So being that I like this product, I started a search and good ol' Google found this. AS I read this I was envisioning woodcuts of the process in those marvelous old timey butcher, I mean Surgeons theater.This was 1881 so the urban world was really stinky and then they found it a great well give it a read.. Enjoy!

Interesting.
It read as though it was state of the art for 1881.

Well for those of us with 'sensitive nervous organization suffering from procrastination ...or lassitude' the Florida Water effects are 'positive and marked'. I guess I'm in. : )
So....if you don't feel like mowing the lawn, just a quick spray of FW and zoom,zoom, zoom! I like.
But seriously, I didn't realize the depth of uses for Florida Water. I knew it had been around since the 1800s and I knew a little about Murray & Lanman, but I didn't realize what the potion itself was professed to do. A regular all around heal all compound from flowers. Awesome. It did find a favorable use some years later in the spooky world of ghosts and demons and such. It makes a handy air purifier when they are about, apparently.
I first turned on to Florida Water made by an Indian company, Goya. It is great stuff for me. I really love the scent. Then, figuring I was a big FW fan I overpaid for a couple of bottles of the Murray & Lanman and found I didn't like it as much. Unfortunately, the Goya one, which was sourced out of South America, is not being sold by Goya (large distributor). I am not sure if it can be purchased from South America and I hope one day I look more into it and track it down again. It is a wonderful water.
Great read - thnx!!
