A couple of months ago, when we were visiting an antiques show, The Wife called me over to a 100-year-old liquor cabinet. "Smell," she said, opening the cabinet doors. It was the most richly-layered rum odor I'd ever had the pleasure of smelling. The cabinet was way out of our price range, but that's what we aspire to. :)

That said, since my tiki digs are outside, I've had my eye on jumbo incense sticks for a while now. I enjoy then at the various renaissance festivals we visit, and we regularly used the normal versions (cedar, frankincense, etc.) inside. The various tropical ones look like they'd go well with our outside space:

Pineapple/Coconut
Hawiian Plumeria

Lots of vendors have different scents available, and if you're more into essential oils, well, they do that, too.
