Leaves and foliage are wrong for a sweet almond bush. Your photo looks more like a flowering lemon tree as Trefoli suggested.

You're right - it doesn't look like almond, but it isn't a lemon either. Look at the pic I posted. The flowers grow on bunches on long stems, and each flower only has 4 petals; I believe that lemons have five.  I'm still stumped.

The leaves look pointed on your plant & the sweet almond bush has a rounded tip on its leaves. 

Can you bring a sample into a local cooperative extension? I think you might have to call ahead as this isn't considered essential.

Your plant on the left....Cheyenne Privet on right

Fragrant flowers in the Spring!

It might be a Chinese Privet ... not sure though.

Thank you so much! This has been driving me nuts. I've been searching online, but was unable to come up with an accurate answer.

The flowers remind me of my ligustrum which are blooming now.  I can smell the flowers as soon as I open the door.  There are different types of leaves on them depending on the variety.  Mine are wax leaf.  Here is what they look like up close:
