Bougie Bug Spray: The Ultimate Spring Break Beauty Essential
Spring is here, and that means sun-drenched vacations, beachside cocktails, and outdoor adventures. But with all that fresh air comes an unwelcome guest—bugs. Lucky for you, we’ve got the ultimate travel hack: bougie bug spray.
Picture this: a fragrance that smells like a luxe escape and keeps pesky insects away. The BUZZ Skin’s multi-tasking perfumes do just that, blending high-end scent profiles with natural insect-repelling ingredients. “Certain fragrance notes can naturally help repel insects,” says Lisa Jean, founder of The BUZZ Skin. That means you can swap the chemical-laden bug sprays for something that’s both effective and effortlessly chic.
Scents That Keep Bugs Away (and Smell Incredible)
Some fragrance notes naturally deter insects thanks to their powerful botanical compounds. “A number of essential oils—like citronella, lavender, peppermint, geranium, cedarwood, and patchouli—contain active ingredients that most flying insects find repellent,” explains Lisa Jean.
So, what does that mean for your travel perfume lineup? If you want to smell amazing without attracting bugs, these scents are your new go-to:
7 Perfumes with Insect-Repelling Notes That Still Smell Luxe
1. Citrus-Based Scents – Lemon, lemongrass, and bergamot are packed with Citral, which bugs dislike. Shop Nantucket, Hamptons, and Vacay Perfume for the ultimate fresh, sun-kissed vibe.
2. Lavender – A calming, spa-like scent that also helps keep mosquitoes away. Stay tuned—this dreamy new fragrance drops next week!
3. Peppermint & Spearmint – Crisp, cool, and energizing, with the added bonus of keeping flying pests at bay. Perfect for those who love a fresh, clean scent.
4. Cedarwood & Patchouli – Warm, earthy, and sophisticated. Find this rich, grounding scent in Jet-Set and Y’all—ideal for evening cocktails on a rooftop or fireside nights.
5. Geranium & Citronella – A floral-citrus duo known for its natural bug-repelling power. These are the active ingredients in our best-seller, CHARLESTON—the ultimate Southern charm in a bottle.
How to Wear It:
Spray on clothing and directly onto skin. For maximum effect apply your fragrance to pulse points—wrists, neck, behind the ears, and even ankles. These areas generate heat, helping the scent (and its bug-repelling benefits) diffuse more effectively.
The Ultimate Spring Travel Hack
Whether you’re jet-setting to the Amalfi Coast, partying in Tulum, or soaking up the sun in Palm Beach, a multi-tasking perfume-repellent is a must-have in your carry-on. Because let’s be real—no one wants to spritz themselves with harsh, sticky bug spray before a night out.
Smell amazing. Stay bite-free. Travel in style.
