Insect repellent. It does what it promises to the maximum extent. You take it and you're off for an exploration in the jungle. It might even repel wild dogs, snakes, lions, mothers-in-law, Covid. So powerful!

Very strong scent. The pump broke on the first day, two drops fell on a leather bag and the leather got burned, had to throw it away... and I wonder what it could have inside to cause that... as a mosquito repellent, it doesn't even come close to repelling mosquitoes or humans

  Highly effective against mosquitoes and flies, from the moment of application to many hours later, even after accidental exposure to water. The important thing is that, while it is extremely effective, it does not have the "human repellent" effect, meaning it does not smell bad or overpowering. On the contrary, it smells nice, close to the scent of citronella.

  It's good, meaning it protects you from mosquito bites, but unfortunately from my experience it doesn't last as long as everyone claims. When I put it on, I don't see any bites for at most 3 hours, but then they start surrounding me again, and I am in an environment with many mosquitoes daily. I don't know if it has to do with each person's skin and maybe sweat, even though I don't sweat much, but some protections for 8 hours that I read and heard about don't apply to me. Not even 4 hours is enough, I have to always have it on me for this reason.

  Very powerful. The 9-hour duration is to prevent insects from approaching you within 2 meters. If the area doesn't have a serious mosquito problem and you use it frequently, one application will easily cover you for 2 days.

  Necessary product for travelers. I have been using it for years, mainly on trips to Africa. The best on the market, but definitely not for 8 hours... It needs frequent renewal - of course, it also depends on the region. The scent is strong at first, but it dissipates after a while. Attention, it leaves stains!!

  This is the top insect repellent lotion for mosquitoes, it contains 50% Deet and is specifically recommended for tropical areas. Personally, I use it when traveling to Asia/Africa/North America, where there is a malaria problem, and the protection it provides is more than enough. Be careful not to get it in your eyes/nose/mouth and wash your hands well after use. Of course, I also use other protective measures, such as pants/long-sleeved shirts. It is a shame to use it in Greece (except perhaps in highly problematic areas like Larissa/Evros and lakes), prefer the equivalent with IRF 2 or 3. Make sure it has a shelf life of about 5 years, so that it is a fresh product, while the new version only has a plastic neck on the bottle, compared to the old one that had a metal ring.
  Tip: Do not eat sweets and do not use perfumes in difficult areas, as it attracts more mosquitoes to your skin.

  As someone else said here, it doesn't appeal to anyone, it smells a lot, I personally like the scent, it's exotic but it can be off-putting for others, and whenever I go somewhere, I always explain why I smell like that. I would wear it even in a swamp, it really works. However, it's expensive, I wouldn't buy it at a pharmacy, only here, where the shipping costs are high. Also, very little of it!

  Extremely effective, long-lasting, and with a scent that fades after about one to one and a half hours (while its duration is at least eight hours). Due to the spray, it seems to stick less to the skin, but I still think the best way is to spray it on the hand and spread it like sunscreen. It is also convenient that you can spray it on clothes or socks.

  There is no better mosquito repellent than this one, I have been buying it for the past 5 years. It was recommended to me by a person from England who works in Africa, in the forests and jungles. And all of his colleagues use it too. He tells me that not even lions can stand it, laughing

  Maybe the best mosquito repellent I've ever bought! It lasts a long time! You don't need a lot of quantity for "more" protection. I recommend putting it on yourself outdoors because the smell is very strong at first and it will suffocate you, but after 5 minutes you don't even smell that you have put something on yourself. I will definitely buy it for the rest of my life.

  I live in Northern Evros and anyone who lives here or has lived here understands perfectly what a mosquito means. I had no success with any mosquito repellent until someone told my husband about this specific one. We were saved! That's all I have to say. Absolutely effective and with a pleasant scent.

  Excellent product, you should apply it earlier but also at the time when it bothers you to get immediate results. It is the most effective out of all we have tried.

