There is a garden nearby where both are grown and although I can certainly vouch for Lysichiton americanus being unpleasant, I have always found the Asian species to be less unpleasant rather than sweet smelling, they are also slightly larger. Very taken with the Erythronium, I grow this but to see it in such numbers must be really something.
