Default Anyone use scent neutralizers? Particularly Scent-A-Way

I bought this stuff called Scent-A-Way human scent neutralizer. It smells just like black dirt and leaves to me, which is good, but I know deer have a keener sense than we do. This isn't going to spook the deer is it?

I have my clothes it tubberware with ceder shavings and leaves, which will do most of the work.

I normally use scent neutralizers;however, I've had deer to smell me while using the neutralizers and I've had deer to walk within a few feet of me without alarm when I did not use the neutralizers. Do they work? I'm not entirely convinced, but I typically use them just to err on the side of caution.

IMO they work. However, you can't just use it the day of the hunt without taking many other precautions (changing diet, keeping equipment scent free, etc)...

That's all I use...other than some HS Scent wafers I keep in with my clothes in the bins. I smell like a handful of leaves and dirt.

I spray pretty much everything but my gun (or bow)...especially my seats on my stands and my boots.

I've taken deer with and without....if it doesn't work, call me a sucker for marketing.
