answer
to drink the vodka; the recipes have drawbacks for dyes, silks, if the
fabrics are soiled...better to drink the vodka, relax air the clothes & come
back later. Fear (of making something worse) and sloth (doing as little work
as necessary) are virtues in textiles conservation!

If the items are in decent shape, a mixture of vodka and water sprayed on
them and let dry is great for removing smells from clothing. I'm not a big
fan of Febreeze as I don't like the smell it leaves behind. Fresh-Again is
another product like that that is used in theaters to get the smells out of
costumes.
And if your conservator won't freak, a good hang outside on a nice, sunny
day works wonders.
Lastly, you could put them in a garment bag with baking soda for a week or
so and see if that works.
