I think if you put some lilac where the smell is, it might take it out. But I'm not sure. Actually, there are several good ways to remove the odor. First and least expensive, if available to you, hang your clothes outside in the sun and air to "air out" for at least a day. Maybe more if they have been in storage a long time. Second, place clothing in a trash bag with several dryer sheets overnight to take out odor. Third, you can place clothing in closed trunk with charcoal briquets to remove the odor, this is hazardous because of the transfer of oils and is not widely recommended. If you don't like these methods there are deodorizers on the market you could purchase. Be aware not to dry these items in a dryer with heat until the odor is removed or it will SET the odor making it almost impossible to remove. Also DO NOT iron, or use STEAM as this will also SET the odor. Wait until items are deodorized using one of the above methods.
