FIL: Ang paglalagay ng pabango sa sarili o sa iba; ang pagiging sanhi na magkaroon ng mabangong amoy ang isang bagay.
EN: to apply perfume; to have something scented
Two modes: 1) The verb form of "freshen up," usually before a date or an important meeting. "Wait lang, *magpapabango* lang ako." 2) The causative version, like asking the laundry shop to add extra fabric conditioner, para *magpabango* ng mga damit. It's the act of making things smell less like struggle and more like success.
From `mag-` + `pa-` + `bango` (fragrance).
Can be reflexive (applying to oneself) or causative (having something else scented).
