And that would be because it's not the scent that you folks are allergic to. The scent is not even the part of the flower that people are generally allergic to. It's a chemical component in the (usually spray) air freshener. And, with flowers it's usually the pollen in particulate form.
Most of the time (repeat MOST, not all), you can use the solid types of air freshener without any problem (even if they are scented ... unless the sufferer has developed a psychological problem with the scent after years of having their immune system go nuts when they smell that particular scent .... yes, it happens).
