I wouldn't be too worried about scent control too much. Main thing is to hunt into wind as best you can. Or of you get to a good spot get into a place where the wind favours you.
In my mind, Deer spend all their lives in the bush and generally in a certain area. Any new smell will spook them.
Doesn't matter if its human or some strange applied "scent". Get the wind wrong (and sometimes no matter what you do you will) and they will smell you and spook.
Wind is like water in a river. In the hills it flows and turns and twists and does some strange things. But you do what you can to stalk into it.
