I don't understand why you'd want anything in your house to release smells independently of delivering some essential function. I find it distracting at best, and headache-inducing at worst. Cosmetic products are particularly offensive. Let this study serve as a call to eliminate stinky products!

I agree wholeheartedly. The more unnatural the scent the more it impacts me. Cinnamon is tolerable but as we trend towards “beach day bonfire” it creates a feeling in my olfactory system similar to tasting something sickly sweet. I think it ties back to my brain smelling what I expect to be eating.

Generally the "pleasant" odor is meant to cover up some combination of "unpleasant" odors. It's nice when the area around a liter box doesn't smell like cat piss.

I would counter that it now smells like a combination of perfume and cat piss

Well if it's weighted heavily enough towards the perfume side that's still preferable.
