How come? Everything I read about car storage said I was supposed to, but when I got the car out of storage, there was just a tiny bit of water in the packs anyway. Really I just didn't want it to smell like mildew/mold.

Whether you need it or not depends alot on storage conditions. If temperature is stable and humidity is reasonable, you aren't as likely to need it.

Try using an unscented desiccant. Instead of letting the interior steep in the scent, put a freshener in the car a week or so before hitting the road.
