on one of my walks. definitely not a floral fragrance.

 

turns out this is a black haw viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium)

info: Flat heads of white flowers in the spring. Birds eat the purple-black fruit in the fall. The edible fruit tastes like raisins. Grow as a round-headed tree or multistemmed shrub. The leaves develop a beautiful red color in fall. Two plants are required for cross pollination and fruit set.
