Its just preventive to get rid of termites and insects from coming near, this is humid tropical country (Java). 

Just burn some in a can indoor. Its aromatherapy too i guess. Sometimes i burn cassia vera too. Very pleasant smell.

Hmm, now I wonder if it is citrus in general that may work.

Brought back  a harsh memory -I used to put orange peels in a blender then make a slurry out it that to use to help absorb urine and other nasty odors from apartments of some tenants that had moved out. Gads how some people live, whoa. Glad I am out of that business today.

No citrus here- my home is a little cat haven,cats are repelled by the scent of citrus( me too really)

But it's highly effective as a deterrent from things you don't want them near( but use sparingly or they'll avoid the room altogether,lol)

I have a friend who stops by occasionally & wears some kind of lemony orange body splash...my kitties head for the hills to avoid her! I can't understand why anyone would want to smell like an orange or a lemon?

Lots of scents. Cinammon and spruce are favorites.

Hi and a belated welcome to WCF.

I'd say no to my using any scents whatsoever; but then I have adult onset asthma too. But do whatever one wishes in one's own domain.

In general; there are no ESSENTIAL oils. That is a sales pitch adjective. Plus in group settings, like church worship, it can be sickening to have to smell someone's idea of a pleasant smell for an  hour or so while the nose blocks up and breathing becomes difficult.

In classrooms, those wall plug mounted dispensers of scent are now frowned upon and, though not by statute yet, banned by local Fire marshall inspectors- not so much  as a fire hazard ( They are), but because they are getting EMT emergency calls to schools for kids suffering asthma attacks in those teacher's classrooms where they have been using them.  

I once thought it a bright idea to have a scent dispenser in the school cafeteria dispensing an apple pie cinnamon aroma. The health inspector gave me a lecture and cited us on the basis that there can be NO items that may mask any unpleasant smell, same thing for restrooms, and classrooms. They all had better be clean (they were), odor free, without any item that masks anything causing odor.

Seems good policy overall to be clean not covered up; including for human bodies in public places theatres, churches, malls, etc. Want to smell sensuous? Maybe dusty rose powder or tigress worn while in church pews is not the time nor place, NOR is the sparkle powder that gets all over everything wherever a woman that uses it may go.  -End personal rant.

Like you I have asthma ( had it all my life ) and I also only have one lung so smells ,,,even pleasant ones are literally killers to me . I can no longer go to church nor use public transport and in supermarkets I have to avoid the aisles that have candles or strong smelling washing powders etc  NOT FUN . I even have to use the self service tills as far too often people in the queue will be smothered in what ever perfume they think is nice and I will be reaching for oxygen ... it can cause offence if you ask them to move back a bit no matter how nicely you ask  and you REALLY cant say .. " Excuse me can you please keep your distance as you stink " 

I cant even have flowers in the house or things like sweetpeas in the garden so I grow them till they are at the point of flowering then give them to my neighbour so he gets the fun of cutting them and having them indoors and  I get to see them without killing myself
