#aromatic oils

Yes fumigation was practiced in ancient Greece. Not only do we have a really complex perfume making (and yes as you said we have oils as a base given that alcohol-based perfumes with the evidence we have so far is a relatively modern invention a few hundreds of years old) but they also used smoke scents or smelling salts for various of reasons from pest control till even aroma-therapy and of course purifying the room. Doctors like Hippocrates includes in his work the use of fumigation to assist the healing processes. Some of his suggestions are of course pretty much outdated till problematic such as his suggestions on the "wandering womb" theory that he also suggested using oils or smells to counter it till some more logical ones.

Aromatic oils, frankincense, myrrh, resins and many more were traditionally used to repel insects, purify the halls and generally create a more pleasant atmosphere in the home. Practices of burning stuff for purification is also shown in the Odyssey when Odysseus orders for sulfur to be burnt to purify the halls from the murder of the suitors. Greeks believed the foul smell of sulfur sends away the miasma hence also the use of it in cases of murder or death in the home. Perfumes were also used on the body after the bath but also on the bedsheets and the clothes after the cleaning process. The cleaning material itself was of course for the freshness but the perfumes to those who could afford it was also added to add to that.

So when Odysseus or any other figure mention in the Odyssey "sweet smelling bed" or "sweet smelling chambers" etc they are probably being literal given that the perfumes were probably used not only on people but also on the clothes, on the bedsheets or even the room itself
