An odor or odour (see spelling differences) is caused by one or more volatilized chemical compounds, generally at a very low concentration, that humans or other animals perceive by the sense of olfaction. Odors are also called smells, which can refer to both pleasant and unpleasant odors. The terms fragrance, scent, and aroma are used primarily by the food and cosmetic industry to describe a pleasant odor, and are sometimes used to refer to perfumes. In contrast, malodorous, stench, reek, and stink are used specifically to describe unpleasant odors.

Terminology

In the United Kingdom, "odour" refers to scents in general. In the US, "odor" has a more negative connotation; "scent" or "aroma" are used for pleasant smells.

How do I get rid of the scent in my home?
Q. I've only had my new house for about 2 months, but my friends tell me that they can smell "my scent really well in the house" . I know most homes have a warm scent of people, but how can I get rid of this, its really bugging me. My friend wasn't being mean, she was saying she can smell my scent lol :)

A. I don't really understand the question, when you say your scent do you mean perfume , or your body smell, if it's the latter whats wrong with that? I'm sure your friends didn't mean the comments in a negative way, I'm sure they meant the house has a warm smell of you! If your really not happy with the way the house smells, then I would have thought any good quality air freshener would sort it, another good tip, is to make fresh coffee a couple of times a day, the smell of roast coffee beans, is always a delicious smell to come home to! Good luck with the new house!!!

How to remove Lysol scent from leather couch?
Q. I have a black leather couch (non suede or nubuck). I used some Lysol "Crisp Linen" scent on the couch to remove some smoke odor that was on it from my brother (leather cleaner wouldn't get rid of it). The Lysol removed the smoke odor, but now I have "Crisp Linen" scent on my couch - how do I remove the scent? Should I just keep using leather cleaner and conditioner to break it down? Thanks.

A. Try using an enzyme based cleaner. I use BIZ which is found in the laundry section of the grocery store. Use hot water to dissolve the powder and then wipe down the leather with a saturated rag. Towel dry and repeat if needed. It got cat pee off my leather sofa.
