Odor Molecule — Glossary

A single volatile compound — pet odor is a mixture of many of them released by different residues.

Each odor note is a molecule: ammonia from urine, fatty acids from skin oils, microbial compounds from moisture. Pet odor isn’t one molecule — it’s a mixture, which is why one product rarely addresses all of it.

Reducing the odor means reducing the residues releasing the molecules.
