I`ve shot a lot of deer,I`ve photographed a lot of deer too, many of them up close and personal...head into the wind nice and slow and you wont even think of scent blockers. In fact all they do is mix your scent with theirs...guess which one the game reacts to?
Waste of money as the human scent over rides all else,just another lure in the tackle shop imo.
Hang on a min, in rutting season perhaps you might encourage a rutting stag in if you empty the contents of a hinds bladder over your head far better option ha ha!
I work with many hunters from the US who use scent blocker/killer systems as a matter of course. All are bowhunters and want to be within 30yds for a clean kill. Without these products, that would be exteremly difficult. The clothing seems less favoured than the sprays.
However, for UK stalking (with a rifle at 60+yds) I'm not sure what the value is as long as you can keep the wind on your face.

Spot on, i know several Americans who have tried this stuff and the associated clothing and they all agree its nonsense.Rob
Correct me if I am wrong here.
If the wind is in your face the deer is not going to smell you no matter if you are 100 yards or 30 yards as the wind is carrying your smell away from the deer.
I am afraid the americans are just suckers for a advertising campaign. Bushcraft is what matters not spraying yourself with a product.
