Study: Popular perfume is most effective in repelling mosquitoes

If you own a bottle of Victoria Secret's Bombshell perfume, you might be happy to know you are also in possession of a mosquito repellant.

According to a study by researchers at New Mexico State University, the fragrance is the most effective when it comes to repelling mosquitoes.

The study was conducted on ten commercially available perfumes to examine their effectiveness when it comes to keeping the annoying bugs away.

The Asian tiger mosquito and the yellow fever mosquito were the two types used in the study.

It's important to know that half a milliliter of the perfume was used in the study, so researchers don't believe that it would have the same effect when used in normal concentrations.
