Grand Tongo Citrus + Sandalwood Insect Repellent

This is a great family-friendly bug spray. It dries down quickly, has no offensive odor, and does the job against bugs. My only complaint is that each bottle doesn't go very far in terms of number of applications. For a family of four, we got two, maybe three applications out of a bottle. Mosquitoes are the main concern where we live, and it did a fair job keeping them away, especially for family members who don't tend to get as many bites. My daughter and husband are always very susceptible, but they got fewer bites than they typically would. We would typically apply in the early evening and then be in bed within four to five hours, so we weren't necessarily testing extreme longevity.

Pretty effective natural insect repellent with a great sandalwood scent. My son did get a few bites while playing in our often buggy yard, so it's not bulletproof, but the protection lasts solidly for a couple hours before I'd recommend reapplying. I love that it's deet-free and natural. One can lasts a pretty long time, and it doesn't leave any sticky residue on the skin. I did apply it to my hands first before putting it on my toddler, so just be aware you'll want to wash your hands afterward so you don't accidentally irritate your eyes. We'll definitely be using it again.

This spray works. I didn't really have any problems with mosquitoes approaching me, and I'm a real mosquito magnet. It has a very light scent and feels good on your skin after you apply it. It's not sticky or oily, and once you've applied it, you don't even know you have it on because it rubs right into your skin. There are different scents available including unscented.

The scent is pleasant and way better than any other bug spray I've used. I actually enjoy the smell. It lasts a solid four to five hours, so I really don't have to reapply before we head back inside. No irritation, no greasiness, and no application issues. We spend a lot of time outdoors, and this has been a great fit.

This repellent works well every time I spray it. We go out into the woods quite often, and I live near the woods, so I really needed something reliable. It's not sticky, and I can tell it's doing its job keeping mosquitoes and insects away.

This is probably the best smelling and best feeling insect repellent I've ever used. The protection is excellent, and I get about four hours from a single application without needing to reapply. It goes on as a very light mist that's non-greasy and applies really nicely all over the body. The spray isn't overpowering or heavy, so you don't have to worry about over-spraying it. The scent is refreshing and light, and it doesn't smell like chemicals at all. I'm a mom of sports kids, so I'm usually always outdoors, and we have a pool in our backyard, which means constant bug exposure. The Grand Tongo Citrus + Sandalwood has been a perfect fit for our lifestyle.

This insect repellent truly works and I can't recommend it enough. I wore it while working outside at a concert venue, and after spraying it on at 3 PM, I didn't get a single bug bite until I left at 11 PM. That's eight hours of protection from one application. A few weeks before that, I was eaten up by bugs at the same venue when I wasn't wearing the spray, so the difference was night and day. It's not sticky at all. I felt like I was wearing nothing, and my skin wasn't irritated. The scent is kind of sweet upon application, but after the first couple of minutes you can barely smell it, and then there's no odor at all. You don't even realize you're wearing it. I've been using this product for about a year now and I will use it again and again. Buy multiple cans. It really does keep all the bugs away.

Grand Tongo Citrus + Sandalwood is hands down one of my favorite bug repellents. It keeps mosquitoes, flies, and ticks away, and I honestly haven't found a situation where it doesn't work. The protection lasts about half the day, sometimes even a full day depending on water exposure and sweat. We typically only reapply once, if that. The scent is amazing, which is a huge win because my kids actually want to put it on and don't fight reapplication. It goes on smooth with no sticky residue, no peeling, and nothing transferring onto your clothing. After the kids get out of the water, I just dry them off and spray it right back on. We take this everywhere. I keep one in my softball bag, one in my hiking bag, and we bring it to the lake. I even spray it when we're just out back barbecuing. I can't say enough good things about it.

Grand Tongo Bug Spray works really well and feels great on the skin. Everyone in our family gets noticeably fewer mosquito bites when we use it. The scent is pleasant when you first apply it but fades almost immediately, which is a big difference from other natural bug sprays we've tried. Once it's on, you really don't notice it's there. I can't confirm it lasts a full 12 hours since we haven't tested that, but it definitely holds up for at least a few hours outside. My kids really like it, and the fact that it's effective for most of the day without needing constant reapplication is a great quality.

