I hear you on both the scent and music fronts. When I play music at my desk, it's at a low enough volume that you have to be *right* next to my desk to make out what's playing. At a distance of three feet, you can hear that music is playing, but it's very soft.

As I told Tori, my reason for wanting candles is to freshen the air in here. It gets really stale sometimes. A sachet seems like it would have too limited an effect... other ideas? I don't necessarily want to *add* a scent to the air, if there's another way to just make it nice and fresh and good. :-)
