This is going to be a cute short review, unlike my usual ones. Anyway, tell me how much can you write on a mosquito repellent?
Whenever I go to India, I used to keep two things handy, to save me from mosquito bites. (Or kisses?) They are Odomos anti-mosquito cream and Tortoise mosquito coil.
Odomos, no doubt smells good, as it is perfumed. The manufacturers say that it has a special cream-based formula for easy application. You can use it whether you are out or inside your house. You know what? I can’t stand the smell of it if I had to apply it inside the house to chase away the mosquitoes. Outside at least, you won’t feel that much because of the fresh air. Another thing that I don’t like with this cream is it’s sticky formula.
I feel The Tortoise coil is a better alternative! Of course, you have to put up with the smoke. Yet, it is better than the smell of odomos, which makes me feel sick.
I don’t buy odomos cream any more, as I have even come to the conclusion that mosquito bite could be tolerated than having to use this sticky odomos.
Odomos may be handy to carry the cream while traveling, as it is convenient to carry in a small tube. But what is the use, if you don’t like the smell and its sticky nature? Certainly, I will not recommend this product for anyone, trying to escape from mosquito or any other insect. I hear they make mosquito repellent coils and mats too. But, after my experience with odomos cream, I don’t dare to use any of their products.
I go safely for Tortoise mosquito coils. I like the smell of the smoke, which is supposed to be chemical-free, and I also note that mosquitoes no longer have the guts to come near me, with that lingering smell of smoke. I know, there are other choices like ‘Good night’ mosquito coil, but I prefer to use the Tortoise mosquito coil.
So, don’t go for this odomos guys! I don’t recommend it at all. Keep away from mosquitoes. Keep away from odomos!
