Try putting dryer sheets in the drawers. Also, fragranced soap bars, or drawer liners work effectively as well.
To eliminate the odor rather than just cover it up, use something like AFM Safecoat. It is a water-based sealant. It will not stain the wood, just cover it with an invisible coating. I would use this on the inside of the drawers and see if that helps. You may need to use two (thin) coats. This will keep the gasses that are causing the odor from escaping from the wood.
By new wood smell, do you mean the chemical off-gassing from the glues in plywood/particle-board furniture? If so, the lighter-weight, but more expensive, real wood dresser might be a better bet. Off-gassing can take a year or more to diminish beyond noticeable smells. This is why the people displaced by Hurricane Katrina who are living in brand new mobile homes now have lung problems.
I have had good luck removing odors with an ozone generator. They are awesome!!

∙ 14y agoPlace containers of Baking soda in it. Leave it in a well ventilated room and have patience. If it is a bacteria or mold that is causing the smell, place it outside in direct sunlight - the UV rays of the sun will help kill many types of mold and bacteria that cause odor. Be careful to make sure the heat doesnt cause the wood to warp. A professional restoration company can place an airtight bag over the dresser and flood it with chemical fumes that will kill ALL odors.

How do you get new wood smell out of drawers?
The smell will go away on its own after a while. You can also take the drawers outside for a long while to air it out. Some people actually like the wood smell and use a room spray deodorants to get it. Just about anything that can be done to remove the wood smell will replace it with another smell. You can spray it, paint over it, varnish it, place a room deodorant in it, or any perfume you find preferable to the wood smell. I prefer placing orange peel in the drawer for a few weeks but you may have to watch out for bugs.
