Although some people might think it's just a joke in the pop culture, certainly the smell of the insect repelents is key. Many insects (including mosquitos) feel atracted by the aroma of our skins; It's necessary to remember we are constantly shedding skin, thus meaning particles of dead skin are flying free in the ambient. Whole species of mosquitos have evolutionated enough to distinguish our unique aroma from other species. They are even capable of smell the carbon dioxide we exhale, and this includes the asian tiger mosquito (The species apparently mosquito-chan belongs to, due to the pattern of her dress).
It's worth to mention, the stinkiest the repelent doesn't equal the most effective. One must take in consideration many other factors like the time you pass outdoors, the zone where you live, and the humidity. In any case, if you wanna protect yourself from the asian tiger mosquito, it's better to dispose any stagnant water you have in home, use mosquito nets on doors and windows, and cover your legs and arms as much as you can.
