Hey I would rather have it that way. One day working in the garden last

year the mosquitoes were eating me up. My shower gel is floral and my

shampoo smells like coconut. So the next night I bathed I think with Ivory

soap, just rinsed my hair and then did not use my deodorant. I wanted to

smell bad the next day in the garden. It actually helped!

Now with that said, they eat my son up and he does not use floral soap, it

is just his chemistry,
