In Germany, air fresheners are utilized in a wide range of interior areas, including residences, offices, retail, restaurants, hotels, and public institutions like schools and hospitals. The precise locations where air fresheners are most widely used may be determined by factors like as the type of space, the activities that take place there, and the inhabitants' preferences. Air fresheners are commonly utilized in houses in places such as restrooms, kitchens, and living rooms, where unpleasant scents are more frequent. Some individuals use air fresheners in their beds, especially if they want to sleep with a specific aroma in the air. Air fresheners may be used in business locations such as stores and restaurants to create a nice and attractive ambiance for consumers. Air fresheners are widely applied in hotel guest rooms and public spaces to create a pleasant and relaxing environment for guests. Air fresheners may be used in toilets and other locations where scents are an issue in public institutions such as schools and hospitals. Nonetheless, due to concerns about the possible health and environmental effects of synthetic perfumes, these establishments may choose not to employ air fresheners in some situations. Air fresheners are used in a wide range of indoor spaces in Germany, and their use is often influenced by factors such as personal preferences, cultural norms, and concerns about air quality and odor control.

The German Federal Environmental Agency (UBA) performed a research on residential air quality in 2020 and discovered that many air fresheners produce dangerous elements, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can contribute to indoor air pollution. According to the findings, several air fresheners included significant quantities of formaldehyde and other potentially hazardous substances. The UBA suggested that customers use air fresheners with natural smells, such as essential oils, and avoid those with synthetic perfumes or chemicals as a consequence of the study. To enhance indoor air quality, the EPA also encouraged people to use air fresheners sparingly and to ventilate their houses on a regular basis. In reaction to the UBA's findings, several German stores have begun to remove synthetic fragranced air fresheners from their shelves in favour of more natural options. In order to lessen their environmental effect, several firms are introducing new air freshener products that incorporate plant-based components and eco-friendly packaging. Overall, the UBA study has ignited a debate in Germany about the possible health and environmental effects of air fresheners, leading to increased awareness and demand for safer, more sustainable goods in this category.
