The daily lemming
I'm not all sure I need my cleaning vinegar scented, but it does sound nice: Household Vinegar from Pikoc in Santal Frais. "The stubborn smell of white vinegar is over. With Pikoc scented vinegars, be confident that you will have a big smile during your cleaning sessions! Certified Ecocert and made with 100% natural perfumes. Santal Frais is the strength of sandalwood and cedarwood mixed with the audacity of cardamom and ginger spices." $17 for 500 ml at Beautyhabit. (And I almost forgot, but this is the same brand that makes an orange blossom laundry detergent I was wanting last month.)
