昔のフランス人の貴族は用を足した後は、香水で匂いをごまかしていた
French nobles used to cover their bad smells by using perfume after they finished what they needed to do.
(用を足す=I wrote 'They finished what they needed to do'. Was it correct? to need to do here means to pee and poop around)
(匂いをごまかす= I wrote 'cover their smell. Was it correct? I mean they tried to change the bad smell to good one by using perfume)

It sounds mostly ok.
I would say "to cover the smell" - it doesn't sound so personal or unpleasant that way.
