1 . A fragrance adhesive tape comprising:

an adhesive tape comprised of an adhesive layer having an adhesive and a base layer having at least one surface and at least one edge, and

a fragrance.

2 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive tape further comprises a scrim.

3 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 1 , wherein the fragrance is present on the adhesive tape on the at least one surface, at least one edge, or a combination thereof.

4 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 1 , wherein the fragrance is present in the adhesive of the adhesive layer.

5 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive tape is in a form of a roll, a sheet, or a die-cut shape.

6 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 1 , wherein the fragrance is in a form of an oil.

7 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 6 , wherein the oil is encapsulated by a powder particle.

8 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 6 , wherein the oil is encapsulated in a gelatin capsule.

9 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 1 , wherein the fragrance is in the form of a powder.

10 . The fragrance adhesive tape according to claim 1 , wherein the fragrance is present in a liquid medium applied to the adhesive tape.

11 . A fragrance duct tape comprising:

a duct tape comprised of an adhesive, a scrim, and a polymer layer having at least one edge and at least one surface, and

a fragrance.

12 . The fragrance duct tape according to claim 11 , wherein the fragrance is present on the adhesive tape on at least one surface, at least one edge, or a combination thereof.

13 . The fragrance duct tape according to claim 11 , wherein the fragrance is present in the adhesive of the adhesive layer.

14 . The fragrance duct tape according to claim 11 , wherein the adhesive tape is in a form of a roll, a sheet, or a die-cut shape.

15 . The fragrance duct tape according to claim 11 , wherein the fragrance is in a form of an oil.

16 . The fragrance duct tape according to claim 15 , wherein the oil is encapsulated by a powder particle.

17 . The fragrance duct tape according to claim 15 , wherein the oil is encapsulated in a gelatin capsule.

18 . The fragrance duct tape according to claim 11 , wherein the fragrance is in a form of a powder.

19 . The fragrance duct tape according to claim 11 , wherein the fragrance is present in a liquid medium applied to the adhesive tape.

20 . A method of making a fragrance adhesive tape, the method comprising:

applying a fragrance to an adhesive tape comprised of a base layer and an adhesive layer.

21 . The method according to claim 20 , wherein the adhesive tape further comprises a scrim.

22 . The method according to claim 20 , wherein the base layer is a polymer layer.

23 . The method according to claim 20 , wherein the fragrance is in a form of a powder.

24 . The method according to claim 20 , wherein the fragrance is in a form of an oil.

25 . The method according to claim 20 , wherein the fragrance is in a liquid medium.

26 . A method of making a fragrance adhesive tape, the method comprising:

providing a fragrance oil and an inert powder material,

encapsulating the fragrance oil with the inert material to form an encapsulated powder particle,

applying the encapsulated powder particle to a surface or an edge of an adhesive tape.

27 . The method according to claim 26 , wherein the adhesive tape is a duct tape.

28 . The method according to claim 26 , wherein the adhesive tape is in the form of a roll, sheet, or a die-cut shape.

29 . The method according to claim 26 , wherein the particle is applied in a bath.

30 . The method according to claim 26 , wherein the inert powder material comprises a sugar, starch, gelatin, cellulose, or a combination thereof.

31 . A method of making a fragrance adhesive tape, the method comprising:

providing a fragrance oil,

forming drops of the fragrance oil,

submerging the drops of the fragrance oil in a gelatin bath to form gelatin capsules comprising the fragrance oil, and

applying the gelatin capsules with a carrier to a surface or an edge of an adhesive tape.

32 . The method according to claim 31 , wherein the adhesive tape is a duct tape.

33 . The method according to claim 31 , wherein the adhesive tape is in the form of a roll, sheet, or die-cut shape.

34 . The method according to claim 31 , further comprising treating the gelatin capsules with an adhesive.

35 . The method according to claim 31 , further comprising spraying the gelatin capsules with the carrier on a surface or an edge of an adhesive tape.

36 . The method according to claim 31 , wherein the carrier is water or a water-based solution.

37 . The method according to claim 36 , wherein the gelatin capsules and water are in a slurry having a weight percent of solids in a range of 50% to 80%.

38 . The method according to claim 37 , wherein the weight percentage of solids is in a range of 65% to 75% solids.

39 . The method according to claim 31 , wherein the weight percent of core material in the gelatin capsule is in a range of 30% to 65%.

40 . The method according to claim 39 , wherein the weight percent of core material in the gel capsule is in a range of 45% to 60%.

41 . A method of making an adhesive tape, the method comprising:

providing an inert powder material and an additive in a form of an oil,

encapsulating the additive with the inert material to form an encapsulated powder particle,

applying the encapsulated powder particle to a surface or an edge of an adhesive tape.

42 . The method according to claim 41 , wherein the adhesive tape is a duct tape.

43 . The method according to claim 41 , wherein the adhesive tape is in the form of a roll, sheet, or a die-cut shape.

44 . The method according to claim 41 , wherein the particle is applied in a bath.

45 . The method according to claim 41 , wherein the oil is a fragrance oil.

46 . A method of making an adhesive tape, the method comprising:

providing an additive in a form of an oil,

forming drops of the oil,

submerging the drops of the oil in a gelatin bath to form gelatin capsules comprising the oil, and

applying the gelatin capsules to a surface or an edge of an adhesive tape.

47 . The method according to claim 46 , wherein the adhesive tape is a duct tape.

48 . The method according to claim 46 , wherein the adhesive tape is in the form of a roll, sheet, or die-cut shape.
