Can someone please help me identify this tree? The one pictured is in Salem, Oregon (although I live in Ohio). Every summer when I visit my family in Oregon, I walk past this tree and it has the most amazing smell! I would love to plant one (or several!) but my cousin, grandma, and great-aunts have always called this a "perfume tree" and none of them know what the correct name for it is. Thanks in advance!

I believe that is a Clerodendron trichotomum 'harlequin glory bower'
