Mosquitoes (and biting gnats) only do two things, and do them really well:
1. find mammals (such as people) by smelling their breath and their skin
2. make more mosquitoes
Mosquitoes can only smell carbon dioxide from your breath and your skin chemicals. They cannot smell perfume, food, roses...

I am interested in your reasoning/experience - my first thought would have been to pack the opposite combination.
