Yes, perfume can attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are drawn to certain fragrances found in perfumes, colognes, lotions, soaps, and shampoos. Sweet and floral scents in particular are attractive to them.
Mosquitoes are also attracted to the smells of ripe fruits like citrus, mangoes, and bananas. Additionally, they are sensitive to carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which are naturally produced by humans.
To avoid attracting mosquitoes, it's best to avoid wearing strongly scented perfumes or lotions when outdoors, especially during the evening and night when mosquitoes are most active. Instead, opt for unscented or lightly scented products.
