Ive read some post here regarding Floris Rose Geranium cologne and I just saw a new listing for it on Ebay - I would have purchased it myself but the seller is unwilling to ship overseas.

Floris Rose Geranium Ebay
Re: Floris Rose Geranium Ebay
Funny coincidence - I just got some rose geranium powder to use as a tick repellent, and I was thinking that it would make a nice shaving scent.

One of the myths of our world - probably with a basis in truth - is that Floris once made a Rose Geranium shaving soap.

They certainly, maybe still do, make a bath soap in the scent. I have a couple of cakes left in the box of three I bought many years ago. It's lovely, and reputed to have been WSC's favourite bath soap.

Well, I bought the toilet water. I'm going to use it to add fragrance to the lather of a few of my really old tallow soaps that have lost their scents. I'll try to report on it.

Congratulations! Better that somebody here bought it, then at least I can get a report!

Re: Floris Rose Geranium Ebay
The vintage Floris Rose Geranium toilet water arrived. Its fragrance is wonderful, with the earthy greenness of the geranium balancing the sweet rose. In fact, it smells so good that I am going to try it at pulse points - although my skin usually does not tolerate toilet waters or colognes - rather than just for adding fragrance to old shaving soaps.
