My "bent" has always been toward the sense of smell, for the most part.

Lavendula, Santolina, Monarda, Sages, well-most herbs, Sweet woodruff, Buddleja, Lilac, Cedar, etc. Stuff that is more powerfully fragrant.

Secondary consideration is a tie between Sight and Touch. Mostly blue / cool hues and anything that will add textural interest.

The past couple of years I have been scheming more and more about Sound. Living next to one of the area's busiest traffic intersection, I want to mask that din. The babbling brook is in the works, leading to the pond.

Taste has always been an added bonus. Except for the veggie & herb gardens.

Not much color showing in this photo, but you can see the textures working.
