Vanilla and sweat: How Victoria's Secret perfume became the scent of LSU baseball

The proximity of Alex Box Stadium, the site of this weekend’s NCAA regional, to the Mississippi River brings swarms of gnats every summer. Outfielders have spent games swatting them away from their faces. The Tigers struggled to keep them out of their noses and mouths. Center fielder Zach Watson used to pick them from his ears. Some players rubbed dryer sheets on their hats. It didn’t help.
“You got to do something about these gnats,” Watson told director of baseball operations Nate Fury last year.
A few months ago, one of the men who worked on LSU’s field told assistant equipment manager Matthew Montgomery to try Amber Romance. The man had used it on fishing trips. Montgomery bought 12 bottles from Amazon — six for baseball and six for softball.
Victoria’s Secret markets the scent as “Deep Amber. Sugar Kisses. Chasing sunsets.” One website review described it as “a warm and alluring blend of black cherry, crème anglaise, vanilla and sandalwood.” Montgomery said gnats don’t like the vanilla.

Not surprised. They play and act like they are sponsored by Victoria’s Secret.
The teams of the 90’s used tiger piss as their “perfume”

Haha, I knew exactly what this was regarding before clicking the link. My family has used that while fishing for years now. Sure we smell like hookers, but it legit works.

This man was out get tail and lied and told his wife he was fishing and used the perfume to "deter gnats" and now the lie has gone too far.

They should've kept it a secret. Now word is out to the opponents.

We always have it in the boat. I didn’t believe it for the longest time until I tried it one day while getting eaten up.

Don't know what all the hoopla is about, we've been using it down here in Morgan City for a long time and it works, period. Yeah you smell a little but it's a small price to pay to keep those bugs off you, our golf course has a bottle at the door for everyone to use, can't believe no one knows about this
