fragrancing
Infusing with scent
Fragrancing is the act of adding scent to something—a product, a space, a person.
The cosmetics and home goods industries use the term for incorporating fragrance into candles, lotions, cleaning products, and the like: We're fragrancing this line with lavender and eucalyptus.
The word appears most often in commercial and manufacturing contexts.
