I am really happy with this new item at Target. It smells really pleassant and clean. Its not overwhelming; its light and refreshing. It did a great job at keeping me bite free.
Can't smell anything but picardian.

Gimmick fragrance that is not at all noticeable but just smells overwhelmingly like picardian. You'd be better off just getting a standard picardian repellant or a scentless picardian(cheaper and works the same). This costs more with no perk.

The only product that I trust to keep my house safe from ticks and mosquitoes. The smell and feel are added bonuses too!
Absolutely Spectacular

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!
Effective and pleasant to use.

Loved this product. We'll purchase it again. We took it to Aruba which has had a lot of rain in the last 6 months. Lots of mosquitos in the shade all day and in the evening. This repellent worked great and it didn't leave any odor or greasy feeling on our skin. Very effective!
Pretty good

I took this on a recent trip to Jamaica and used it twice a day as directed. I still got bites, maybe not as many as I usually get. But I really liked the way it dried and wasn't as sticky or smelly as other brands.
No DEET!

I am literally a mosquito magnet. They. Love. Me. Not anymore!! I only had one bite in 11 days, and the mosquitoes were hovering over me constantly but just didn't land!! This stuff works great, and does not contain deet.
Smells great

Smells really good and Leaves almost like a body oil feeling on skin but not the gross sticky kind. The only thing that keeps the bugs off our ankles and kids

I always thought the mosquitos were the worst, but recently realized it’s the gnats that really get to me. I think I’m allergic! Big swollen bites! This spray has been SO HELPFUL! Thank you!

We got inundated with gnats for some reason this summer. I have tried several different bug sprays to keep them off me because they bite and this was another one I'd hoped would have worked better. If you don't want them flying in your face, you have to put this on your face (rub on with your hands do not spray on your face). But still. . . The gnats still fly pretty close and it just doesn't repel them enough. I don't like the way it feels on my skin either. I want to take a shower right after I put it on because it leaves a film that isn't very pleasant. Sorry! This stuff isn't cheap so people need to hear a true review. I would not buy this again.
Way too expensive but does work

I was looking for a bug spray for my morning walks that wasn't so stinky as a lot of them set off my allergies or give me headaches from the scent. This one doesn't have a super strong smell after it dries down but at first it is a bit strong and doesn't smell anything like the scent description to me. So I was a little disappointed at that. I was expecting a more pleasant scent. It does seem to work at repelling bugs and I like the spray mechanic. My main problem is the price. Like wow this is expensive for what you get, it only lasted a couple weeks of use and I don't use that much. Not willing to pay that much for it if I have to buy every other week.
Really worked for me.

We vacation in South Carolina, on the coast. Bugs are a real problem and we've tried many DEET free alternatives and none have worked, so we had little expectation tango would be any different. WRONG! Worked great. Take the dog out for a walk in early morning when the skeeters will swarm you if you aren't protected and Tongo worked great!
Smells great! No oily residue - I wish there would have been a bigger bottle to purchase!

I used this product in a mosquito and tick ridden area. I only sprayed on my lower legs and ankles since that's the skin that was exposed. It's pleasant smelling, most bug sprays aren't. It worked effectively. I only applied once in a 12 hrs period and walked away with zero bites. In my opinion it works better than Avon's skin so soft, and off. This will be a repeat purchase for me.
