At least the odor of a skunk disapates in a few hours....
The bradford pear flowers have that very heavy sickenly sweet
odor characteristic of quite a few members of the Rose family,
Pyracantha and Heteromeles come to mind - but it is worse!
Also the specimen I had started shedding limbs after about 20
years; in spite of some corrective pruning, finally we cut the
thing down. - good firewood.
