Hi,
The Dettol is antiseptic and it's inhalation of the fragrance is not much harmful.
But it's not advisable to regularly inhale the smell of it. Sometime it can lead irritation to respiratory tract and so infection like bronchitis.
So don't take inhalation of it regularly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
