FLORIDA WATER.....?

M&L of New Jersey swear their formula hasn't changed since the 1800's.... I used M&L Florida water all through the 1960's and 1970's and I know that the current formula is not what I used to buy....The formula 50 years ago was very high proof, my guess is about 80-85% alcohol , and with more complex fragrance...It was closer to 4711 in scent and potency... Two Girls is still a nice , potent Florida water , and still comes in glass...The bottles of M&L

I just bought are also glass, but the formula is weak in both scent and proof....I have not tried the PERUVIAN Florida water , but intend to do so....
 
I picked up a small, plastic bottle of FW last year. My version had very little scent to it. Now it just sits in the back of the cabinet, lonely and unused.
 
Agree there's a definite scent connection between FW and 4711. I'd love to try the 2 Girls brand, though.
 
‘JU JU!!’ Yikes!! Is this a plus or a minus for AS?? :a21::a21:
It means it has healing powers.
Great grandma would spray your bed sheets and pillow cases with it when you were sick.
Then she give you a toddy with Cutter shark
Rub your chest with a homemade poultice cause she was a Cherokee Med Woman
Cover you with about 3 quilts and let you sweat the sickness out.

They don’t make women like that anymore!! :a29:
 
I’ve been using the ML Peru-NY version in a plastic bottle (from shoeboxshaveshop) all summer and enjoying it. Nice citrus+ scent and alcohol sting. Good value. I like it.

Love M and L Florida Water, found a few plastic bottles at the local surplus grocery $1 or $2 each, decanted into glass. I also added some to about 2oz. Avon Spicy, 4oz. Bottle so half and half, a nice spicy orange, almost like a spice cake scent, love that too! Enjoy