I had a great experience with this insect repellent! This insect repellent actually smells good, which is incredibly rare for a bug spray. The Citrus + Sandalwood combo is energizing and woodsy, and it feels gender-neutral enough for anyone to wear. It offers 12 hours of protection, which is amazing for long days at the lake or pool. My son and I tested it at a baby shower/BBQ in the middle of summer, spending a couple hours going in and out, and neither of us had a single bug bite. Huge win there. The quick-dry formula is a standout feature. It dried almost instantly, within seconds, and felt light and airy on the skin. Some bug sprays leave you feeling sticky and tacky, making you want to shower and rinse it off immediately, but this one didn't have that issue at all. You just feel clean wearing it. The packaging is sleek and the nozzle made application really easy. My only suggestion would be for Grand Tongo to continue expanding on their scent options, because that's what will really set them apart. The Citrus + Sandalwood combo is lovely, so it'd be neat to see even more added to this line. I would definitely recommend this insect repellent to smell fantastic and be protected from pesky bugs for hours!

Pretty effective insect repellent with a really nice, natural scent that isn't overly strong. I used it in the backyard playing with the kids and at the beach, and I didn't notice any bugs landing on me. Protection lasted a solid three hours without needing to reapply, which was really nice. I also liked that it's natural, so I felt safe using it on my kids without worrying too much about where I was spraying it, and none of us had any skin irritation. The one thing that surprised me was a slight stickiness. The first couple of times I sprayed it on my legs and went to touch them, I noticed a film or residue on my hands. That actually made me hesitant to use it a second time, but once I learned to just spray and avoid touching the areas where I'd applied it, it didn't bother me at all. I do wonder if letting it fully dry first would eliminate that issue, but I haven't tested that yet. Overall, the scent quality is great, it works well for a few hours outdoors, and it feels like a safe, natural option for the whole family.

This repellent really delivers on protection. I didn't see a single bite or even any attempts at biting during the hours we were outside. The first application lasted a few hours with no problem, so I never needed to reapply. It goes on dry and doesn't feel sticky at all, which is a huge plus. The citrus and sandalwood scent is minimal and not overpowering, just enough to notice without being overbearing. It wasn't irritating to the skin either. I'm normally outside with my kids playing in the yard, hanging out at the park, or sitting around a bonfire, so I needed something that would hold up and feel comfortable. This is a really good choice if you're looking for long-lasting, non-sticky protection against mosquitoes.

Grand Tongo works well and actually smells good, which is more than I can say for most bug sprays. The citrus and sandalwood scent is natural and pleasant, never overwhelming or chemically like other repellents that give off toxic fumes. It definitely repels bugs and mosquitoes effectively, and a typical application lasts a couple of hours before you need to reapply. The application is light, it dries up quickly, and you don't even notice it's on your skin. No greasiness, no skin irritation. We've used it at the park and on camping trips up in the mountains, and it's been reliable in both settings. We used it last year in the mountains and just got back from another camping trip where it performed well again. Definitely would recommend.

This insect repellent is effective and worth every penny. I typically spend two to three hours outside at a time, and I have no issues with bugs the entire time I'm wearing it. I use it for gardening, walking trails, playing in the backyard with my kids, and sitting through their outdoor activities like baseball and trips to the park. Even while gardening surrounded by tons of insects, nothing bothers me. The smell is great. It's not overpowering and comes across more like a perfume. The texture basically disappears after about 30 seconds on my skin, seeming to evaporate or soak in completely. It's also not super oily, which has been a problem with other repellents I've used. I have a lot of allergies, so it was a really nice surprise that this product caused zero irritation. No itching from bugs or from the repellent itself. I'm continuing to use this repellent and I'm really happy with it.

This repellent does what it says. It kept the bugs away, lasted a few hours at least, and dried well on the skin. The scent is really fresh and pleasant. The only negative is that when you spray it, you can sometimes breathe it in and it's irritating, especially when applying to the upper body. Anything on my legs was fine. I would reapply after getting out of the pool.

