Flowers have an awful scent.

This plant was the big rage around my area back in the late 1970's through the 1990's to plant with purple leaved cherries/plums or red barberries for a truely gaudy display. Some of these still can be seen around, but they don't seem to be nearly as popular anymore. Perhaps I wasn't the only one whose eyes they hurt to look at. They don't seem to be spreading by seed and hence don't have the invasiveness which many other Privets seem to have, especially the Glossy Privet (Ligustrum lucidum).
