Early in the season, maybe too early to identify.

It's a viburnum of some type, possibly a Viburnum carlesii or V.x burkwoodii cultivar if the flowers are fragrant. There are a large number of cultivars in the Viburnum genus, from many species, which can make identification somewhat tricky from a photo.

Oh the smell is extremely strong once it blooms. In fact, my wife and I wonder if someone is smoking marijuana or if a skunk died sometimes.– Evil ElfApr 17 '20 at 22:11

Hmm. This sounds like a plant that has flowers that are fly-pollinated rather than bee-pollinated. The two suggestions in my answer are bee-pollinated.– JurpApr 18 '20 at 14:03

OK, I've checked some references. The two possibilities are mentioned are considered to be fragrant and smell like cloves. Personally, I find both types very pleasing - something to go out of your way to sniff.– JurpApr 18 '20 at 14:33
