Scented drawer liners like this: http://www.caswellmassey.com/shopping/search/searchresultsmain.jsp?fresh=1&searchType=advanced&iMainCat=0&iSubCat=0&attribute14=0&attribute15=0&attribute16=0&RS=1&keyword=drawer+liners
Put wrapped bar soap infused w/ your favorite perfume in w/ your clothes. About 1 ro 2 bars per drawer should do the trick.
Trader Joe's sells sachets filled w/ dried lavender to use in clothes dryers. You can use them like regular sachets instead.
If you want to use Fabreze, then unpack the each drawer before spraying & leave them open for a day or two.

You can use what is called a "sachet". Their like little tiny little pillows (about 1in.x 1in.) made of very thin fabric, and filled with such things as rosemary or lavender. They have been made for "ages", to scent drawers, closets etc. I know you can still buy them (probably at a quality linen store). Maybe in these times, at Bed Bath and Beyond or somewhere like that. Websters New Dictionary describes them as, "a small perfumed packet used to scent clothes". You can also make your own by getting a fabric like organdy, 1. cutting squares 2.filling with your favorite scent 3. tying with a thin fabric cord to seal it. This makes like a little pouch, instead of the square. From there, you just through a couple of them in a drawer (different locations), and in no time you have a lovely scent not only in your drawer, but on you clothing as well. This method has been used to scent drawers for centuries, and surely lasts a lot longer then spraying some chemicals all over your garments. PS You should also have your drawers lined.....Take Care

Well, try putting the drawers out in the sun for an afternoon on a sunny, dry day. Also you can put used fabric softener sheets under the clothes to try to create a barrier between the fabric and the surface of the drawer. Two other things you can do too: 1) baking soda (in the box), but you will have to be careful about getting it on the clothing, and 2) drawer liners. Those are old-fashioned rolls of scented stuff you roll out and cut to size. I hate to say it, but it might work if all else fails. Good luck!

Baking soda will remove the odor. Sheoot, hun, it works wonders for the heavy amonia smell of "pee" place in horse stalls. You can figure out how best to package it for your drawers.