This insect repellent smells great, works well, and doesn't leave you feeling like you're wearing bug spray. It both smelled better and worked better than other repellents we've used, without any greasiness. The texture is really more like water. Once you rub it in, it seemingly soaks right into your skin and feels like you haven't put anything on. The spray nozzle is a pressure spray, not aerosol, which makes it super easy to apply. We're outside a lot in the evening, which makes us prime targets for bugs. I'm honestly more likely to remember to put this on because I know I won't smell bad or end up a greasy mess.

Grand Tongo Citrus + Sandalwood is a high quality natural alternative to DEET-based repellents, and I've been really impressed with it. As a mom of three young children, I've always been conscious about what I put on their skin, so knowing this is a natural formula gave me peace of mind. We took it on a hike where ticks are always present, and afterward there were zero ticks on my children or myself. I consider that a big win. The scent is another highlight. It doesn't smell like typical bug spray at all, which I loved. The formula is lightweight and dries within about a minute, leaving no residue. I did notice that in high humidity it took a little longer to dry than it might in a drier climate. Protection lasted a few hours, which felt solid for our outdoor adventures. I also tested it at my parents' house where mosquitoes are extremely prevalent in their yard. It worked all right in that scenario, though I haven't found anything that works 100% in that kind of heavy mosquito presence. We're a very active family and always outdoors during the summertime, so I carry bug spray in our backpacks whenever we go on adventures. This repellent handles not just mosquitoes and ticks but also flies, gnats, and chiggers. The combination of a natural formula, pleasant scent options, and lightweight feel makes this one I'll keep reaching for.

This insect repellent smells great and does keep bugs away, though it's not quite as effective as some other sprays I've tried. The tradeoff is worth considering because it smells better than most of them, and the natural ingredients make the whole experience more pleasant. The scent isn't too overwhelming. I did find myself reapplying pretty frequently. I mainly use it in my backyard in central Indiana during the summer and fall. I also brought it camping and it worked just as well in both settings.

This insect repellent is really effective and has been a must-have for our family. We have a big tick problem in our area, and the Grand Tongo keeps them at bay for the full two hours we're typically outside. I apply it frequently on myself and my kids when we're playing in the backyard, and it does the job well. No skin irritation or any other problems from using it, which is important when you're putting it on kids. The sandalwood scent is nice and I personally like it, though it can be a little strong for the kids. The main drawback is a slight sticky quality after application. I've used other insect repellents in the past that I'd rank a bit higher overall, but this is still a really solid option. It's not quite enough of a difference to knock off a star, just an observation.

Grand Tongo Citrus + Sandalwood has become our family's go-to insect repellent, and we've been reaching for it over everything else for a few months now. It lasts 3-4 hours without needing to reapply, and we didn't get any tick bites while actively using it. My kids always remarked on how it felt going on: not sticky at all, just smooth. Even as the day went on, it never turned tacky on our feet, hands, or arms. I also really liked the scent. It wasn't overpowering but it smelled good. We're a family of outdoor enthusiasts living in a rural wooded area, so watching out for bugs and ticks is a regular thing for us. We would highly recommend this product.

Works well against the bugs it advertises, and the scent is nice. It doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy and we didn't experience any irritation. I'm not sure how it performs against ticks specifically, but for everything else it targets, we had no problems. Overall the performance seems good without being too harsh.

This stuff works, and it works really well. We've been using it for over a year in the deep south, where mosquitoes and biting flies are a near-daily reality, and it holds up for about five hours per application. We typically spray it in the evening before going outside and it lasts for the duration of our outdoor time. We really don't need to reapply it unless we put it on in the morning and stay out into the afternoon. The scent is pleasant and nothing like a typical bug spray. If you're sensitive to smells, all the scent options are pretty benign. There's been absolutely no skin irritation, and I don't worry about having it on my skin for long periods of time. It works noticeably better than the citronella natural repellent I've bought in the past, which in my experience just doesn't get the job done. I'm assuming it's the active ingredient in this formula that makes the difference.

