Well, if I understand it correcly, it will not release the perfume, because of the hydrophilic properties, until water is added to it, or it is heated to the point where it becomes gaseous, but I could be wrong. Maybe this is why that manufacturer is working to get a new hunter's version???
If it smells, don't use it, and we should all look for a version that has no perfume> i'm thinking the stuff used in hospitals on wound care may be perfume free. Anyone now a medical supply salesman???
If they have a flower smelling verion it migh still work. Anyoen dar to field test it? Possibly on pened deer first. Someoen call a dee urine manufacturer or breeder.
Thyis iw how it is done. lt is called research and development. Watch, one of you guys will figure it out - and make a million bucks selling it.
But, I have a friend who is working on an even better ide, byut it may not be out until next year.
Here is an article I wrote a few years ago, which is stilll valid today.
Want to reduce odors while you hunt? Here is what you can do.
It is bacteria on the skin that produces the odor associated with human perspiration. What scent elimination products and clothing are trying to do is eliminate at least that smell. Obviously the best way to do that is to eliminate the bacteria; and bacteria needs moisture to grow. So - to reduce human perspiration body odor:
1. Use antibacterial soaps and shampoo, (that don't smell) every time - before you hunt.
2. Use an antibacterial spray, gel or lotion that will kill re-growth bacteria (it will only take an hour or more for bacteria to regrow and start to smell), on your clothing, and/or on you body (in areas where it is most likely to grow [which are areas that contain moisture]) such as your armpits, butt, groin and head, and beard (if you have one). This includes Scent Killer (by Wildlife Research), Sport Wash and N O Dor (by Atsko/Sno-Seal), Scent Shield (by Robinson Laboratories)
3. Use an unscented antibacterial deodorant (to reduce any odors you do produce later on - after bacterial re-growth).
4. Wear moisture wicking underwear, such as polypropelene, Under Amror etc. To keep body moisture to a minimum (so bacterial growth is slowed down)
5. Wear clothing with antibacterials, such as triclosan, mycosan, copper or silver, to kill re-growth bacteria (while you hunt). Clothing designed to kill bacteria, using mycosan, triclosan or silver, needs to be worn against the skin.
6.You can make your clothes smell like the local surroundings by putting them in an odor free container (paper bag), and throwing in leaves, needles or dirt form the area you hunt, when you get there.
7. Do not wear your hunting clothes, boots, gloves or hat until you get out of your vehicle, or wear them to the gas station or restaurant before you hunt, you may pick up scents that will spook the deer.
Activated carbon clothing (depending on how well it covers the entire surface of the fabric, and how thick of a layer it is) can help to reduce human perspiration (and other) odors, but probably only for 1-4 hours after it is first put on. So why waste your money?
And, there are other scents you come in contact with minute by minute, urine and Lysol or other cleaning products when you stopped and took a leak, gas on the concrete when you filled up or spilled on your hand, bacon grease from eating at home or worse yet all those smells at a restaurant. Dog odor, wife’s perfume, personal medications used, bad breath, toothpaste, air freshener in the vehicle - it is endless.
I can tell you the none manufacturer is working on a way to incorporate unscented cyclodextrene and an antibacterial, to be used on clothing, which may be out this year. But, maybe not, I’ll let you know as times goes on. I also know that there are some new chemicals out of China, that are supposed to encapsulate human odor. That would help, but only with human odor. We need something all encompassing, that would help reduce (nothing can completely eliminate all odors) a broad spectrum of human associated odors.
Or, maybe we should just keep real clean using the steps above, and play the wind.
