Usually it is NOT a fragrance at all. It's a high tech chemical that flat out stops you from smelling the target stench. It's insanely effective and the chemical companies charge a bundle for it. It's used in many places.

Many US landfills use it in misting systems. You can buy systems to snuff out most noxious odors. Often places that have a lot of garbage like a large apartment complex can install units. The units often have wind detection to shut down the expensive spray if the wind blows hard enough to dilute the bad odors or if the prevailing wind blows the stink away from any complainers.

If they are using the smell quenching chemical in that truck above, then the amount they're spraying would knock down a huge amount of putricity.
