I do scent control but the breath thing doesn't make much sense to me. You would literally have to eliminate all bacteria in your mouth, which would probably affect your health in other adverse ways, to stop your mouth from producing scent. I brush my teeth with minty stuff sometimes before a hunt or not brush at all. Honestly don't believe I have ever been winded as a result of not trying to mask my mouth scent.
A scent routine can help but can definitely be taken too far.
Brush thoroughly of course, then rinse with peroxide, then floss, the clean below gum line with rubber tip gum gizmo, then rinse with Smart Mouth 12 hour mouthwash.Eat an apple, natural breath cleanser.
Alfalfa tablets and chlorophyll tablets work well too.I take NULLO tablets
Ever smell a goat's breath? They eat lots if chlorophyll.Alfalfa tablets and chlorophyll tablets work well too.
1st, define "down wind". Our odor disperses in a cone shape with more intense odor in the center of the cone and less intense odor on the fringes.I eat lot’s of apples......only because I like them. LOL
Honestly trying to cover your breath is a waste of time in my opinion. If a deer gets downwind you will have much worse human smells to worry about. Only 100% effective way to beat their nose is to stay downwind of where you expect them to come from.
I messed around with all the gimmicks for years and nothing is more effective than playing the wind and understanding thermals. My sightings and close encounters have actually increased since doing away with my scent reduction routine and hunting is so much more enjoyable.

Also, secure a backup tether around your neck, in case you pass out due to lack of oxygen.I slip a clear plastic bag over my head and seal it with a rubber band around my neck. The bag keeps my breath contained but doesn't impede my vision. Just make sure there are no holes in the bag.
