There's some reports that the interaction of soaps and shampoos influence how tasty a person smells, so it might be worth trying different products.
Interesting article. Not sure about the soap thing as I have a coconut body wash and they still love me. But I have used all kinds of soaps over the decades (I’m old) and they have always bitten me. Going to try some new soaps.
There's definitely the genetic component too, but the scents from soap is an interesting thing to test out.
And for what it's worth some types of oil of lemon eucalyptus works reasonably well, if you don't want to use DEET. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/insect-repellent/oil-of-lemon-eucalyptus-insect-repellents-a7989538414/
Some friends really like this stuff "Repel Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent2 Pump" and consumer reports also thinks it works pretty well.
