According to López-Sampson and Page (2018),
The Prophet Muhammad offers guidance to both men and women regarding the use of fragrance. He advises that men should bathe and apply perfume for the Friday sermon at the mosque, whereas women may use perfume at home but not in the mosque. Additionally, both men and women may use perfume during sexual intimacy (Thurkill 2009). It is well-documented that the Prophet Muhammad favoured the scent of aloes or a mixture of aloes and camphor (Book 27 no. 5601) (Sahih Muslim n.d.). The practice of burning incense in mosques was introduced by Umar, the second caliph, which led to its widespread adoption. Although there is no specific record of what was burnt, it is believed that aloes alone or in combination with camphor was used (Ergin 2014).
You can use incense to cast scent in the prayer room

Imran, a local Brisbane gentleman (in Kuaraby) told us that it was a great experience to smell this long lost scent. He came to Brisbane 15 years ago and has not experienced this scent since then until he came into Grandawood recently. We are honored to assist him with his emotion. He told us that when he smelled these agarwood chips, it brought back his childhood experience, he remembered the time spent with his mother when he was in Oman
