Cherry Laurel (?)

Prunus laurocerasus IDed by evergreen, dense, smooth, glossy, elliptical leaves on short stems; cylindrical, upright flower racemes with axillary inflorescence. The leaves are supposed to be coriaceous (leather-like) and smell like almonds when crushed (the leaves are poisonous, though), but I didn’t touch or smell the plant. There are supposed to be “2-8 glands on the underside of the leaf blade base near the midrib,” according to this website I used to ID this plant. I’m gonna revisit it sometime and check these characteristics.

[Revisited] Idk, it had 2 glands but no real smell.
