According to TikTok, this perfume helps against mosquitoes

You all probably got bitten by mosquitoes at Lowlands last weekend and I should have mentioned this earlier. But hey, better late than never. After all, summer lasts another month and those mosquitoes aren't leaving anytime soon. That's why I'm sharing the golden tip to keep those little pests at bay, so you can enjoy these warm days without worry.

I'm the kind of person who always complains about mosquitoes but never takes my own spray with me. So I always have to borrow it from people who do prepare well for an evening on the terrace, boat, or beach. Plus, I don't particularly like the strong smell of DEET spray, so I'm never really eager to apply it, let alone buy it.

Well, apparently there's another remedy that repels mosquitoes, something that smells a lot nicer than the old-fashioned spray. According to TikTokers, this is the miracle solution, even better than DEET. Have I kept you in suspense long enough? Okay, here it is: it's the legendary scent ‘Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Eau de Parfum’, which we all probably still have lying around somewhere, but no longer use because it smells too much like a candy store.

However, you can bring it back out, because this fragrance contains notes of peony and orchid with pine; a scent that mosquitoes can't stand. Additionally, the ‘Amber Romance’ fragrance from Victoria’s Secret is said to be a good weapon against insects. Both scents, according to research from The Journal of Insect Science, last longer than 120 minutes on your skin. So do you want to sit undisturbed on the terrace for two hours? Then just spray with your Victoria’s Secret perfume from now on, much nicer and more effective than mosquito spray.

@absolutely.lm If you don't believe me go check for yourself! 🙌🏼 option for city folk. BETTER smelling than repellant. Deet may last longer tho. #fyp #mosquitos #deadlymosquitoes #mosquitorepellant #mosquitohack #victoriassecret #bombshell #amberromance #amber #girlhacks #forthegirls #beautyhacks #viral #virus ♬ original sound – ABSOLUTELY.
