Did anyone see a short article within the past 6 weeks about a shrub which is so repellent to deer that they won't get near it, not even to dine on some favored plant growing next to it?

I definitely saw an article someplace, roughly between May 15 and June 15, complete with the name of the shrub. Meant to save it and give it a try, but somehow it got out of my hands.  Can anybody help?

No, but I would like to see it too.  One shrub though would seem rather hard to believe.  Deer have patterns that seem to change through the year dependant on what's growing, or not growing at a particular time.  My holly was eaten during the winter (little guy looked really weird with just flowers and no leaves) but has been left alone since the new leaves arrived and the deer have moved into another pathway of browsing.
