They are scent wafers, come in a wide variety of flavors. I personally prefer the Earth scent.
I use them...

I used them for the first time last year, the guy at the store said that to use the wafer a bunch of times until the oder starts to decrease then through it in with your clothes in a duffel bag or whatever (not the scent lock clothes) and get extra life out of them.
Well i tell you what i did exactly that and even now in AUgust when i open up my closet and go through my duffel bag i smells like there is a shovel full of fresh topsoil in there. Stuff works good in my opinion.
Strong but not overpowering. Sort of smells like when you dig up a spot in the woods you get that waft of fresh dirt smell.

I love the fresh earth. My personal favorite. Funny how something so simple can smell so good. I have been using that scent since I started hunting a few years ago. To me, every time I smell it I think of the woods and being in the stand again.

I hang one in my truck as an air freshener,LOL At least my wife thinks so. I sometimes forget to take them off my hat, and the whole truck picks up the odor. I like it....

I love the earth scent wafers but I do wonder if they smell as much like dirt to the deer as they do to me. If they made an aftershave with the same smell I would use it. At least we have more choices than the two part skunk scent I used many many years ago. Now that stuff stunk!!

I've used them for about 6-7 years for riffle hunting and love them, I to throw the one's from the previous year in my hunting cloth's bin and it works great. For bow hunting I like to go scentless so I don't use them for that.
