I would be interested in very fragrant shrubs and trees as well. Neighbour has done garage\outbuilding conversion and the smell of extremely pungent cooking smells now drifts over our patio and garden. Think they may have put the vent inches from the boundary and above fence level. Hence we need to mask the smell with some very fragrant plants.
No single variety of shrub or tree is going to mask the smell as their season of fragrant flowers or foliage is transient and, in any case, your nose will become desensitised to persistent fragrance, whether good or bad.
Go talk to him /her askto be shown around and then you'll perhaps understand why the farm smells as it does and if they have a few bantums you may beable to get a few eggs. I suspect you'll get a odd luck if you complain about the smell though.
If you really would like a hedge get an english species mix then you'll get the sight of lovely birds and creatures all year
Some smelly ( nice ) plants include Daphne Bolua, Honeysuckles, pinks, roses, viburnams, privet. Not sure about trees but some of these are quite large shrubs.
We have a main road running through the village. Most of the 'nice' houses are on it. They sell quite well and then whoever buys, promptly complains about the traffic. We even had one plonker move in next to the garage and then try to shut the business down as there was traffic going in and out all day!!!. Soon put a stop to that though . I've had plenty of practice at stopping mischief making.
I always have liked the scent of well-made silage, almost as much as well-made hay and a warm byre on a chilly morning

Can't think of a tree but what about bushes Jasmine , Honeysuckle and herbs curry plant , lanvendar , rosemary come to mind
however doubt if that would be enough depends on the smell

I'd rather live next to a farm than an airport. I was shocked by the all pervading smell of aviation fuel at the back of Zaventem airport when out on a hunt for sculptures by a certain Belgian artist - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/media/0807%20Sculpture%20tour/080718049.jpg.html?sort=2&o=11 .

Talking about pig muck - I always think it smells like the Plasticine we use to play with at school donkeys years ago.
It's pigs years since I smelt donkey muck....
