Like any good perfume, it's more complicated than that.

Ah yes, Richard, but you will notice that the page you cite says the
deodorizing agent of choice is - household bleach!

I have destinked several propane bottles with bleach. You aren't going to
get very far telling me it doesn't work, because it does. Maybe it doesn't
get out every last molecule, but bleach/hot water makes it usable again.

Really.
