Florida Water is great stuff

[Matt P]

Gentlemen,

I finally got around to buying some Florida Water by Murray and Lanman. This stuff is great! Nice citrus top that fades to spice. It is kind of like a citrusy Bay Rum without the bay. It fades fairly quickly so I can apply liberally, which I like.

Oh and it is cheap (~ $7.00) and comes in a cool glass bottle.

I love their website . . . $35 per dozen glass bottles. If it was in a store here I'd buy some.

I love South Florida water for shaving and showering, not so much for drinking.

Or is that a product for sale?

just don't use it as an AS. PURE BURN.

The glass bottles are a nice touch. Even a big time plastic Pinaud user like me is a little put off by the nasty M&L plastic bottles.

My local CVS carries the Murray and Lanman's Florida water in plastic bottles (tucked in the ethnic preparations section). Would much prefer the glass bottles.

+1 Totally agree...burns like crazy.

If the scent lasted, it would be a true high end product. It sells for around two bucks in these parts.

I noticed Krogers started carrying it. Really cheap--the 7 ounce bottles are something like $2.

It's in the ethnic section by the showering things/soaps, not by shaving items.

They also carry that orange blossom cologne--not the M&L, it's Sampson or something like that. A little too sweet for me.

I like Florida Water, but it's primary usage for me was scenting hankies. It's been bumped off by 4711 in that regard.

And Florida Water was the first cologne I could really pick up individual notes on. For instance, now I really smell the cinnamon/clove base after the citrus-y headnotes fade away

One must embrace the burn.

To me the burn is no worse than clubman or some of my bay rums.

You gotta love the website. It does just about everything except reanimate the dead:

Though I wonder if you poured it over a cemetary if Zombies would emerge from the earth. Could just be that nobody has tried it yet.

I really like the Maxam (Chinese) Florida Water. It comes in a glass bottle as well.

Clubman - burn x1
FW - burn x10

If you can handle it, I applaud you.

Along with the Florida Water, I've been interested in trying Kananga Water..

Does it smell like the M and L? None of the Asians ones I have tried do. Not bad necessarily although one was very weak.

The Kananga Water is based on ylangylang...one of those love it or hate is scents. I love it my wife hates it. The Kananga has some serious legs, as does the Rose and Orange colognes from L&K. Luckily, the wife likes those. The L*K offerings are nothing fancy. IMHO, they are fine for weekends working in the yard and that kind of casual activity but not for the office.

Love the Florida Water; it's one of the only "American" type scents I can easily get in the UK.
