Hello there,
The normal vagina and the surrounding area should not have any offensive odor if you practice normal daily hygiene. Wash well with a very mild unperfumed soap and rinse well. Most of the time the odor is actually coming from the area outside of the vagina itself and simple washing with warm water will take care of it. If the odor persists then it has to be coming from something abnormal like an infection. Home remedies are not going to fix an infection. You will need to see a doctor for that.
Please remember that the way a normal healthy woman smells is not in any way unattractive. Do not believe all the silly ads that try to make us believe that there is something wrong with the natural way that we smell. Women do not need to smell like strawberries or flowers!
BTW, that old male joke about women smelling like fish has an interesting origin. It comes from the normal reaction of the natural acidic environment of the vagina to the presense of semen. To put it simply it is what men donate to the sexual act that results in that unpleasant smell that they like to tease women about! Again, simple washing will take care of it.
There are a number of easily fixable things that can cause you to develop an unpleasant odor down there. Go see a doctor and get it taken care of. Find a women Gynocologist if you can, they are always more understanding.
Remember not to douche, that will only make it worse.
Take care and good luck.

VInegar water solution (1:10 dilution) helps keep the acidity of the female's ****** The acid environment helps control overgrowth of fungus/bacteria that makes 'it' smell (If this is what I think you were asking). Use warm water and white vinegar. Douche it if you want, but external washing will do. Then rinse off with plain water. (You did asked for home remedy. Though various feminine wash solutions are readily available)

Wash thoroughly with a mild soap and water. Don't douche because that can cause you to get a yeast infection...then not only will it be smelly it will itch like crazy too.

you can try a natural-type yogurt. A bit of a pisser getting it in there, but it will cure yeast infections, etc.
Need I say it has to be a natural yogurt with natural cultures, etc. No fruit, etc.
If that doesn't work, it is off to the doctors, but if it is the "norm" it should end it all.

if your ***** is smelly, you probably have some kind of infection. I recommend that you see a doctor. It's probably nothing serious, but could be if you ignore it.
