I recently planted some perennials that were supposed to be "deer resistant". I planted purple coneflowers and bee balm and the next time I looked, I only had bee balm!
Supposedly they do not eat strong smelling plants but I'm sure that you're right and they would eat it if there was nothing else. Bee balm has a strong small and they left it alone and they have never touched my onions or garlic.
Supposedly hanging pieces of Irish spring soap will deter them with it's strong smell.