This product smells really good, but it is not super effective as an insect repellent. I got maybe 15 to 20 minutes of protection before I started getting bit by bugs again. Even my son and my husband, who are not mosquito magnets like I am, were getting bit five to ten times. If I was only going to use this, I feel like I would have to reapply it quite a bit and I'd still get breakthrough bites. On the positive side, it smells really, really nice and doesn't make you feel like you have bug spray on. Compared to other citrus or natural repellents, it doesn't have as strong of an aroma or that sticky, residue-y feeling, which I appreciated. We spend a lot of time outside during spring, summer, and early fall playing baseball, basketball, soccer, riding bikes, taking walks, and going on hikes. We live in a mosquito-heavy area, so we need something that lasts longer than this did.

This bug spray does a great job keeping mosquitoes away, and the scent is really nice, not overpowering or chemical-like the way a lot of other sprays can be. I'm very prone to getting bit, so that was a big deal for me. It doesn't leave a sticky feel on your skin either. It's very light and airy. I usually apply it in the evening when the bugs start to get bad, and I feel like it lasts a good while. I only needed to reapply the next day, which is impressive. It works just as well as other bug sprays without that strong chemical smell.

Great bug spray that's effective and doesn't feel greasy at all. The scent is mild, which we really appreciate. We love this product.

This is a really great natural insect repellent, and I liked it enough after receiving it last summer that I repurchased it this year from Target for my family. The smell is what sold me first. A lot of other natural repellents have a gross scent that irritates my nose, but this one actually smells great. It also works well, keeping flies, mosquitoes, and gnats away. It feels really nice on the skin and isn't sticky at all. You do need to reapply about every two hours, which is more often than a non-natural repellent, but it's on par with other natural repellents I've used in the past. I wanted something safe to use on my two year old, and this checks that box. I've used it in multiple settings: in my backyard where flies and gnats are the main issue, out fishing in the mountains, and camping. It's worked really well in all of those situations. I keep one in the car and one in the backyard so we're always covered. I live in New Mexico so I can't speak to how it works against ticks, but for flies, mosquitoes, and gnats it's been a really good product for us.

This bug spray works. I didn't get a single mosquito bite while using it, even in my very wet and humid area where the bugs were out in full force. It smells great, feels weightless on the skin, and caused zero irritation. I did have to reapply every couple of hours, but that's pretty standard for most sprays, especially when you're sweating in humid conditions. It has safer ingredients than the other bug sprays I've been using, which is a big plus. I typically use it when I'm out in the yard with the kids or doing yard work, and reapplying was easy. I'd definitely recommend it.

This repellent smells great and actually works. I used it in our backyard, which is a mosquito haven, as well as at a park and in our open front yard, and it kept the mosquitoes away for a solid 2 hours each time. It didn't leave me feeling sticky or yucky either. The spray nozzle was a little tricky to get going the first time, but after that it worked fine. I'd typically put it on after dinner and play outside until bath time. I need to get some new ones this year.

This is an absolutely incredible insect repellent. It lasts for several hours, doesn't smell very strong, and is perfect for sensitive skin.

Grand Tongo Citrus and Sandalwood Insect Repellent has been a winner for my family. I have two boys who are absolute bug magnets, and this stuff worked really well on them. We are still using it today and I would definitely continue going back for more. Application is super easy, just spray it on like you would any other bug spray or spray sunscreen. One application lasted us through normal outings without needing to reapply. If you're out all day you might need a second coat, but for everyday use it was plenty. I will say that we had friends try it and it wasn't as effective for them, so I think it's kind of a personal experience. What I found interesting was that my kids who attract bugs more saw the biggest benefit, while people who don't attract bugs as much didn't really notice an impact. As a mama to three active boys who live out in the country, bug spray isn't optional for us. It's an absolute necessity, and this one delivered.

This repellent works just as well as anything else we've used, including DEET-based sprays like OFF, but the scent is so much better. It's not overpowering at all, and it smells genuinely good compared to the usual offensive repellent smell. We use it at the drive-in, at the beach, and anytime we're outside with the kids, and it keeps mosquitoes, ticks, sand flies, and everything else away. One application lasts us pretty much all day, easily 12 hours. We usually apply it once and never need to reapply. It feels dry as soon as you put it on, no super wet feeling, and there have been zero skin irritations for any of us. You can use it on your face and your body. Our whole family uses it: I put it on my kids, my husband uses it, and we all do well with it. We normally get eaten up by mosquitoes, so this has really helped. We'll definitely continue to buy it. I really like it a lot.

