Aircraft
While on flight X in Aircraft X; we experienced a fume event leveling off at 11;000 ft. The sweet magic marker type smell was noticed by both the Captain and the First Officer. The First Officer continued to fly the aircraft while the Captain began the checklist. A call was made to the Flight Attendants to ascertain if they noticed the smell. One Flight Attendant said that she smelled the same smell in the front galley. It appeared that the smell was dissipating. On short final the odor returned to the Cockpit. The aircraft landed safely in ZZZ without further incident. A logbook entry was made and Maintenance was notified.
Air Carrier flight crew reported a fume event during descent which was characterized as a 'sweet magic marker type' odor. While the flight crew was proceeding with the appropriate QRH procedure the odor dissipated only to return on short final.
