Deciduous tree

I found this plant which in the photo it is a new plantlet, but beside it there where several deicduous high trees with ash-grey bark having the same leaves. It had a strange smell between foetid and peanut butter!! Must be something common byt I can't recall it.

Looks to be another typical question for RB

At school we used to rip the leaflets off, and use the leaf-stem (tech name pls!) to whip a$$.
