How do you get the dusty smell out of a vintage wood dresser that has been in storage a long time?

Fill the drawers with Cedar Chips.
Try stuffing the drawers with wadded up newspaper, or with packets of activated charcoal. These can absorb the odors.
Another thing to try is to set the drawers outside in the sunlight for an afternoon or two. You may want to cover the exterior wood with brown craft paper or some sort of fabric to prevent fading during this process.
If neither of these techniques are successful, you can lightly sand the interiors and bottoms of the drawers and the unfinished inside wood of the dresser itself. Use a cloth dipped in white vinegar and well-wrung out to wipe away the sanded wood particles. You may want to repeat the sunlight treatment after this.
