Air fresheners are devices that disperse chemicals which emit fragrances to mask or eliminate unpleasant odors.
The Ancient Egyptians used an early form of air freshener. Having learned how to use a still to extract the scent from flower petals, the natural oils were burned to scent the air of temples, private homes, and royal palaces.
Air fresheners were in some cases misapplied when introduced in Britain in the 1950s. The manufacturers of Airwick, a freshener operated by withdrawing and exposing an impregnated pad from a bottle of liquid, found it necessary to include in the instructions for use: 'Do not try to light wick. Wick will not burn."
Chemist Julius Samann invented Little Tree air fresheners when his milkman complained about the smell of spoiled milk in his delivery truck.
A Baltimore school was evacuated in October 2017 and hazardous materials crews were called due to a strange odor. The source of the smell was a pumpkin spice air freshener.
