Where you notice it first
Hugging them goodbye. Helping them out of a chair. The car coming back from an appointment. The guest bed, weeks after anyone slept in it.
For loved ones
You noticed. You didn't know what to say.
You noticed it during a hug, or in the guest room. Noticing isn't the same as judging.

What to actually say
"I found something that makes the room feel fresher. Want to try it with me?"
"These wipes are for the days a shower is a whole project."
"I'll leave a bottle here so I stop hauling stuff back and forth."
Say it once and let it go. If they say not today, that's an answer.
Where to leave it
Put the spray wherever you spend the most time together. Leave the wipes somewhere they can reach without asking anyone. If other people help with care, leave a note by the kit so nobody mistakes it for perfume.