Grand Tongo Citrus and Sandalwood Insect Repellent works just as well as any traditional bug spray I've used, and it smells so much better. I've been using it for two seasons now and enjoy it just as much as when I first tried it. It's effective against gnats, mosquitoes, and all kinds of bugs. We live on a mountain, so we get a lot of bugs, and this keeps them away whether I'm outside for an hour or a few hours. I apply it like I would any bug spray: back of my neck, arms, legs, hands, and then I rub it around my face rather than spraying directly. No skin irritation, no greasiness. I actually sometimes forget I even put it on. The citrus and sandalwood scent is pleasant and not overpowering, but it does fade pretty quickly after application. If you're buying it specifically for the scent, just know it won't last. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's more like a bug spray that smells nice initially rather than something like a cologne or scented sunscreen. As for reapplying, I usually only need to if bugs start bothering me again. If it's really hot and I'm sweating a lot, I reapply about as often as I would sunscreen. There have only been a few times I've had to do that, though. Otherwise it's good to go for a few hours.

Grand Tongo Citrus + Sandalwood insect repellent is fantastic. It genuinely keeps the bugs away, we don't get bitten when we're wearing it, and the sandalwood scent is one of my favorites. It's light and not overpowering, which is a huge plus compared to other bug sprays where I can't stand the smell or the chemicals. It lasts a whole day. We spray it on in the morning and go out to do our thing without needing to reapply. The spray itself comes out as a really fine mist, so it's not too much on your skin, and after a little bit it soaks right in and you don't even feel it. Easy application, no issues at all. We've used it across all kinds of outings: walks in the woods, playgrounds, hanging out in the backyard, amusement parks, even the beach. It's held up well in every setting. It's not waterproof, but it does its job keeping bugs away. I haven't tracked exactly which types of bugs it repels, but mosquitoes and ticks can be a real nuisance where we are, and we simply don't get bitten when we're wearing it. I highly recommend this repellent. It's a light, pleasant spray that actually works without the harsh chemicals or overpowering smell of other bug sprays.

The most effective bug spray I've personally used, and I love that it's DEET-free. We do a lot of outdoor activities as a family, including hiking, swimming, and playing in parks, and this repellent lasts all day with just one application. Mosquito bites have gone down significantly, and we've never seen a tick on my kids, which is huge because tick season has been especially bad here in the high desert this year. As someone who used to work in the field of treating Lyme disease, I'm genuinely terrified of ticks, and this product gives me real peace of mind. It specifically mentions ticks on the label, which makes it feel more targeted than the typical bug sprays I was using before. I'm a bit of a crunchy mom with two kids three and under, so having clean, natural ingredients and no DEET is a big deal. We don't have any skin irritation with it. The citrus and sandalwood scent is very light and subtle, which we love. It doesn't overwhelm you at all. If you're looking for something with a strong perfume-type fragrance, this probably isn't the one for you. One bottle lasts us about a full season using it on all three of us regularly, which helps offset the cost. The price is the main deterrent. It is quite a bit pricier than other bug sprays in the same category. But I know it works, so we'll continue buying it. I also genuinely like the branding, which maybe sounds silly, but the whole product feels more tailored to my lifestyle.

This is my go-to insect repellent from now on. It works, it lasts a solid 8 hours with little to no bites, and it feels great on the skin. I come from living on the river where mosquitoes are a constant infestation, and the Grand Tongo citrus and sandalwood repellent has been a godsend. It goes on with a very light, lotion-like feel and doesn't stay greasy. A little bit goes a long way. If I put it on in the daytime, I still have coverage into the evening, and anything that does bite doesn't really get a chance to have an effect on the skin. It also doesn't stain clothes, which is a big deal for me. The children's repellent made by OFF stains my child's clothes every time, so discovering this was a relief. My children love it too because the smell is pleasant with no chemical scent. Overall, this is hands down my favorite over any insect repellent I've used.

