freshener

Odor-eliminating product

A freshener is something that makes air, breath, or surfaces smell cleaner or more pleasant: air freshener, breath freshener, fabric freshener.

The word implies masking or neutralizing odors rather than cleaning the source.

Fresheners come as sprays, gels, strips, or plug-in devices.
