WE DO! The Lagoon of Mystery is an outdoor tiki space, so this might not work for everyone. Before gatherings--or even when The Wife and I are going to hit the pool for a few hours--we light up some of those giant, outdoor-size incense sticks. Coconut, plumeria, mango, etc. Readily identifiable tropical scents, nothing suggesting grandma's attic like patchouli or old roses. We put them out (generally just one or two, depending on wind conditions) in the landscaped area around the pool. It's not overwhelming but little hints of tropical scent come and go throughout the evening. We've had people come up and say to the effect, "This sounds crazy, but your place is so immersive and tropical I've been imagining I smell coconut all evening!" They're relieved when we point out the incense!
