I wouldn't PURPOSELY make myself smell like smoke ever. If it happens, so be it. But that is a strong smell. If it is not an every day smell to a deer, it is a foreign odor. They may react with curiosty, but have you ever seen curiosity without EXTREME caution?
I'd rather smell as close to nothing as possible and hope they show up with the wind in my favor. I try and rub either composting forest floor dirt and leaves on my clothes as I'm walking in or possibly some pine or hemlock, but if they come in downwind they will smell me 9 times out of 10 anyway.
