DEET-Free Insect Repellent with Picaridin, The 12 Hour Protection, DEET Alternative - Citrus + Sandalwood

I live in Godforsaken Savannah, Georgia with what can only be described as mosquitoes(and sand gnats) from hell. I also happen to be one of those unfortunate souls who apparently has an invisible neon sign broadcasting “Bug Buffet: all you can eat!” to every bloodsucking pest within a two mile radius. I’ve tried everything natural and even stooped so low as to using Off/Cutter(something I vowed I’d Never do). Nothing worked like this product. I don’t know who sold their soul to concoct this potent brew but It Actually Works! Seriously, it’s miraculous. Not only does it work, it lasts for hours, has almost no scent(and I am insanely picky about such things) and it’s not greasy or sticky. I just pray that they don’t stop making it. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side but it’s worth every penny. My skin and sanity are saved at last!

Mosquitoes are so bad in our area. I’ve been happy with this spray. The smell is very light but nice. It doesn’t go on oily, feels nice on especially compared to others I’ve tried. (Arm photo to show it’s not too oily). It is pricey but hopefully the can will last a while.

If you're looking for a DEET-free alternative that actually works, Grand Tongo Insect Repellent is a game-changer! With 12-hour protection and a pleasant Citrus + Sandalwood scent, this is a must-have for outdoor adventures.Why This Repellent Stands Out:✅ DEET-Free & Skin-Friendly – Uses picaridin instead of DEET, making it safe for kids, pets, and sensitive skin without the greasy or sticky feel.✅ 12-Hour Long-Lasting Protection – Shields against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects for extended periods.✅ Pleasant Scent (Citrus + Sandalwood) – Unlike traditional repellents, this smells fresh and natural instead of chemical-heavy.✅ Non-Greasy & Fast-Absorbing – Doesn’t leave a sticky residue on skin or clothes.✅ Great for Outdoor Activities – Perfect for hiking, camping, fishing, and backyard gatherings.Our Experience:We tested this on a humid summer evening, and it worked amazingly well! No bites, no irritation, and the light, fresh scent was a welcome change from overpowering chemical sprays. It also lasted through a long hike and some light sweating without needing reapplication.Pros & Cons:✅ Pros:✔️ DEET-free & safe for the whole family✔️ 12-hour protection✔️ Non-greasy & fast-absorbing✔️ Light, fresh scent❌ Cons:Needs reapplication if swimming or sweating heavilyScent fades after a while, but protection remainsFinal Verdict:Grand Tongo DEET-Free Insect Repellent is a fantastic alternative to DEET-based sprays. It’s effective, pleasant-smelling, and safe for sensitive skin, making it perfect for anyone who spends time outdoors!

Very light scent. Seems to keep mosquitos away while I'm out doing yardwork.

I'm so glad i got this set! The scents are lovely, they don't last long, but it that didn't matter. We live in the woods by the water and the bugs here ARE INSANE! but this has helped so so much!! I very much recommend this product!

I do think it helped keep most of the bugs at bay and it did smell nice. But left me and my clothes feeling sticky and thick it was super noticeable and did not dissipate. Still got bit some but not as much as others using other sprays..

Our back yard is inundated with mosquitos this year. I have tried several different repellents to help prevent getting bit by these flying monsters. Grand Tongo is the number one for me. I spray it on before I go outside in the morning, and I do not get a single bite the entire day. I purchased the fragrance free. It has a small sticky feel when first applied, kind of like a sunblock, but this quickly disappears and there is no sticky residue after the initial spray. I will definitely be a repeat customer, LOVE this product!

Really like this product. It smells good when you apply, but the scent goes away and you don't feel like you're wearing bug spray at all. It dries and you don't feel it on your skin either. Wore it in Minnesota and it was very effective. I am the type of person that gets bit more than everyone else and I will keep using this product.
