I do on a fairly regular basis use ConQuest EverCalm's cover scent.
It comes in a variety of "flavors" as well as scent pads you can use in your ThermoCell.
I like this product.

Spent many years being OCD about scent control. Gave it all up and just play the wind - far less hassle. No difference in my success rates since i gave it up - see just as many and kill just as many wearing stinky dirty unwashed clothes while smoking cohibas. Wind is all that matters as far as i can tell. Same results for bear as well.
Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.

I was never a believer in scent masking stuff.

This past spring bear hunt I used a product called nose jammer as I had a breeze blowing in the direction where I assumed a bear would come in. Sure enough a nice boar came in directly down wind and didn't detect my human odor.

Maybe I got lucky or maybe it really worked.. :)
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

I still maintain that it was the peanut butter topped Butter Tart in your pocket.