A little goes a long way, and once I figured that out, this became my go-to insect repellent. The first time I used it I applied way too much, and it felt greasy and heavy to the point where I couldn't wait to wash it off. Now that I know how far a simple spray can go, I love it. It feels so light on your skin, and the scent is great with no fake-smelling fragrances. The effectiveness is honestly incredible. You can literally see it working when you're sitting in front of people at an outdoor event and bugs are swarming around their heads and bodies while you're completely left alone. Even people sitting just one row ahead of us or right next to us will have gnats flying around them, and we have nothing. I use it anytime I'm doing anything outdoors, whether it's concerts, parks, or nighttime events like fireworks. I usually apply it around 4pm and it's still completely working by 10 or 11 when I get back indoors. No need for re-application during that entire stretch. Just be careful not to overdo it on application. It's not like a regular bug spray where you're trying to dust yourself all over.

This bug spray is really effective and a safe alternative to traditional repellents, which is exactly what I was looking for as a mom. We used it in our backyard where we have a ton of mosquitoes and flies, and it kept us fully protected from both. It's super easy to apply, doesn't leave your skin feeling oily or greasy, and it lasts a while, especially in bug-prone areas. I love the scent, and this is coming from a person who doesn't like scents or fragrances at all. It wasn't too strong. I definitely recommend this for other moms looking for a cleaner solution for bug spray.

This is a nice, natural bug spray that smells good and feels safe for the whole family. I haven't tested it in a high mosquito environment, so I can't speak to how well it truly repels insects, but I like knowing it's not harmful. We use it before evening walks or heading outside to play at night. I initially thought it smelled like alcohol, but over time the scent has mellowed out and I actually enjoy it now.

Honestly the best bug spray we've used. It smells amazing, not like a typical insect repellent at all, and it's incredibly easy to apply. You just twist the spray nozzle, spray wherever you need it, and go. No getting your hands dirty. It lasts a good couple of hours without needing to reapply, and it doesn't leave you feeling oily or glossy. Compared to any other bug spray, this one wins because of the scent, the easy application, and the fact that none of us have had any breakouts or skin issues. My kids are 10 and 6, and we use it every time we go to the park or head out for a walk. It's become a go-to for our whole family. If you're thinking about buying it, know that it's going to be a staple in your home, especially during spring and summer when bugs start coming out. You're not going to regret this purchase.

Works just as well as any other bug spray we've tried, but it smells so much better. No typical bug spray smell, no stickiness, and no rashes. It lasts several hours on the body, easily the duration of an activity, so we never had to reapply. It washes off easily in a normal shower. We've used it at the beach, in our backyard, and on camping trips. We live in an area with a lot of mosquitoes, and it's held up every time. The container itself lasts a long time too.

This is a bug spray you actually don't mind putting on, which is saying a lot. It's non-greasy, non-sticky, and the citrus and sandalwood scent is mild but genuinely pleasant. The protection lasts a long time, and I feel comfortable applying it to my kids thanks to the clean ingredient list. It doesn't irritate their sensitive skin, and the application is super easy. I've used it on myself for bonfires and evening outdoor activities during spring and summer when the mosquitoes are out in full force. I've also applied it to my kids before they head off to camps in wooded areas. This isn't your traditional gross bug spray that you hate putting on yourself and despise putting on your children. You don't really even feel it on your skin, and the scents are natural and nice.

This repellent works great at keeping bugs away and smells so much better than other ones we've used in the past. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it held up even after being in the water, though like any bug spray you'll want to reapply after swimming. We live in Maine and spend a lot of time near the water in the summer, so dealing with bugs is a constant. This one has been a solid go-to.

This insect repellent has made a big difference for our family. My daughter and husband both tend to get eaten alive, and that is greatly diminished when we use this brand. We get little to no insect bites, which is better than other insect repellents we've tried. The scent is really nice and natural, nothing like the typical bug spray smell. It doesn't make your skin look or feel greasy either, which honestly makes it so much easier to use, especially with kids. My children actually let me put it on them without a fight because it looks, feels, and smells so different from other options on the market. We haven't encountered any skin irritation from using it. The protection lasts for several hours. Our typical outdoor activities include hiking, sitting on our backyard patio, and being at the kids' baseball games, and we're usually not outside for more than three to four hours at a stretch. In that time we've never felt the need to reapply. I have used this on myself, my husband, and my children, who are 8 and 11. We've continued to buy this brand every time we run out. Overall, it's a really great product that is working well for us.

