KMommy Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 So many people complain about the smell of citronella or OFF bug spray. Is there any recipe for a body spray that would serve as a repellant but not smell like citronella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 LemongrassI belive I learned that from Robin on here. Citronella STINKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katherine Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I read somewhere, maybe on here (?) that Patchouli has worked for alot of people as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Lemon Eucalyptus.. It's a special breed of Euc, not a combination of the two. It really works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 A Garden Eastwards Bug Buster EO Blend is still the best out there for lotion, candles, spray......whatever.....it works great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Oregon Trails has an awesome too. I've got it in some lotion and doing some testing here. Ashleys had some pool side parties at night on the weekends and so far, they've been bite free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Now Bunny I've been hearing Eucalyptus in it's true form is great for anything ... so it has to be a lemon euc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I can't vouch for straight euc, but lemon euc has studies on it's effectivness. The info I've searched for would be at the dish though, and not in the archives! As soon as it comes back up I'll post it here too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katherine Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Dumb question, but: can Citronella FO work too, or does it have to be the EO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Katherine, I say no way - but some say yes. No harm in testing it and seeing what you think though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
