Vanilla, anise, and peanut butter watered down enough to spray through a spray bottle are also good curiosity scents for attracting deer.
For 8 years I lived in the 'burbs and had deer in the 3 acre back yard every evening, up to 17 at one time. I use to put all kinds of stuff out in the yard and see how they reacted to it, watched them work scrapes and jockeying for dominance. Deer are very curious and will check out any interesting scents that they aren't threatened by.
