Ritual & Incense
Florida Water Splash.
A pale gold splash of citrus, lavender and clove after a nineteenth-century toilet-water formula, patted on the neck or poured into wash water, as Caribbean and Latin American households have long done.

About this product
Before a delicate task, or at the doorstep of a new day, a splash of something bright and clean. Florida Water was first sold in American port cities in the early eighteen-hundreds, and it traveled far past its beginnings as a gentleman's toilet water, taking root across the Caribbean and Latin America as an everyday cleansing splash.
Folklore there holds it good for more than skin: a capful in wash water is said to freshen a room's mood, and a dab on the hands before delicate work is thought to clear whatever clung on from before.
Pale gold and thinner than any modern cologne, ours follows a nineteenth-century formula close to the original, with nothing synthetic added. It opens with citrus and a clean sweep of lavender, settles into clove and a whisper of cinnamon, and fades within the hour, as the old formula always did.
Details
- Citrus oils, clove, lavender and a trace of cinnamon in a light alcohol base
- A splash, not a spray, in a plain glass bottle
How to use
Splash a little into cupped palms and press it to the back of your neck, or add a capful to a basin of water for wiping down a doorstep or an altar cloth. A small bottle goes a long way.
A household staple from an older world, ready for your threshold.
