They went and changed the range! I'm pretty sure that they no longer sell the old favourite. Not by the same name anyway. I was about to ask the same question though!

TT.

The avonshop website shown earlier has it on offer at £1.50 .  and the name is Skin-so-soft DRY OIL BODY SPRAY  in Soft and fresh ( green bottle ).  Ps one bottle lasts ages ..  but you need to re-apply regularly.  I also back this up with a clearlite lamp which has worked well for me so far - and that is coming from someone who can prevents the rest of a campsite being bitten , just by being a mossie magnet.

AS an ex underkeeper to a gamekeeper, nothing worked for for me except paraffin used as a cologne(sp) behind the ears. I am a regular walker in the highlands and even the locals when doing the garden, or local authority workers digging the road, wear mosi nets. There isn't an easy answer, some products work better on different people. Midgies love me for what ever reason and the only relief I get is with paraffin.

Hi Everyone

I bought some of the Avon Skin-so-soft DRY oil body spray, MAN what a stink I dont wonder the midges dont come near, niether will anyone else, and if your a guy wear it with great care as you could attract a very large number of the GAY community.

This is awsome stuff, but smells like a W---E's handbag.

Steve.

I just bought some off their Avon's website £6 for 2 bottles including delivery.  Not bad, i've paid £5 per bottle before.......................... and it does work i should know believe me.

I just didn't let an 'old friend' of mine borrow once and she got bit to hell by Lake Windermere, i just sat there with a smug look on my face .  Mind so did my OH and he looked like Uncle Fester when he came back from fishing .................... well he wouldn't listen would he!!!!

Fab stuff!
