Hi Chris,

   Donna said that I should look at your pictures.  At a quick glance
   I'd say that you have Viburnum x burkwoodii.  The flowering time is
   right, the leaves look glossy enough, and it's definitely fragrant.

   An interesting bit of trivia:  almost all of the viburnums flower in
   alphabetical order by specific epithet. 

   Nice photos!

Chris
