Considering the fact that artificial scents have been used for millenia, one wonders what kind of wusses we have become. My guess is that there are a lot of folks with “allergies” that would whine unceasingly if the odor they smelled was naturally emitted. BO stinks more than you may remember.
Not really, until recently scents were made by combining oils from flowers, herbs, spices or resins. I have no problem with those scents but the truly artificial scent makes me gasp.
For room freshener I use straight citrus oils. The smell can be quite strong but it does not product the same reaction that even a mild room spray produces.
