PSA: keep essential oils away from your cats. Don’t pit them in them, and especially don’t use those vaporizers. Most of those oils are toxic to cats. If you want your house to smell nice, burn incense.
If you don’t have cats, go wild; there’s nothing wrong with the oils themselves, and they smell nice. But many are toxic to cats, and it can be hard to get a complete list of which.
Neither are going to protect or cure you of anything (except, perhaps, a cat infestation), but scent can be nice.
So, of course there’s absolutely preference, but there’s only one hard rule about incense: you have to be the inner burning it. Walking into a room full of incense that someone else picked and burned is rarely fun. Strong scents like that depend a lot on mood to be pleasing. It’s like a curry at the office: if you’re the one having it, it can smell great, but walking into a break room filled with the smell of someone else’s curry they just heated in the microwave can be nauseating.

Incense and smelling nice is combination I never thought I’d see.
