Does insect repellent attract midges?

I sprayed myself with Jungle Formula insect repellent and (much to the amusement of my fellow campers) I was slowly surrounded by midges that were attracted to the smell. They also surrounded the spray bottle. To be fair, the midges didn't bite me, but they were so irritating that I went and showered it off - which solved the problem! Won't be buying that brand again
