There was a study I read about a while back (In Malcom Gladwell's Blink, maybe?) where people were shown random faces and asked to rate that person's attractiveness. While the person was looking, one of three smells was wafted under a person's nose, a control which had no smell, a very slight lemony-fresh scent, and a strong(but still good-smelling) lemony scent. The subjects rated people more attractive with the slight smell than the control, but if the smell was strong enough that the person could consciously smell the odor, all of the attractiveness-boost was lost.
