Narrative:

On arrival into cvg from ZZZ, #1 to land on a downwind to base in cvg runway 36R visual approach. Captain xferred aircraft packs to the APU bleeds. Within 5-10 seconds, an odor was detected just like previous odor on the previous flight into ZZZ. Aircraft was around 3000 ft MSL. Captain immediately shut off all packs and bleeds and the odor started to cease in cockpit. Aircraft was now within 5 mi of the airport and cleared for the approach (visual runway 36R). Crew agreed to continue approach and landing. Flight attendant called the cockpit and said the odor was back again like previous flight. Captain briefed that aircraft would be landing normally within a min or so. A normal landing occurred and the aircraft cleared the runway to the ramp. After landing checks were done and first officer called maintenance center and ramp tower to notify of situation, approximately 1/2 way across the ramp the flight attendant called and told the first officer that she was uncomfortable due to the odor. There was no other traffic between us and the gate. We determined that we would be at the gate momentarily to safely deplane the passenger. Taxi was expedited. At the gate the cockpit door was opened and the odor was detected. Passenger quickly deplaned the aircraft and no passenger or crew required or requested any medical attention. Maintenance arrived at the aircraft and the aircraft was written up.
