The scent is lovely, especially compared to literally every other bug spray. It does keep mosquitoes off of you and seems to help some against gnats and black/stable flies as well. Does nothing for deer flies, but no spray will since they hunt by sight not smell.
But the biggest advantage of this spray was totally unexpected - it COOLS YOU DOWN. Think Vicks vapo-rub. I assume it’s the eucalyptus. I spray it on every morning before going outside to work and, instead of sweating profusely, feeling dizzy, miserable, and getting dangerously dehydrated, i sweat about as much as a normal human being. But this makes every breeze a cool breeze. It’s absolutely refreshing. It makes being outside relaxing and pleasurable rather than the absolute nightmare that coastal virginia summers usually are. I can’t stress enough what a game changer this is for me. I’m extremely heat intolerant, have had heat stroke a few times and heat exhaustion dozens of times. It makes a 90 degree day with 85% humidity tolerable, and with a fan nearby it helps in even hotter, more humid conditions.
I have some sort of reaction to products with DEET - it slowly but surely makes my skin feel like it’s on fire, which obviously makes heat and humidity worse, and I start sweating even more profusely than I would without it, to the point that it starts running into my eyeballs. I still use deet based sprays on my clothes, where it will have minimal skin contact, but use this spray anywhere skin is exposed.
I actually went and looked up the safety studies on this stuff on the epa website and read the 26 page registration eligibility document to see how safe it really was, since I apply this at least twice, usually 3 to 4 times a day. Besides the nauseating descriptions of the lab experiments that sprayed it into rabbits’ eyeballs and let it fester for 24 hours, among other cruelties (which are not just standard, but required for FDA approval/registration, so the manufacturer can’t be faulted here), the document was reassuring in showing that the spray has no apparent negative effects in the short term, and appears to have none in the long term as well. But even if it did I don’t think I’d stop using it 😂
It does need to be reapplied every few hours and NEVER let it get into your eyes - the bunnies took that blow for us and suffered greatly for it - please do not waste their sacrifice. Some lab rats also took one for the team by showing that you shouldn’t inhale it - but the effects they experienced were, in my humble opinion, more likely due to an insanely high dose being intranasally administered continuously for 4 hours, rather than passively inhaling a typical amount one might breathe in during spray application. The oral administration tests had similarly awful results, but i opine once again that the ludicrously excessive conditions they were subjected to were more likely the cause. Still - don’t drink or inhale it.

...This spray scent is pleasant and it works great. I could watch the mosquitoes try to land on my skin but they did not. I highly recommend it!Read more
This works well but has a very strong scent, which isn't bad, but so strong. I guess you can't have it both ways so Id rather it work, and this does.Read more
Smells nasty but is effective. I think the Lemon Eucalyptus scent is hard to do well anyway, and most bug sprays don't have a sought-after smell....Read more
This is a great product!! The scent takes a little getting used to...but so much better than chemical sprays. I will be purchasing more.Read more

Smells good but it seems to draw flies. I had to use off to repel the mosquitoes and the flies. Won't be using this outside.Read more
...It does have a strong smell going on which doesn't smell like lemon or eucalyptus to me, more like citronella but at least the odor dissipated...Read more

The scent is so poignant it makes me cough. The smell last the rest of the day....Read more
Cutter Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent - Works Quite Well
Cutter Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent works quite well and comes in an easy-to-use pump bottle that sprays evenly. It has a pleasant smell and is easy to wash off. I noticed it even helped a bit with biting flies (it didn't stop them but did cut the number down). I would purchase it again - Five stars from me :)
