When you have to eliminate the smell of a corpse, it's rarely just a matter of "air." In practice, contact surfaces are often affected as well. Odors can cling to surfaces. They can penetrate porous materials. And they can linger longer in hard-to-reach areas.
That is precisely why it is important to distinguish between two approaches:
- Masking the odor: short-term effect, the cause remains.
- Eliminating the smell of death: Addressing the root cause plus hygienic stabilization
Those who want to permanently remove the smell of a corpse do not rely on fragrance, but on a clean, hygienic approach.
