Do scents (as sprayed on lures work?)

I've tried several bass scents with no obvius results. I temember one
that smelled strongly & one that had a vanilla aroma. I see Bill Dance
using it on his lures, but he's in the business of selling fishing
accoutrements. Any definitive proof?

My opinion that I have expressed in the past is that it sure doesn't hurt
anything. It helps your plastics slide through weeds better. It masks
your scent (I don't know if human scent matters, Richz's studies indicate
it doesn't matter (from what I remember)). So for me, give me every
single possible edge I can have and I will take it. The whole time during
the boom lake tournament on day 2 I was constantly reapplying scent, and
would get bit shortly thereafter. Coincedence???...probably, but I didn't
want to find out otherwise. As Dan, he was there the second day, I had a
bag of about 12 different scents from "pro-cure" -- Cheap plug... and
probably tried at least 5 or 6 different ones. I really don't know if
they make a huge difference, but I will continue using them as long as
they don't deter bites.
