Florida Water Workshop

Florida Water isn't from Florida and it isn't a 'water' Where did it originate? And how did it become an important tool for witchy work.

"Florida Water" is part potion and part perfume. We love it for the fragrance and for our cleansing rituals. Guided by Monique from Alchemy, we delve into the history, a variety of formulas circulating in historical publications. We also explore the origin story, the connection colognes share with medicine and magic, and versions made by others.

Customize your own Florida Water using 100% botanicals.


For twenty years Monique has been using the aromatics from plants to create functional skincare and perfumes. First for herself, and now for Alchemy Slow Living Studio. Monique is the owner, esthetician and formulator at Alchemy in Ferndale, making Beauty for Busy Spirits.
