Calophyllum trees are often called poon trees. They are known for their edible fruit and heartwood that is excellent for lumber.

This tree I guess kinda resembles it but smells rank AF and produces fruits that are poisonous raw.

It appears that "poon" has been used as a plant name since the 1690s. It looks like its other use was first recorded in the 1960s.
