Smell

A certain industry would like us to believe that scent can convert anyone into a sexpot. However, we are only somewhat stimulated by the sense of smell. The importance of smell has been both understated and over-stated at the best of times. Still, we are known to identify pleasant smells over unpleasant ones. Various scents may affect our moods, but someone's scent may cause them to appear sexy. This is because we are able to associate scent with memories or gender as well.

Voice

The tonal quality of the voice is often referenced in discussions of sexiness. This is primarily because the voice is a major discriminator between males and females. A male with a high pitch or female with a very heavy voice must have many other "sexy" attributes to be considered sexy. Similarly, those who have really "sexy" voices can probably get away with appearing dowdy or otherwise less attractive.

Sexy is subjective, but also socially determined. However, few people are so badly off that no one would consider them sexy. Therefore, it is alright to believe that you are sexy. With that being stated; it's hardly a good idea to broadcast it. You will either state the obvious, appear deluded or conceited. The ability of humans to attribute many qualities to being "sexy", suggests that most people can be considered "sexy" to at least one other person.
