Yes spray some cologne in the dryer before closing that lid and starting the dryer cycle. Be careful to separate the men and women clothes before you try this and use men and women cologne for their respective clothes.
Happy laundering.

I read somewhere that white vinegar is supposed to leave clothes quite nice smelling.
Are there any Desi tricks though?

Take shower more often so clothes dont smell bad to begin with

A good quality detergent in an unstuffed washer should do the job. Then use fabric softener sheets in the dryer.
