odorizing
Infusing with fragrance
Odorizing is the process of adding a detectable smell to something that would otherwise be odorless.
The most common application is adding a sulfur-like scent to natural gas, which has no smell of its own, so leaks can be detected: Utility companies are required to odorize gas before distribution.
