Anyone recognise it?

Is it some form of eleagnus? I ssaw a similar one many years ago at a
garden. Is this one scented? That was what drew us to it. The
flowers and leaves are similar I think.

I didn't notice any scent, but as the flowers haven't yet opened
perhaps it shouldn't have been expected.

But, yes, it seems to be an Elaeagnus, E. multiflora in particular.
Wikipedia tells me that this is the source of the gumi berry.

Probably just a coincidence, but it's on a site now occupied by a
pharmaceutical company.
