George of all trades May 11 '17 at 19:45 — George of all trades, May 11 '17 at 19:45

The closest I've been able to get is Ilex verticillata, Winterberry. This is a difficult one to find on the internet Winterberry pic My goodness; evergreen shrub, ovate/obovate, entire edges, alternate leaves, white 6 petaled flower. Other sites say this leaf is serrated? I can only spend so much time doing this, so OCD!! So this is not a hard and fast ID at all.
