Spray air fresheners and plug in chemical air fresheners can contain toxic ingredients.  Scented paraffin candles produce soot which can be inhaled into the lungs and cause health problems.  Commercial candles have other unhealthy properties and ingredients.  There’s also still a risk of finding lead core wicks in candles imported from China and elsewhere.  So when you add it all up, homemade is just safer.
