Taste of Honey

The sweet smell and taste of honey give us a soothing quality overall due to its medicinal properties that it has and they way that it has been used for centuries. Although its rarely used as a house fragrance it could be a great untapped resource. Take a small bit of honey and add a few drops of lemon juice to it and sit it over an open candle to give your house a soothing calm feel not to mention a sweet reward. If you would like the scent to be more contained and kept on a shelf try L'Occitane's Honey Scented Candle for $18.

Musk

Not to be confused with what we smell like as we exit the gym, this ancient fragrance originates from male deer and is one of the most expensive scents today. The aroma is the epitome of male strong, silent, commanding earthy, confident and sexy. Ladies don;t let that stop you though because when mixed with compatible elements it can create a fragrance perfect for a confident, sensual woman. It is not usually at the top of the charts for women sniffers but of course it always has a place in bachelor pads and colognes.

Tuberose

For an exotic floral scent go for this night blooming flower that is often seen in Hawaiian leis but is native to Mexico. This once is a vivid scent that will have you thinking of laying in a floral garden all afternoon in your home. This is a decadent scent that is very intoxicating as it fills a room. Try this elegantly sexy scent by spraying it on your light bulbs so that the heat will ignite the aroma in the evening time. Estee Lauder has a Tuberose Gardinia fragrance that will do the trick, but put some behind your ears first!
