Huh.  I was going to say that "pique" would be a good choice since it 
appears in both sets.  Then I looked in this 1970 American Heritage 
Dictionary I have in my cubicle, and pique isn't even listed as a verb.  It 
only appears as a noun for resentment or vexation from hurt pride.

However, we do have piquant, "(1) Pleasantly pungent in taste or odor; 
spicy.  (2)Pleasantly disturbing, appealingly provocative."

I like those last two.
