All fawns have a scent but theirs is less than that of an adult. This is because their scent glands are still underdeveloped a few weeks after they are born. This protects them from potential predators.

When does a fawn lose its spots?
Fawns are born with spots for camouflage against predators, also when born it is without scent (odorless) so said predators cannot find their location, the mother even stays away for a few days so her scent won't rub off and that give the fawn time to gain strength, once the fawn nears adulthood they are agile and allusive and the spots disappear along with the reddish coat and turns to a grayish winter coat.Please see related link below!
