Ever since we spilled kerosene on the carpet of our SUV, we have used this method to get rid of undesirable odors with good outcomes. Pour about 1" of cheap clay kitty litter on the spill, in the drawers, or spread on shelves. Spread it out, close drawers and let sit for a few days. Remove litter, repeat again as necessary. I would also apply to undersides of drawers in same manner. Smell should go away. If it doesn't, I am afraid that I wouldn't add any fabric as it will absorb the smell even if it doesn't seem strong.
I am sure that this needn't be said, but don't ever add any fabric with odors to your stash as in no time at all it will all smell bad.
