I used something similar years ago on my folks lawn which has heavy shade towards the end of summer. It was in granule form. Worked well. No smell as you described and not as fast.
@fizzy.bleach - There are lots of moss-killer lawn fertilizer products. I'd just have a look.

I'm currently fighting the same battle. All this rain as completely trashed my lawn and left me with about 60% moss.
Firstly i cut the grass and went crazy with the strimmer on the large moss patches. I then put down some lawn treatment stuff that claims to feed the remaining grass and kill the moss. Four days later and it appears to be doing the trick, with the moss turning black and the grass looking perkier than before.
I'm not too sure exactly what this stuff was to be honest, but the cat is definitely not a fan, the garden smells like a beach and there are a crazy amount of dead grubs that have come up, so i'm guessing it's fairly high in salt.
I'll give it a few more days and then seed it and see what happens.
