I use scent free Mitchum deodorant during hunting season. Does it help? I have no clue.
I use Arm & Hammer unscented deodorant 24/7/ 365, as I do unscented laundry soap.

Shower with coco butter soap, deer love the smell of it... She'll like it too ;)

Me too but I air dry my hunting apparel gear on the clothes line. Smells fresh add leaves thus the clothing becomes alive with the smell of Autumn.....Plus hanging clothes on the line reminds me of the days I helped mom as a kid. I had to pull the sheets off the line because I was not tall enough to reach the line...They would smell so fresh...
 
I have earth scent wafers I bought 15+ years ago......and they smell fresh to me. I have probably have over 2 dozen containers. Many don't get used every year or maybe miss a few years. Going to check them now as they came up in this post. Put few in with my hunting ready clothes.....
 
Decided to change some things up this year. Clothes no long go into the drier. Found out that everyday drier sheets leave a residue on your drier. This was found out due to an allergic reaction in the family. The scent can remain as long as 6 months after the last use...using scent wafers (earth) for the first time... After a really crappy year last season(1 doe). The only other thing I can think of to improve my chances is to leave the stinky little figet monsters at home ...lol but I love spending true quality time with them...I've also heard of a product called Deer Dander. Makes you smell like a deer. Never used it but it's getting good words on another forum.
 
Never tried Evercalm, but in general I am not for putting anything on my body that may attract a deer to look at me. Been there done that not a good result....If the product really works and one could put it on something that will entice the deer to look the other way as by rubbing it on a limb or sapling it could have merit.
 
I use evercalm, and it’s the only over the counter stuff I get. Every year I have deer bed under me where I placed the scent. No monsters, but young bucks and plenty of doe. Last year I wanted to get breakfast and a spike would not get up, so I pulled out an arrow unscrewed the head and dropped an arrow on its back.Poor little guy was scared to death.
 
This is interesting.I never tried it but I do smoke my cloths and I'm convinced it works.I'm a still hunter when rifle season rolls around and I've killed a bunch of bedded deer that I feel should have winded me.
