its the first time i deal with this problem. 2 times even after scent block they all kept going to attack me?! anyone else had this issue?

A zombie that is aggroing on you won't stop aggroing even if you apply ScentBlock. It prevents detection except if they are within arm's reach, then any action will alert them to you. Ferals have pretty good detection despite ScentBlock being active, at least on Lethal.

ALL of them, though... that sounds like something going wrong. I have experienced that once before myself. I don't know what triggered the problem. Perhaps interrupting the whole animation of it being applied, in a certain scenario.

You have to use it before they spot you. If you get it from the quest that ask you to OPTIONAL use scent black to escort survivor back to his/her base you better use it before music kicks in (usually right after survivor drop one for you and 5 seconds) because on that quest its auto detects if you don't use it right after pick it up the scent block is basically useless.

In normal instance, you need to use it (still) without being spotted by any single zombie otherwise its useless trail of blood smoke following you
