Datura...they do smell great and are very toxic. I lived in New Mexico for a few years and they are very commonly seen growing in the arroyos but are all white.

Datura!!! Yes! A double purple Datura at that! So beautiful!!!
When I saw it earlier before the flowers bloomed, I thought it was going to be a Dutchman's Pipe.  I was not even close!

I had a friend give me two of these last year. I read up on them to find they are banned in many states as they are very toxic to humans and animals. Let it die a graceful death.

also called 'jimson weed' - very hallucenogenic (the white variety, I'm sure the purple has similar toxicity)
Carlos Castenata worte of it and every part of it is toxic, even the seeds |
