How remove odor from interconnect?

@winoguy17 I noticed the smell when I opened the zip lock bag that they were sent in, but I assumed it was just temporary.  I then listened to the cables and they sound fine.  But when I walked into my listening room the next morning (a spare bedroom) the smell was abundant and easily traced to the cables.  I placed them in the laundry room so the bedroom could air out, and then the laundry room reeked shortly thereafter.  I've tried airing them out outside for days but no luck.  My wife smells them just by walking by.

Actually, Fabreze may be what was used on the cables and that smell will just not leave.  I never liked the smell of Fabreze.  The odor is similar to cologne.

@carlsbad2 You're probably right, they will soon be in the trash.

I will try the coffee grounds and WD40 methods and try cooking them at a higher temperature and longer and then give it up.

I'm giving @viridian 's vinegar suggestion a go.  I remember years ago when I had rental properties that a previous tenant's hallway had a strong urine odor.  I read that treating the area with a solution of baking soda and then later treating the same area with a solution of vinegar neutralized the smell, and it worked.  I also appreciate @mitch2 's same experience, maybe we purchased from the same seller.  If vinegar doesn't fix it, I'll just hang them outside or in the garage and check on them occasionally.

Thanks for everyone's comments!

Yes, that was my case also.  I can't say for sure it was cologne but definitely a strong smell.  I previously stated an aromatic smell, but the dictionary defines aromatic as a pleasant smell.  After a few cycles of soaking with vinegar, rinsing and then baking in a toaster oven, the smell is barely there, only when my nose is about an inch away.  Initially I could smell them just walking in the room.  They are now usable, and I have them in my system now.  I suspect any remaining odor will subside.  Thanks to all for your suggestions!
