This summer I'm swapping perfume for this delicious body spray which doubles as mosquito repellent

And it actually smells amazing.

We love perfumes. But because of the widespread myth that they can attract mosquitoes, during vacay season, we tend to reach for them a little less. Until now.

Diptyque has just launched a body spray that not only smells delicious, but also has mosquito repellent properties - a win win.

In what is sure to be a hit for the perfumery, Diptyque's Citronelle & Geranium body spray features notes of lemongrass, lemon, eucalyptus and essential oils which are hailed for their mosquito repellent properties, making it the perfect thing to wear through the summer months.

But what we really love about this body spray is the combination of functional and pleasant smells.

The spray is softened by floral and aromatic notes such as neroli and orange blossom which help elevate the overall scent, with a touch of musk adding depth to the fragrance.

The illustrations adorning the limited edition bottle are inspired by the Mediterranean landscapes where Yves Coueslant and Desmond Knox-Leet, two of Diptyque's founding trio, sourced materials for the beloved perfumes they would go on to create.

We already know we're going to be wearing this all summer long.
