'Duftstoff' is made up of 'Duft' (scent) and 'Stoff' (substance). It therefore refers to a substance that creates a scent or gives a product its scent.
Auf der Verpackung steht, dass das Produkt natürliche Duftstoffe enthält.
The packaging says that the product contains natural fragrances.
Common combinations include 'natürliche Duftstoffe' (natural fragrances), 'künstliche Duftstoffe' (artificial fragrances), and 'Duftstoffe enthalten' (to contain fragrances). 'Duftstoffe zusetzen' (to add fragrances) is also used especially in product descriptions.
Viele Waschmittel enthalten künstliche Duftstoffe.
Many detergents contain artificial fragrances.
'Duftstoff' is particularly common in product descriptions, on packaging, and in texts about cosmetics, detergents, or chemical products. The word often refers to an individual ingredient or a group of substances within a product.

Some people are sensitive to certain fragrances in cosmetics.
