Bug Spray Alternative: Perfume! (Really!)
TO: Jean Godfrey-June, beauty director
SUBJECT: MiracleAs I have complained to the beauty department many times, I am one of those people who gets a million mosquito bites the moment I walk out the door. Sunset cocktails are my idea of a perfect hell. But now that I have a baby, I'm less inclined to douse myself with a toxic chemicals in order to keep the bugs away. So when I heard about a perfume from CB called Outside, I made urgent inquiries. It comes in a large, don't-feel-bad-about-spraying-a-lot-of-it bottle, and the scent is really quite nice: botanical, crisp, with a little undercurrent of patchouli—something that is usually way out of my comfort zone (the charms of the Grateful Dead are lost on me), but in this case just gives the whole thing a kind of bohemian, artsy-girl spin. The first time I wore it, everyone told me how great it smelled. And then it happened again. And then, after an extended vacation in the country, I realized that I hadn't gotten one mosquito bite. To say that I'm happy is a vast understatement.
