Had to move 5 years ago...Put a brand new plastic bottle of U.S. made M&L Florida Water in a box, where it was stored indoors...Pulled it out today , the plastic has degraded so bad ( with no sunlight exposure ! ) that in addition to the clear plastic turning dull , yellow and cloudy , the liquid has been rendered useless...So bad I can't even use it in bath water.....I don't have a source for the M&L
Florida Water made in PERU , last time I looked they still used real glass...TWO GIRLS Florida Water from Hong Kong I'm sure is still packed in glass , but as nice as it is, it's just different than the M&L Florida Water from Peru or the U.S.....

Yikes! If it does that to plastic imagine what it does to your skin after years of constant use 
The interaction of plastic and chemicals contained in AS can have some "interesting" results.
Many colognes, fragrances, perfumes - etc, will change color with time even if they are in glass. I had a bottle of Nuit de Noel from the 20s and the perfume itself was scary dark. I've had Aramis from the 70s that was ridiculously orangy/amber. Florida water is cheap, I wouldn't sweat it, just dump it and order more from Amazon or even Ebay.
I don't blame you for hating plastic bottles. They do have a use but not for aftershaves and colognes IMHO.
I do like plastic bottles do to the fact that they don't break when accidently knocked off a small bathroom vanity countertop.

I always decant to glass
After being on the forum a short time I started doing the same thing.
Glass bottles are everywhere. No problem at all finding some to keep handy in case you get in a bottle of AS in plastic.
UGH! Too bad! 
Glass is definitely better IMO.

these are also plastic , I don't believe M&L New York makes anything in glass now , only Peru , and from my searches on the "bay" , there are fake bottles being sold on a regular basis...I would'nt mind decanting a few new plastic bottles into a vintage glass quart bottle , but they run about $45...

This version is still available in a 7.5oz glass bottle:
I bought a bottle of it locally from a New Age/Spiritual Store. It is commonly used in certain faiths and rituals. If you have a shop like that, see if they have it or can order it. Or look online at those type of suppliers. Here's one I found:
MURRAY & LANMAN ( L&K ) FLORIDA WATER 7.5 OZ IN A GLASS BOTTLE

Labels are great examples of the Ben Day technique. Brings back memories. I learned the trade in an old wood cut then photoengraving and finally litho trade shop.

The 2 bottles of the current production are nothing like the originals I used in the 60's - 70's...Real weak, watery stuff with no high proof punch...what a shame...
Sad. What's the point if it doesn't slap your face?

It troubles me to hear that. This was on my list to try.
