Broom Spirit

Today, there is probably no more tincture of gorse in Floridawater. However, it was originally the heart of this EDC, even gave it its name (from Genista Florida, the Spanish broom).
The fragrance marketed today is slightly citrusy, mild, redolent of spearmint and spices. In the background only slightly floral, whether broom or jasmine, who knows?
And yes, it does make a good hair tonic. It even has a bit of a conditioning and smoothing effect. As a mouthwash I would take him in case of need, all other uses that are said to him I would not like to try then.

Somehow enchanting Eau de Cologne, preloaded for special connoisseurs

The components actually resemble the original cola recipe, which also originates from the 19th century http://dercolablog.de/cola_cokerezept.php. However, in "Florida Water" - about 80 years older than cola - this spicy mixture is provided with more citric overtones. Good idea, which the Riegele brewery in Augsburg then had again in 1956: Spezi. Spezi is only available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Finland. Anyone who grew up here will be reminded of this lemonade mix, which is not considered stylistically assured, although it is delicious. The rest of the world can enjoy Florida Water as an atypical and enchanting cologne, which - a bit alpine - combines wonderful mountain herb accents à la Ricola with Italian citrus flair

Big surprise

Frankfurt, Kaiserstraße, Indian kiosk. I walk past the shop window and see this little colorful bottle.
I went in right away, tested it. Very cinnamon-heavy but fresh fragrance.
Is pleasant, remains pleasant.
Fifteen minutes later: bottle bought. 221 milliliters for 3.99 euros.
The most beautiful thing for me is that it doesn't end as eau de cologne with neroli, which always seems terribly stale on my skin, but disappears completely after about 20 minutes.
Maybe a little old-fashioned, but good. Not old-fashioned.
Would have liked to pay 2 Euro more and get a glass bottle for it, but, what the hell!
A wonderful refresher. Look forward to the hot summer days!

affordable hot-weather Egoiste with an interesting story

This is nice stuff, and its value per dollar is almost unbeatable! On eBay, it's about $1 US/ounce, shipping included.

With the clove and cinnamon quite noticeable here, this has a bit of that Coca-Cola feeling to it as Chanel Egoiste does. Florida Water is much lighter, though. It's surprisingly cool given the amount of spice. I would say that it would traditionally fit the role of a man more than a woman, but there's no reason a woman couldn't wear it. Keep it in your refrigerator and splash it on when it's hot out but you're getting tired of citrusy summer scents!

Also, note that it is used among hoodoo practitioners as part of occult observances such as ridding an area of bad spirits. Here is one explanation: http://hoodooyoudoo.blogspot.com/2011/09/florida-water.html
