If you fart in a spacesuit, where does it go? Nowhere, it just lingers. Trapped in the suit. Bummer. Not good given that in a few years most humble couch potatoes will be up there at some point.
Now, if your suit had a heat activated sensor (or a movement activated one connected directly to your sphincter)
any motion would trigger the release of a fragrance of the astronaut's choice. Lavender, Sandalwood and so on, thus countering the whiff and ensuring a pleasurable time.
As an added bonus, the sensor could record the emission and play it back to fellow Space Tourists during times of boredom. : D

"Hey, Terence, you know what my spacesuit smells like?"
"No, what, Phillip?"
"It smells like a dirty fart! Ahahahahahahaha!"

The spacesuits do have atmospheric cleansers, so this is rather pointless. |

That's going to be nothing compared to the prevalent smell of really stale air that exists on all space-stations. That, together with the constant feeling of falling and the effects on your stomach means that flatulent smells will be one of the last things on your mind. |

The glorious expanse of the universe will smell like feet. |
