189 Florida Water

 

•  

   

  I ordered some Florida Water stuff from empress-secrets.com, after
  reading that Florida Water smells like Cinnamon. Well...it doesn't.
  
  But it's not bad. I ordered the perfume spray, the shampoo & the
  conditioner, and they sent me the soap free. That was pretty nice
  of 'em.
  
  The ingredient list says it contains the essential oils of the
  following: Lavender, Bergamot, Cinnamon, Clove, and Peppermint.
  
  The perfume spray goes on and smells very lavendery-at first. Then it
  mellows out and ends up smelling kind of woodsy, like a very light
  cedar fragrance. Wierd. But no cinnamon. Ah well. The spray wears off
  pretty quickly, but the shampoo/conditioner is sticking with me. I
  like the way it smells anyway, and I like the 'magical' connotations
  of the oils:
  
  
  LAVENDER = Air/Mercury
  Part(s) used: Flowers
  Love, Protection and Purification
  Burn to induce a restful sleep, place on the pillow or temples for a
  restful sleep, use as a bath to purify and cleanse, or burn for the
  same reason. Long ago, it was believed if you carried this, you
  would see ghosts.
  
  BERGAMOT = Earth/Jupiter
