We tuberous aroid growers have an almost embarrassingly large slate of 
candidates for this position.

I've grown enough that most of the carrion-scented ones don't really 
bother me much any more, nor those that smell musky/foxy (which is how 
Fritillaria imperialis smells to me) or of urine. But there are a few of 
the typhoniums which produce an oddly penetrating and almost eye-watering 
smell of being downwind of a pig farm which still gets to me a bit.