We really enjoy the Grand Tongo Citrus and Sandalwood Insect Repellent and keep going back to it. It sprays on a nice, even layer that feels thin and not sticky, and it genuinely works well at fighting against bugs. For a full day of outdoor activity, we only need to reapply maybe once, so it lasts a very long time. The scent is not overwhelming, which is great for our family because we tend to be migraine and headache sufferers. We do a lot of outdoor activities in the fall and summer, whether it's camping, watching movies outside, or going to Grandma's farm, and it lasts through our full activity without having to reapply often. The only downside is that it doesn't seem to have as much volume in the can as a traditional bug spray. I think it's because it's more aerosolized, so you end up buying the product more often since the actual product size doesn't last as long. We still recommend it to everybody.

This bug spray actually works and you can't even tell you're wearing it. No sticky, filmy feeling at all, which is my favorite thing about it. The sandalwood scent is really enjoyable and lasted about two to three hours before I needed to reapply. I spend a lot of time outdoors doing things like gardening, hiking, and hanging out at the beach and playgrounds, and it worked well for my whole family. We got very few to no bites. No one had any skin issues, though we don't have sensitive skin.

I really like the Grand Tongo Citrus + Sandalwood Insect Repellent. It goes on without any greasiness or skin irritation, and the protection lasts a good couple of hours before needing to reapply. We do a lot of bonfires, camping trips, and hanging out near bodies of water where there are mosquito and different bug populations, and we aren't getting bit any more frequently than with other brands we've used. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering, which is so much better than that terrible deet smell you get with other repellents. I'd definitely take this over other brands I've tried.

Grand Tongo Citrus + Sandalwood works incredibly well. After spraying it on, mosquitoes were non-existent, and it repels all sorts of other bugs too, not just mosquitoes. I recently used it on a two-day camping trip and only had to reapply twice per day. It held up really well near water and in heavy heat. The spray feels light and airy when you apply it, almost refreshing. It doesn't leave you feeling sticky or greasy and doesn't irritate your skin. It sprays evenly, which makes application easy. The citrus sandalwood scent is pleasant and doesn't linger. This is a better option than other bug repellents I've used, and I recommend it to everybody.

Really great insect repellent that works better than the typical sprays we've commonly used. The protection lasted pretty long, and it was effective against the mosquitoes in our backyard. We reapplied every couple of hours and that was sufficient. The reapplication frequency is about the same as other insect repellents, maybe lasting a little longer, but there's way less hesitation to reapply because the product smells so great and isn't sticky on the skin. No skin irritation experienced either. It worked consistently across every situation we threw at it: backyard sitting, walks, camping, and hiking. We're a pretty active outdoor family, typically outdoors each night for walks and we like to camp and hike, so we get a lot of exposure to bugs. This is better than most insect repellents on the market, especially the typical brands you can buy at your local grocery store. The scent is refreshing, and the feel on the skin is something I love. Very exciting find.

Grand Tongo Citrus and Sandalwood Insect Repellent works a lot better than any other insect repellent we've used. With other repellents, we have to reapply once every hour or two. With this one, we only had to apply once every eight hours, and it stayed very effective right up until that mark. The scent is pleasant, almost like wearing a perfume, and there was no skin irritation at all. We are outside a lot, camping, fishing, and playing outdoors, so we're often exposed to various types of insects. We use this every time we go outside and it lasts most of the day. One tip: it's beneficial to wipe off the previous application before reapplying instead of just layering it on. The repellent does leave a residue from the essential oils. It washes off easily from your skin in the shower, but you'll need an oil-based soap to scrub it out fully. Do not apply it directly to your clothes, because it will stain them.

Hands down our favorite bug spray. We loved it so much we purchased our own after trying a sample. It's not sticky, doesn't irritate skin, and our kids are able to use it too. Once the spray dries, it's like you didn't even put anything on. We've tried all the scents and you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all smell great and they all work the same. We use this at least three to four times a week, whether we're playing in the backyard, at soccer, at the beach, or hiking. We will definitely be purchasing it again.
