RE: scent blocker suit?
Since carbon will only adsorb just so much before becoming useless I'd have to say no . That's an awful lot of money to invest in a temporary solution to a problem . Hunt the wind and use unscented cleaning products and cover scent .
If you must try it for yourself check with Sportsman's Guide for "chemical suits" , this is the carbon lined MOPP suits that the Army and Marines use . They're cheap , disposable , and they have way more carbon than ScentLok or Scent Blocker do , and as an added bonus they are very warm . This is the cheapest way I know to try carbon suits . This time of year they go quick , so check there as soon as you can . Here's the URL:Sportsman's Guide

MHO is that they aren't worth it. If I was going to do it, I would take kevin1's advice and get an old MOPP suit. I used to where one of those as an infantryman, and I hate them, but that is a different issue. Here is a link with someone's opinion that is more educated about these things than me. http://www.fastestbows.com/articles/corrigan/scent_suits.htm

Save your money, not that I've used one but I bet if wrapped a turd in one of those suits you still wouldn't want to sleep with it. I guess it just makes too much sense that if a suit isn't airtight then it's not stink-proof either.
