Victoria's Lavender Don't Bug Me Lavender Spray, DEET-Free - 2oz + 4oz

Recently had a trip out to the Philippines and its a notorious location for getting attacked by mosquitos everytime we visit so we decided to try this product for the first time. Its ingridents and reviews looked good and one thing we can't stand about bug sprays is the oily/sticky feeling... which is what we have used in the past, especially in very humid climates such as the Philippines. There were a number of times this product worked for us on this last trip. First was when we were having dinner and as the sun was going down, we started to get bit on our arms and legs. A few even made it on my neck. One thing we noticed when we first started to spray it was how fresh it smelled and how it's very gentle on the skin. It doesn't even feel like you have anything on once it dries. It actually made our skin feel smoother and less sticky from the humidity. Second we noticed that the mosquitos definitely stopped biting us in the areas which we sprayed. The only area I did not spray were my toes. I was wearing slippers and noticed that a few mosquitos were now only attacking my toes but no longer on my arms, legs, and neck which were the only areas I used the spray on. Once I sprayed my toes, the mosquitos stopped biting there too. You can definitely see the mosquitos getting repelled. While holding my arm out during dinner, we watched the mosquitos hovering around my arm but never landed on it. They simply would hover a few seconds then fly away. This spray also helped us out the following day while waiting for a taxi after leaving a waterpark. Ton of mosquitos were in the area and once we used it, you can literally see the mosquitos hovering around but never landed on us. I can't say how long the spray would last at keeping the mosquitos away but it definitely lasted long enough for us when we needed it.. which was about a good hour or 2 before we headed back indoors. It's definitely worth a try and can honestly say it worked for us. I will be buying more of this spray for future trips to come.

I like the scent and it works to keep small gnats and mosquitoes away as long as you’re not in an area of heavy infestation. Doesn’t work on annoying, biting, black flies. Have to respritz after 45-60 minutes. Nice if you’re sitting on your deck but if you’re doing yardwork you’ll probably want something stronger.

Love this all natural bug spray! It not only works so well but it smells sooo good! I’m allergic to harsh/toxic chemicals so this bug spray has been perfect to wear during summer and really helps to prevent bug bites while also smelling amazing.

I almost left a review the other day about how much it completely did not work. We live out in the rural mountains and mosquitos are rampant right now. I received it in the mail, and quickly sprayed it all over my arms and back and neck, since I had a tank top on. But it was like it attracted the mosquitos more than repel them... as I got munched up!!! Then, last night, I was working in my room on my laptop and tons of tiny gnats were flying all over the light in the center of the ceiling. So, I gave it a try and sprayed the light cover. Again, it attracted them!!! THEN THEY ALL STUCK TO THE LIGHT FIXTURE COVER AND NEVER MOVED AGAIN!!! So, I'm not quite sure why it hasn't worked as strongly, or in the same way against mosquitos as it did for the gnats.

This seemed to work during the day. But at peak hour in the evening still got bit and swarmed a ton by black flies and mosquitoes.

I got this for my two-week trip to Bali, Indonesia, where the amount of bugs are pretty intense and bug spray is a must. I absolutely cannot stand the smell of citronella (which is in almost all bug sprays) and didn’t want to deal with having one of those electric filters on me all the time. I love the smell of lavender, so I took a gamble. I’m honestly SO glad I did. Not only does it smell amazing in general, but it is totally saving me from being eaten alive! I apply it every few hours (I sweat a lot) and it works like a charm. I had missed my neck and tops of my feet with the spray a couple times, which had been the only places I managed to get bitten. My arms and legs (where I spray most liberally) are free of any bites! AND, I smell amazing! Conversely, my friends on my trip are itching at their bites constantly! I definitely know where to get my bug spray from now on 😁

It def helps!

I was so excited to try this bug spray after reading the reviews, however, in southern Florida with type O blood, it makes zero difference for me. I will point out that it smells wonderful and does not leave any sticky residue, but if you are the person that is always getting bit by mosquitoes when no one else does, this will do nothing for you. I have gone through two bottles and less than two weeks, constantly spraying to see if more makes a difference, but it makes zero difference. Maybe another part of the United States where the bugs aren’t so bad it might help, but I would not waste your money if you’re in the south.
