Scented textiles

Synthetic musks are also desirable in consumer products because of their fixative properties. Much as they are classified into these two groups, the members within each group of synthetic musks are quite diverse and do not have a common chemical stmctme. Thus, even within each group, musks cannot be tmated as a single entity in terms of characteristics except for the musky scent common to aU musks. Cosmetics application and absorption from textiles is a major somce of HHCB and AHTN, materials that end up in the environment (Cadby et al., 2002).

Strong odors arising from the skin and wounds, or as a result of incontinence, are problematic and can be unpleasant for both patients emitting odors and those in close proximity with them, such as carers, family members, etc. To solve this problem, textile materials can be used to control odor through a number of mechanisms, such as absorption of odorous volatiles, release of antimicrobial agents, and dispersal of scents. 

In essence, an odor-management strategy considers both the cause of odor generation and the management of odor with textile-based materials. Firstly, odor control can be achieved through the use of antimicrobial materials to control the growth of bacteria and fungi. Secondly, absorbent materials can be incorporated into textiles to absorb malodor and odorous volatiles. Thirdly, textile materials can be used to disperse scents to mask the malodor. These methods are described below.
