Always looking for something natural, I bought this one too. I bought Wondercide last year and use it, but I too think the smell is a bit overpowering.
Once I received the Bug Soother I sprayed it on my hand to check out the smell and I thought it was very close to Wondercide! 
Then I sprayed Wondercide on my other hand and I have to say that Bug Soother smelled better and just a bit less 'aggressive.' lol I was interested in Bug Soother for the gnats on my horses too since a lot of the reviews said it was great on gnats! I think the ones on the horses are actually called black flies? I'm not sure but everyone calls them gnats and they can be awful! They swarm around there face and ears like something awful. It seems it only at certain times in the summer. That's why I put face masks on my horses in the summer. They can't stand the gnats either. (who wants a gnat in your ear??) They can be worse than flies! When they are bothered by them and they see me coming with the face masks, they practically run to me! lol I'll let y'all know how it works this summer!
