    "4. Fragrances
    "This attribute does not refer to natural odors which are
    associated with cleaning agents (e.g., a lemon odor in a
    citrus-based cleaner). It refers instead to fragrances
    that are added to the formulation to improve its odor or
    to mask an offensive odor.
    
    While fragrances added to a formulation have little cleaning
    value, they may provide aesthetic benefits important to
    many users. On the other hand, some people prefer
    products without added fragrances. A basic principle of
    pollution prevention is to avoid additives that are
    unnecessary. A "Yes" indicates that fragrances
    have been added; a "No" indicates that they
    have not been added.
