How much is that stuff?

Went to their site, searched "amber romance", got 135 hits. They seem to run around 12$, but I still don't know which to order.

You need to get the pump liquid, that's what PRO uses.

The stuff from Victoria secret is Vanilla Lace, Dont get me wrong it works well but dosent last long. It's not Amber Romance. I seen that swamp swatter and it smells like vanilla extract. Haven't tried it yet.

Are we still talking about repellant or panties? I could see where vanilla lace panties wouldn't last long.

LOL, I'm sure it's Vanilla Lace. Victoria Secret also makes Amber Romance but when I went there and asked for the bug stuff she brought me right to it, comes in lotion and spray. She told me they sell the shite out of it to hunters and fishermen. Just dosent last long, especially if your sweating a lil.

I use a product called cactus juice. It's high as cat fat ($12 a bottle) but it works. It's hard to find but they have a website that lists retailers. Smells like the orange push up ice cream things we used to eat as a kid.

Nothing works for me. Nothing. My grandfather has SSS on his boat 30 years ago. Didn't work then. Doesn't work now.

I have a bottle of Amber Romance in my boat right now. The stuff works. Knats were getting crazy in Delcroix last November and I asked by dad if he wanted some as I sprayed it on. He laughed and said no... 5 minutes later he changed his mind. I have no idea if Vanilla Lace works, but Amber Romance does and you just reapply every couple hours.

Definitely Amber Romance. I have been using it for two years now. I'm not sure what vanilla lace is but the Amber Romance works, hands down.

Still doesn't work for me. Maybe you guys smell like French whores to start with and the added perfume makes you disgusting?

If that's what the lady brought you, that's why you're still itching. It's Amber Romance...not a doubt in my mind.
