Sol De Janeiro Perfume #71 attracts bugs?

So apparently #SolDeJaneiro perfume number 71 attracts bugs?
Im a High School student and almost every girl at my school RAVES about Sol De Janeiro perfume. But the other day I overheard a group of 6-10 girls at school talking about how number 71 attracts bugs. 

From what I heard one of the girls went hiking last weekend and bugs started to sum around her. She sprayed her perfume on when a lot of bugs started to crawl and fly around her. So is this true?

I took it upon myself to test this.

First I tried to spray it on one those misquito catchers except my doesn't work. I sprayed the perfume on it and there were only few misquitos came.

Something I did start to realize is that the girls at my school wear A LOT of perfume. So if there were quite a few sprays then my assumption would be correct.

So that’s what I did next, I sprayed it 5 times and a concerning amount of bugs came.

My conclusion is that yes Sol De Janeiro perfume number 71 does attract quite a lot of bugs. Now of course there a ways to prevent it the easiest one being just do 1 or 2 sprays.

The reason that this perfume attracts bugs is because of its sweet vanilla scent.

 

Thanks for your time, TBI

I have a few items from Sol de Janeiro and I love them I have the BumBum cream the #62 spray and the Rio Deo and everytime I go outdoors on a walk I find bees swarming close to be. They have eleven landed on me and my dog and I didn’t know until I saw it on my dogs back as I put him in his seat. Everytime I for on my patio bees appear and there’s no active nest….. Has anyone else ran into this. P.S I have not been stung scared out my mind and took off running twice but I do realize how gentle they are if you stay calm because I was literally walking on me down the street with me and he never did anything I only knew when I dropped my hand and I hit him off my shorts.

That is the main reason why I didn't want to try that scent, I'm soooo scared of spiders

Re: Sol De Janeiro Perfume #71 attracts bugs?

I can't express surprise that I found a message about bugs here. After all, not so long ago, I had to prepare a small study on the behavior of insects. This topic was difficult for me, and I didn't know how to do it. That's why I decided to pay for homework and not worry about that research. And it turns out that different school situations can trigger different experiments that can provide valuable research results. I'm interested in your experiment to see if Sol De Janeiro No. 71 attracts bugs. I had to use the site https://assignmentbro.com/ca/pay-for-homework for my task because I could not even guess that it was possible to conduct some experiments. But I got a good study. From my knowledge, I can add that different perfumes can attract different types of bugs and that bugs' behavior can also depend on location and time of day. Overall, your experiment was a great way to satisfy your curiosity. Thanks for sharing!

@SolDeJeniero Lol I never wear fragrance when I go hiking because they attract bugs. And sometimes bees 😬

Re: Sol De Janeiro Perfume #71 attracts bugs?

@SolDeJeniero 71 is one of my favorite SDJ scents and I've honestly never had this problem.  Interesting observation...
