Fancy Fragrance

For folks in Wyoming, getting caught up in the newest perfumes or colognes to hit the shelves of department stores and Sephora makes very little "scents."

There's a very practical reason behind this: We don't want to be eaten alive by the dark menacing clouds of mosquitos those smells would likely attract.

So, rather than reaching for my Stella or Coco in the mornings as I used to, I have found a new alluring fragrance I believe isn't getting the marketing attention it deserves.

OFF Skintastic in Tropical Fresh.

It's light tropical fruit smell will make you feel as though you're sipping coladas on a breezy beach. Only you don't have to worry about contracting West Nile!

For those with sensitive skin there is OFF Skintastic Unscented, and for men (and super woodsy women) there is the Original OFF.

These fragrances don't cost an arm and a leg and can be found at most Wal-Marts, supermarkets, gas stations, or for the high-end shopper - Targets.

And the packaging! It's colorful, expressive, and who wouldn't want to join that family walking in the woods?

So, move over you other 5th Avenue scents! For me there's a new kid in town! For at least another month or two anyway when those pesky pests aren't hatching by the gazillions.
