Currently Craving: Perfumed Protection

BODYGUARD yki35z

I’m fed up with being a summer smorgasbord every time I go anywhere where the sun is shining and the mozzies are rampant. I’m also fed up with smelling like a chemical hazard* on summer evenings when, post-beach, I am showered and ready for a night out.

The three women behind Bodyguard clearly felt the same and have spent three years developing an effective insect repellent in a range of fragrances developed in Provence by a master perfumer. Just like any other fine fragrance, the five blends (coconut, citrus, moringa, marine and bebe) consist of a top note, heart note and a base. With up to seven hours of protection – even in tropical climates – the active ingredient is environmentally sound, and all sprays are suitable for all ages and skin types. What’s more, if your summer plans are less beach and more bracken, this will also protect you against midges, ticks and other biting insects.
