For what it's worth, I tried some of these light marino wool base layers and
from other reports and my own experience, they don't get nearly as ripe.  My
old polypro stuff gets nasty after a few days.  The wool still seems
reasonably comfortable and while not fresh, I don't mind putting it on and
sleeping in it.  Patagonia's capalene seems a little better, but is still
poly synthetic fiber.  I also  switched from a synthetic beenie to a wool
one.  
On the other hand, the wool stuff in expensive.  I did think I felt warmer,
especially after a few days of almost constant wear (it gets cold in the
SIerra in mid-Oct).  
I did mention that I don't know yet about longevity.  The polyester stuff I
have been using for years.
