I noticed there is Citronellol in it, does it smell like the bug repellent?

I don't think it does, I think it's smell leans a bit towards ceder (not exactly but has a ceder undertone). I really like the smell, its very light and generally I can smell it only if I am trying to. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this deodorant! It is worth trying, it works better than any other natural deodorant I have tried.

Hi Kinsee! I'm looking at the bottle I have and I don't see citronellol/citronella listed in the ingredients. Citronellol/citronella is derived from lemongrass, where as the essential oils listed in this deodorant are from blood orange, lemon (in French this is listed as "citron", maybe that's where you're getting "citronella" from?) and mandarine. I personally hate the smell of citronella and don't detect that smell at all when I use this product, to me it comes off more as a light, vague and airy citrus scent. Hope that helps!

No it does not. To me, it doesn't smell like much of anything. Maybe a light floral scent when I put it on but nothing over powering and definitely nothing like bug spray or those awful cintronella candles.

No, not to me. It has a relaxing, clean like oranges. I love to use it early in the morning before going out. Puts me in a great mood. At night after a bath or shower, feel so wonderfully clean.

No, it has a OK smell. Well, I read reviews and some people didn't like the smell, it didn't bother me. But now I noticed after using it for several months that it's stopped working as well. I'm switching to another one, which my friend recommended but I cannot remember the brand off the top of my head right now.

Hi, I do not think it repels bugs. I bought it because I have a child with itchy skin and a sometime rash. He has very sensitive reactive skin. It works well for that, and a little goes a long way.

They smell like citronella. I purchased them for my grandson who is highly allergic to Mosquito's. They did not work for him at all. He still got stung. I would not buy them again. Also, they don't stay on your skin...

It has a strong smell but not citrus. It works the best of anything I have used, which I have used it on my travels internationally were insect stings can carry diseases. The insects didn't even set on our skin with the ultrathon on. I would recommend it highly even if the smell is a bit strong.

I had to make a new batch of bug repellant today so I used 20 drops of Bug Off in approximately 2 cups of witch hazel and shook it up really good. It smells even better than when I mixed it with alcohol and distilled water. It says on the label of the bottle I got last year to mix it with witch hazel to make a spray.

Citronella smell is faint, barely noticeable. I've tried a lot of natural lice repellents, and the smell of this brand is one of the best. There is a pleasant rosemary smell.

I believe so. I've seen other posts where people have used it with shampoo, soaps, lotions and as a bug repellent.

Oh you bet it's not the same. This is a question for the fragrance vendor, not the purchaser. What I received smelled like insect repellant and was thrown away.

The skin so soft bug repellent spray has Picaridin in it 10% of the total ingredients....My skin so soft bug guard Lotion has No Picaridin in it.

Ours came with a can of citronella. We ordered an extra, since the Amazon price is so much lower than Petsmart and PetCo.

It really has a nice natural smell not like citronella. It smells so nice it's hard not just to spray it just to smell it!

It has a very strong herbal scent, but it is very soothing. I definitely don't smell cilantro in particular. It is more of an overall calming smell. I've tried a few of the others and this one is by far my favorite in terms of scent and strength.

Hmm..not sure I understand. I cud read you the label. There is nothing mentioned about insects! Should there be ? I presume you are joking.. It just looks like a clean, non junk food product..and its good! Lori

I do not believe this has picaridin in it. We've tried the Avon Bug Guard spray with picaridin. We did not like the smell and the eye and nose irritation. While this Bug Guard lotion is supposed to require re-application every couple of hours, we think that it actually works longer than the picaridin spray because you have to rub the lotion on the skin...and it does not just evaporate or rub off.

I believe it is citronella, that is what it smells like anyway. They worked great for me. I put them on the ankles of my 3 and 5 year Olds too.

It should help. Citronella usually works the best, but you could try this. How are you planning to use it?

The ingrediants are; Geraniol, soybean oil, citric acid, peppermint oil and Inert Ingrediants. I bought this item and it didn't kill the bed bugs onsite as stated.
