Charcoal is the absolute best odor absorber. I have the perfect solution. It is an unscented product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a littler purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Put one or two in the cabinet. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. I use this product everywhere including car, storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying

Make sure there isn't something creating moisture/mold in the cabinet. You can put a small lunch sack full of rice in there to keep normal moisture levels down and spread a box of baking-soda around the shelves and leave it for a few days. Vacuum it up and hopefully the smell will be gone. Fabreze is also an option. Old shelf paper can hold onto odors so get rid of that too.

If it was me I would go to my local hardware or Bed Bath and Beyond store and purchase scented wood like cedar and apple. If the odor is very strong I would take a solution on water, bleach, and dish soap and thoroughly clean the cabniets.

When we moved into our house the cabinets were stinky and really disgusting. My husband painted them with Kiltz 2 Latex interior/exterior water based sealer-primer-stainblocker, and I put in new shelf paper. They not only look great but they are no longer stinky. That stuff just sealed all that grossness right in. They are stained wood cabinets and the white looks really good. I wasn't so sure when he was doing it, but am really happy with it now.

You may have water getting in somewhere. Take them off the wall and repair the leak, then replace with new cabinets.

Open a box of baking soda in them.
