Marie Antoinette LOVED this stuff!!!

She was said to have loved to perfume herself, and to scent her linens with Orange flower water. She also used it in her cosmetics and in many of her rooms. She even cultivated bitter orange trees solely for the purpose of producing this lovely smelling water.

Check it out and see why it is so much loved for so many centuries!

NOTE: This scented water is not perfume and the scent is not meant to last long. Their purpose is for a quick pick me up and to add to general household items like bath waters, body, hair, gloves, and washing tubs to give a lovely but extremely short-lived burst of freshness!
