Well, having just moved to Florida, I needed to prepare.
Wow, I thought I loved the Rub. I'm a piker compared to you. Good on ya!
Nice stash. I've not yet experienced the rub (is that like The Veg... The Rub? lol), but I have a bottle incoming from a trade. Looking forward to having it for when I'm camping in the summer (combining it with Vostok, since the word is that is one of the coldest menthol combinations you can get without adding your own crystals at this point).
Welcome to Florida, KJ, where real men don't perspire - they sweat.
I have a bottle of the Osage that so far has lasted close to one year.
Yep, I use it pretty liberally. Especially in the summer and after almost a year Im on my first bottle. 
But I too have a hidden bottle. LOL.

I have been known to sprinkle a little bit of the Rub on my chest and back to keep me cool a little longer in the mornings. Its rough when you get up at 5am and it's already 100!
Good stuff!
Does it really smell like that stuff? This sounds very unappealing.

Good stuff, early for it here where it snowed less than a week ago ..
Menthol with a touch of citrus in my opinion but I don't personally own it for the smell, I own it because I live in Sweat Swamp Alabama and there is nothing better than Osage Rub in the summer for turning your florid face into a frostbitten mug.
My first bottle just arrived today. I can't wait to see how much more of a menthol kick it has than porasso green as, pacific rush, and AV ice blue. QCS Vostok will be here tomorrow! Bring on the heat!

Vicks is straight up menthol. Osage Rub is menthol and eucalyptus. It says it also contains "fragrance", but I don't detect anything else. Straight out of the bottle, I just smell eucalyptus, but as soon as you apply it the menthol hits. Boy Howdy, does it ever hit. The scent doesn't linger long at all, we use it mainly for the cooling.
What I like to do is apply The Rub, and let it dry down. Then before I'm ready to head out I'll apply a regular scented aftershave. Then the magic happens. The aftershave re-activates the menthol on your skin, giving you a second cooling blast!

When you mix those two, prepare to feel like you don't have a face for an hour! But in a good way...
You're in Florida so that should last you through July at least.

That's the plan. I'll be loving it when it's 85+ out, with humidity, and I'm in the woods camping.
