A contact efficiency between a fragrance material and body fluid is increased, fragrance is effectively generated by a small amount of the fragrance material, and a manufacturing step is simplified.Including an absorbent body (6) in which a defibrated fluff pulp (5), defibrated from a pulp raw fabric sheet (4), is fiber stacked, wherein a fragrance material (3) is added to the pulp raw fabric sheet (4) before being defibrated. A manufacturing method includes a paper making step of obtaining, after forming a wet paper sheet (2) from a source material (2) and adding a fragrance material (3) to the wet paper sheet (2), a pulp raw fabric sheet (4) by dehydrating and drying the wet paper sheet (2), and a processing step of an absorbent article of defibrating the pulp raw fabric sheet (4) and manufacturing an absorbent body (6) by fiber stacking this defibrated fluff pulp (5).
