No aroma trick used by stage actors who couldn't wash costumes in between performances: vodka in a spray bottle. I've tried it for jeans and can confirm it 100% removes odors. I wash my clothes, but it is a great "emergency" solution for laundry day. The vodka dries very quickly and you're on your way.

And then nobody can smell the vodka on your breath!

Ha, I wonder how that works. Maybe the alcohol kills off, err, "aromatic" bacteria?
