Try burning Salvia melifera. That stuff when burning gives off an odor
that somepeople despise. I know that it cause my dog to go into fits of
sneezing when i burned it for incense one day. ON a hot day however, a
hillside of these plants gives of such a strong odor. I had to go
collect seeds from these plants, and the smell gave me a headache.
(bugs LOVE to nest in the seed capsules)

One plant i cannot stand to be around is Poison Hemlock. The smell of
it when it flowers is a sickening nutty odor. Its horrible, and i
couldnt eat lunch near a stand of these weeds.
