I for won do not understand the current trend towards "scent" laundering

49. There is plenty of evidence that fragrances lower air quality and pose health risks.

Even in baby products! From the linked article:
In a study of 42 fragranced baby products, over six hundred emitted VOCs were detected, of which approximately one-third are potentially hazardous. These VOCs comprised different chemical classes but predominated the fragrance compounds limonene, α-pinene, linalool, β-myrcene β-pinene, and acetaldehyde (additive/fragrance), and the solvents (ethanol, acetone).

And even in products labeled as green or natural:
"...For instance, Potera [48] pointed out that “Scented Products Emit a Bouquet of VOCs”, with over a hundred VOCs found in dozens of “green”, “natural”, or “organic” PCHPs, of which more than twenty of them classified as “toxic” or “hazardous”, but none disclosed on products labels, except for one product. The most frequent VOCs found were terpenes (limonene, α- and β-pinene), ethanol, acetone, and carcinogenic chemicals like acetaldehyde, 1,4-dioxane, formaldehyde, or methylene chloride. In an experimental determination with cleaning products and air fresheners containing terpenoids and glycol ethers in a ventilated controlled 50 m3 room, the concentrations of d-limonene, dihydromyrcenol, linalool, linalyl acetate, and beta-citronellol emitted were several times higher (~35–180 mg/day during three days) than the air (average air concentration ~30–160 μg/m3) when the products were in use [34]. Glycol ethers are regulated toxic air contaminants, and terpenes can react with ozone to form secondary pollutants."
