You might try putting the scarf on a paper towel in a pan of baking soda and sealing it all in a plastic bag for a day or so. Baking soda will often remove scents. Also, putting it on a white cloth in a window that gets sunlight all day, might help - the sun is a natural deodorizer.
Is there any reason you are so averse to washing?
I have searched but not found a solution to this issue - resale scarves that have a scent. Is there any way to get rid of the scent without washing? I am loathe to wash a scarf just to try to get rid of the perfume of a previous owner.
I sprayed the inner lid of one scarf box with my own perfume to try to cover the other scent, and now my scarf smells like both perfumes. I rarely wear any scent at all or use scented products, so when I wear the two resale scarves I've bought, I am scent-conscious all day.
The obvious answer going forward is to only purchase from the boutique, but then I would never be able to buy any lovely retired designs. I am hoping there is an easy solution.
Also on nice cold sunny windless days I lay smelly scarves out in the snow. A great trick from an old rug dealer.
I once bought a scarf from eBay that came from a smoking home (seller did not mention this). It smelled TERRIBLE. I took it to a dry cleaner recommended by Hermes in my local area and it came back without any smell. I was thrilled.I have searched but not found a solution to this issue - resale scarves that have a scent. Is there any way to get rid of the scent without washing?

Linen experts swear by putting washed linens on the grass on the sunlight to make them sparkling white.
I hand wash my C/S shawls in cold water and very diluted Laundress Cashmere shampoo.hi there,
i know this is an old thread, but i`m desperately seeking advice on washing cashmere/silk gm`s! is there anyone who actually dared to wash her beauties in the washing maschine? with a delicate silk/wool program of course?
my maschine has a great wool program, which can be done in cold water or 30°C,
and i`m washing all my cashmere sweaters with it. but for my gm`s i`m not sure,
if they`ll survive...but like many others in this thread i don`t like the dry cleaning smell, so i`d love to handwash them. until now i have been avoiding the cleaning
completely, but now some of my gm`s urgently need a clean, so i`d be more than thankful for any shared expierence on this.
thx in advance!!!
