Answer 1

If it's in the early springtime I'm guessing it's a  Bradford Pear tree.  They stink pretty bad.

If it's now it might be road kill.  Animal carcasses wind up over in the weeds on the side of the road.  You might not see them but they are there stinking to high heaven.  It's a pretty gross smell. Overpowering.
