Abstract: A scented article of manufacture, such as a bowling ball, including a mass of polymeric material. The mass of polymeric material is substantially nonporous and may be substantially rigid. Polyurethane may be used as the polymeric material. A method by which the article of manufacture is formed includes blending fragrance with a liquid or liquified material, substantially removing gas and gas bubbles from the mixture of fragrance and liquid or liquified material, introducing the mixture into a cavity of a mold, and permitting or causing at least the liquid or liquified material within the cavity to cure.

Abstract: A bowling ball including a spherical mass and at least one fragrance in at least a portion of the spherical mass. The at least one fragrance may be dispersed throughout or embedded in the spherical mass. A pigment may also be included in the spherical mass to impart the bowling ball with a color. The color of the pigment may correspond to a scent of the fragrance. A bowling ball including a mass comprising a polymer and at least one fragrance included in at least a portion of the mass is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bowling ball including a rubber material and at least one fragrance. The rubber material may be substantially nonporous and substantially rigid. Polyurethane may be used as the rubber material. The bowling ball may, optionally, include a pigment. A method by which the bowling ball is formed includes dissolving the fragrance in a polyol, adding a catalyst, introducing the mixture into a mold, and polymerizing the mixture.
