About Febreze
Febreze is an odour-eliminating spray Procter & Gamble launched in 1996, using cyclodextrin, a ring-shaped molecule that traps odour compounds rather than masking them. The launch nearly failed until the company added a perceptible scent, because consumers did not believe a product that left no trace had worked.
