1. have a bath.
2. try washing them before you put them away.
3. when ur deo & perfume bottles get empty...take of da caps..n keep em under ur clothes...for sometime...da lil bit perfume...fragrance stays in ur clothes...& does not even stains em...try it out...it works
4. Soak them in fabric softner and wash them, or put draw liners in your pine draws.
5. It depends what's causing the smell; if its the wood you could try sealing it with a couple of coats of quick drying varnish. You can get it in a matt or gloss finish. But if its the varnish then line the drawers with paper (wallpaper's cheapest) then get sachets to scent the drawers. You can make your own but don't use perfume, it goes off after a while and your clothes will smell of old perfume. You can sew small bags out of cotton handkerchiefs (get them from a cheap market stall or pound shop) and add something like cedar chips or lavender. You can also get wooden balls that are scented with sandalwood, cedar and so on, I've seen them in different shops and big hardware stores.
6. Drawer liners are the best, you can buy them anywhere really! I use Vanilla ones and they smell great!
7. find another place to store them, or store them in one of those vacuum bags.
8. anything you store in your drawers gonna smell bad after couple of days
9. Why not buy some scented drawer liners, or place a small bag of lavender in the drawer. Your only other option is to get shot of the set of drawers.
