What Is This Flowering Tree?
When leaving the library yesterday, I noted an almost cloyingly overpowering floral scent wafting from this blossoming ornamental tree nearby. I have no idea what it is, though, because my horticultural expertise is effectively nil.

It isn't related to lilacs, because these flowers have five petals. I don't recall seeing obvious fruit in years past. I think the leaves turned red last fall, but I paid little attention then.

Your suggestions are welcome, and feel free to request additional info.

Tree or bush? It sort of looks like jasmine, which has an overpoweringly sweet smell and the leaves can turn red.

Definitely a tree. Vertical scale is hard to estimate, but I'd say it's at least 20 feet tall. I'll have to use a protractor, plumb bob, and some trig to get a more accurate height  measurement tomorrow if I remember.

No ... Looking at the flowers, it is wrong. Sorry. Where are you located? That may help.

Reverse image search didn't help you? :)

My partner suggested possibly crabapple as it looks like crabapple flowers and leaves but they generally don't smell that strongly.  And also apparently they have tiny little fruits so you might not see any unless you were specifically looking for them.

There are many possibilities in that broad family of apples and cherries and whatnot.

I'm guessing flowering crabapple.

Boss suggested ornamental pear for one with larger blossoms, but the one above is clearly different. Smaller flowers, larger leaves, different branch structure...
