They smell nice, if you put them in those burner thing, they have that going to them.

Some also do have specific use cases where they work really well, like Tea Tree Oil for acne and nail fungus or Peppermint oil for nausea. Most of them don't do anything though.

Clove oil is a decent anti-mildew agent. I have used it in a past apartment, and use it on my boat to knock out the mildew scent.

Eucalyptus is good for clearing your nose as well.

Some are toxic to animals so always check before burning them around your pets

See I think they smell awful, and feels like they rip the oxygen out of the air.

You might be using too much, do you dilute it with water?

I think it's straight up a me thing, I find most perfume overpowering etc, Have def been around all forms of oil diffusers etc, always to the same result, I wish I enjoyed them, everyone seems to like them so much.
