It is irrelevant - to any scent sensitive animal the human body scent (washed, unwashed or pure soap washed) stands out like rotten eggs to us. give yourself a good scrub and make sure that you approach your intended observation area up the wind as you have already indicated.

As others have said dawn is the best time to be out and about and perhaps a more mobile approach initially may pay dividends. However I would not overdo the mobility - walk little and look much is a good adage. if you are walking then a set of light camo gloves for your hands are worthwhile and keep all hand and head movements nice and slow.
