Aromatic hydrocarbons doesn't mean they smell good. Benzene smells sweet like gasoline does, but I wouldn't want gasoline air fresheners.
Right but synthetic air fresheners that mimic natural ones are all petroleum based. We're just aerosolizing petroleum and inhaling it all day. Like febreeze the bed while the plugged in air freshener in the corner off gasses all before I go turn on my gas stove with the broken vent.
I do, because it would be less toxic than smelling that sweet sweet gasoline.
