Scents are one of the most powerful ways to manipulate a person's mood. What's more, how someone reacts is completely different from person to person. It isn't just personal taste, either, it's memories.
Memories are best triggered by smells. Don't ask me why, or how, I'm not sure. I don't even know if that's 100% true, but it certainly has always been that way for me. I can walk by someone who is wearing a certain scent and instantly be transported back to someone I once knew, or even a specific moment with them, along with all the emotions that I associate with them.
This is obviously something you can use to your advantage. I once read (in a horror novel of all places) that a girl should never be without a scent. Perfume isn't the only thing, though. I'm sure most in the kink scene already react to the smell of certain lubes, lotions, leather... it's a really powerful thing. Just think.
The smell of your Top's favorite brand of cigarettes, rushing into the room as a door opens.
The scent of Your sub's shampoo as she throws her hair back at Your touch.
His favorite cologne, just barely detectable in the sheets your face is being pushed into.
It's a powerful thing.

Just thinkin'. ;)
