Will Scent Lok, unscented soaps, sprrecent suits, overall cleanliness, etc., etc., reduce the amount of scent disbursed? Absolutely. Will any of these reduce it enough to make a difference in whether you are winded? Not in my experience so therefore my opinion is it is all a waste of time/effort/resources. But As already mentioned, if it makes you feel more comfortable/prepared, who am I to say its wrong for you. Just not for me.
