EAU DE FLORIDE | Eau de Cologne - lavender, bergamot, neroli

An interpretation of the classic formulation of a Florida spirit water with notes of lavender, bergamot, rose, neroli, lemon, and clove.

Florida water is a perfumed spirit rumored to be named after the legendary Fountain of Youth, which is purported to have been located in the southernmost state. From the Middle Ages right into the 19th century, perfumed spirits were thought to possess miraculous healing properties and to prevent infection. They were first produced in Europe using essential oils and various plants since medieval times. Florida water was developed in 1808 and rapidly gained popularity for its versatility, particularly in the Southern United States where it was used as a covert means of spiritual practice by enslaved folks, making it an integral part of fragrant and folk history that can still be found in pharmacies and the homes of magic practicioners of various denominations. 

This eau de cologne is lighter than an eau de parfum and can be used as a perfume to scent self and home. It may also be used to anoint objects, or in ritual. The combination of herbs and oils can be used to cleanse and purify oneself or space, to set intentions regarding love, luck, protection, and prosperity or use as an aromatherapy spray for relieving anxiety or depression. Its versatility makes it a useful staple in any home and in many ritual practices.
