if it is in fact Brugmansia, this plant contains scoplamine and atropine.. atropine is what eye doctors drip into your eye to dialate the pupil during examinations. both of these compounds are anticholergenic drugs.. causing rapid heart beat, dry mouth, and hallucinations/delutions .. they basically make you dream while your awake. very toxic at high doses, and also prescribed to combat nausea or motion sickness in pill or skin patch form.
Reply:It is most likely a Brugmansia (if the flowers are pendulous). Also, your description of the scent gives it away...



Sometimes people incorrectly call them Datura, but I'm pretty sure that refers to the (often) white upright flowering type which is closely related to Brugmansia.
Reply:Consult a botanist.
Reply:yes, sounds like Brugmansia -- Angel's Trumpet -- very toxic
