nonscented

Nonscented refers to a product that does not contain added fragrances or perfumes. This term is often used in the context of personal care products, cleaning supplies, and other household items. While "nonscented" implies the absence of any smell, it is important to note that many nonscented products may still possess a faint, inherent odor from their raw ingredients. This natural scent is not a result of added fragrance.

The distinction between "nonscented" and "unscented" is sometimes blurred. Generally, "unscented" products have been formulated to completely eliminate any odor, either by using ingredients that are naturally odorless or by incorporating masking agents. "Nonscented," on the other hand, primarily signifies that no fragrance has been intentionally added. Products labeled nonscented are often chosen by individuals who are sensitive to perfumes, have allergies, or prefer products without artificial scents. This can include items like lotions, soaps, laundry detergents, and air fresheners. Consumers seeking a truly odorless experience may need to look for products specifically labeled "unscented." The presence of natural odors in nonscented items is typically very subtle and not considered a fragrance.