  I live in northern Evros and it is the only insect repellent that works out of all the ones I have tried. When I apply a sufficient amount all over my body, nothing comes near me even though there are hundreds of mosquitoes around (anyone who has lived here knows what I mean).

  Update 04/08/2023:
  To make it more effective, I spray it on my palm and then apply it to all visible areas of my body. Never on the face because it is very strong, I only go up to the neck and wrists.

  Specifically, as for the quantity, I spray 3-4 times on my hand and spread it on one leg, the same for the other leg, and the same for each hand. Less quantity for the neck and wrists, and a few sprays on clothes (mainly on the back).

  These are in case you are dressed in shorts and short sleeves and in areas where mosquitoes are having a "party," in areas with fewer mosquitoes, a few sprays on ankles and hands are enough.

  After use, to completely remove the smell, you need to rub the area with soap 2-3 times.

  I read the positive reviews and bought it to try it out. And indeed, it is extremely effective! As someone who is the "mosquito magnet" of the group, I admit that with the use of this product, I could finally enjoy my summer. Its scent is not strong. I would say the opposite. For such a powerful mosquito repellent, I am impressed that its scent is at normal levels. If there were more stars, I would give them!

  It really does the job, nothing comes close to it. During the summer months, we love it, it has saved us. If you spray it inside the house, the spray that may linger in the atmosphere is very unpleasant and annoying. Also, if it falls on tiles, it slips extremely. We go outside before spraying to avoid these problems. It has a mediocre smell and its texture is not the best, but it works so well that we don't care.

  No 4.
  Really very good.
  Easy to use and with a convenient shape.
  Regarding the smell that some people mention as negative, I have to say that it doesn't apply to everyone.
  Personally, it doesn't bother me at all, without meaning that I use it as a cologne.
  But the important thing is that it does the job.
  Wherever I and my family applied it, no insect bit us.
  I have tried many insect repellents and this is the most effective and long-lasting so far.
  Pay attention to the instructions for use, especially for children.

  I was recommended this by people who love camping and buy it every year. I won't lie to you. It does exactly what it says. Mosquitoes don't come near you, not even a kilometer away. Okay, it doesn't have the best smell, but you get it for insect repellent and not for fragrance. Worth it!

  As for its effectiveness against mosquitoes, it is amazing. It keeps them away for a long time. At least for us, who have a problem with those cursed insects here in the village, we noticed a difference.

  However, there are two negatives. Firstly, its scent is very strong, especially when you first spray it in a closed space, you can't breathe because of the fumes. And if you bring it close to your nose, it causes coughing and discomfort for a while.

  Secondly, it has a strange sticky feeling on the skin, not very pleasant.

  Overall, though, the positives outweigh the negatives, so I will choose it again for my vacation.

  I put it on the mountain on fire where they were biting us over the suit. We're talking about countless even those who don't have a particular problem. I have a serious problem with mosquitoes, I put it on and I didn't put it on again the whole night. Very good.

  It works properly and doesn't smell bad. In the areas where I applied it, it didn't sting at all.
  I was very skeptical after reading comments saying that it has an annoying smell and causes difficulty in breathing because I am sensitive to both, however, with a small amount in an outdoor space, I had no issues.

  The only thing that really works with the mosquitoes we have in the country now.
  It smells a little strong, but it's understandable.
  It is oily but absorbs quickly without losing its effectiveness.
  It should not go in the eyes and if you have a wound you feel it intensely.

  Personally, I wouldn't change it for anything.

  I bought it for the army.
  Inside the room where we sleep, there are many mosquitoes. As an indication, there are about 15 mosquitoes per recruit.
  Before I sprayed myself, mosquitoes were surrounding me. As soon as I sprayed it, I just saw them flying towards the nearby recruits.

  edit: One week later, I see some mosquitoes approaching me to bite me indoors and outdoors. Maybe they got used to it? In any case, other sprays I have tried do absolutely nothing, so I will choose Jungle again even though it is not 100% perfect.
