Weird smell in my backyard, what could it be?

There is a foul smell coming from my backyard. I've checked the garage cans and tried to smell everything in my yard, but I can't figure out what it is. It smells like something is rotting, but it also has like a sweet smell along with a vinegar type smell.

Checkout any drains make sure they are not blocked and are clean.

If you have a septic tank it sounds like it may have overflowed and needs to be pumped. You should be able to see signs of sewage though.
