I still say viburnum lentago.

I'm sure it's viburnum now. The leaves are opposite. There is a nice
aroma. I looked up viburnum in 2 tree and shrub books, and it may be
either viburnum lentago, or viburnum prunifolium (black haw). They seem
pretty close, but the black haw is listed as having smaller leaves, only
1-2". It's still early in the season so I'll decide once the leaves are
full size.

Thanks everyone.
