It's a good recipe and works as far as I can tell. Took the smell of gas off my hands after over-filling the boat.
However, a story I read said not to use the 3% peroxide that you can get in a little brown bottle in the store because it has a slight smell all of it's own, but to go to a pool supply company and guy a gallon of their oxidizer stuff...which is 27%. IF you do this, it then has to be diluted down from the 27% to 3% buy using a 9/1 ratio with distilled water.
I mix mine in a container like this bucket. It has an air vent on top...which you need in the first couple of days as the items mix and produce gases. It also has a spout at the bottom to fill your field bottles. Lastly, it does not let in light which will render the product useless after a short period of time.
The recipe and directions are on here, but the search feature is not working at the moment.
Here is the bucket.

The first recipe works well, but does leave a slight powdery residue. I had deer all over me when wearing it last year and do not think I was winded even once.

Lemme take a chance to be honest here. For as long as i have ever been hunting i have never in my life once used a scent killer/blocker. Despite this i have harvested a deer and turkey every season i've been out and had turkeys within 3 or 4 yards. I use regular scented shampoo, regular laundry clothes and only let my cover-alls hang outside for about a week so im sure they still smell.

do scent killers really help?

I guy i knew who hunted the cedar swamps with me wore his grubby work clothes to hunt in... and all he ever did was burn some cedar boughs and stand over the smoke....essentially "smoking" himself and the clothes in the fragrance of the burning cedar.
He claimed that the deer found the smell a natural thing, and perhaps even made them curious. He did well filling his tags with big deer usually.

They definately help but I know what your saying. Its kinda funnyactually because my friends grandfather use to go out no scent shield sit on the same stump every year and he chain smoked but yet every year he shot a decent buck. With this ugly old 303 british with a bell flash hider on it.Some people I guess are just lucky or the deer are use to it or something. I dont know.
