Yea, the peroxide thing threw me too. I've made it only with the brown bottle stuff (as has most everyone else I know that tried it) and it still does the job. Last year I used it from the start of the season to the end, and after seeing many, many deer, I heard a snort only on the one day I didn't use it. That day it was 15 below and I wasn't going to wet myself down with anything!

The purpose of this is to keep the cost down, so I'll probably keep using the brown bottle stuff and refreshing the solution from time to time. I've got no reason to change my ways given my confidence in it.

On another note, I'm not sure if it was your thread, but someone had put a way too much peroxide in their solution. This would obviously make it smell stronger than needed. My solution smells very much like the Hunters Specialties green liquid soap that I use, and once applied to my skin or equipment, it has no smell at all.
