Catnip is a natural mosquito repellent and the smell is fairly mild. Lemon balm is good too. Dried lemon balm loses most of the odor as far as I can tell, but I am not as sensitive as you are.
You can take small mason jar and stuff it full of organic catnip and then fill with olive oil or another oil of your choice and let it sit for a few weeks. Strain and you have a decent bug repellent. Don't use coconut oil though.My fist time, I used that, and that was more difficult to strain because seemed to stay solidified despite the temperature.
