My grandpa used to use that stuff briefly, some old timer told him about it. I personally took one whiff of it and decided it would be no where near my hunting clothes. It didn't smell like trees or anything to me, it smelled like a strong chemical. I would guess that if a person had luck with it, they were hunting ground that had just been timbered recently and had gas and oil cans still sitting around. The turpentine would then be just another fumey substance in the air.
