Added scent compounds — used to mask an odor by covering it, not to remove it.
Fragrance makes a space smell better by adding a scent on top of what’s there. It doesn’t act on the odor compounds — it overwhelms your perception of them. The underlying odor keeps being released; when the fragrance fades, it’s still there.
Useful for a quick lift. Not a fix for a persistent odor source.
