Default Looking at a flat...any idea what this smell is?

Cough drops? Vick VapoRub? Linament?

I was just looking at an upstairs 2BR flat that was visually beautiful.
All new super-modern kitchen, beautiful two-tone paint throughout. Garage
and washer/dryer (not just the hookups) were included.

However...there is this menthol-ish smell that is present throughout the
place. The owners assured me there were no cats/smokers in there
previously, but I'm not so sure. I looked at another place many years ago
that was similar and turned out it was owned by a lady with like 100 cats
that ****ed everywhere.

Is there any product used to cover up either odor that might have a
menthol-ish odor? I realize it's difficult to ask this without actually
experiencing it, but I'm hoping there's some commonly used product that has
this smell.

Note that the place has nice (apparently redone) wood floors.

TIA, Pat
