    I passed over buying this at my local drugstore after reading negative reviews on my mobile. Who knew it was so useful for rubdowns?

    Thanks for posting: entertaining reading!

    For the price, you should give it a try if you like a clean-refreshing scent that's not too strong. It's one of my favorites.

    I had seen a YouTube Viedo about this product and when I was in a Dollar Store I saw it.

    Bought it and even used it today. Not Bad for the Price.

    I saw some today next to the baby stuff (?). It was more expensive than what is usually listed in the US, I saw it at $6.99 CDN from memory. I almost bought some but I need to finish my stash first...

    Florida Water has been used for years by golfers playing in the heat of the summer in the south. Traditionally, you take a cooler full of icy water, add a portion of Florida Water, and keep a terrycloth towel in the water. When the sun gets to you, you place this ice cold, wet towel on your head. The cooling effect is amazing. Many make their own concoctions of Florida Water, using alchohol and a bit of aftershave, but a lot of people swear by having the original Florida Water.

    I used it a LOT this summer. It really cools you down enough so that when it wears off most of that "hot" feeling you get when you're active has passed.

    My Great Grandmother sworn by this and said it worked for all the things listed on the bottle. She was a Med Woman and used it as a base for her rubs and such.

    I use it as a Laundry fresher for my gym clothes and in the hamper. It is a great AS and Brace. In the Summer I mix it 50/50 with water in a spray bottle and spray it on after I shower. I keep it at my house all the time.
