Floral Water is a must-have for many friends in summer mosquito repellent. But when it comes to the English word "Fulushui", do you know what it is?
is really not Six God.
In fact, Liushen Hualu Water has its official name: Liushen florida water.
florida water
florida water, literally translated as "Florida water".
Wikipedia explains this:
Florida water is actually the American version of cologne (referring to perfumes containing various fragrances with a low concentration of flavors (usually between 2 and 5%)). It has the same citrus base as cologne, shifting the focus to sweet orange (rather than the lemon and orange flavor of the original cologne), and adds a slightly spicy aroma, including lavender and lilac . Literally, this name refers to the legendary Fountain of Youth located in Florida , and its trait with the attribute of "flower".
In terms of this translation, it actually classifies "Flower Water" as perfume and cologne as water agent cosmetics.
According to records, someone initially added a little lavender oil to medical disinfectant alcohol (its concentration is 75%), and then they invented what we call "Floral Water".
In European and American countries, floral water generally has a lavender fragrance. However, in my country, when floral water was introduced to my country, there was no lavender oil in China, so perfumers prepared a relatively easy-to-prepared rose musk essence and added it to 75% alcohol to prepare it into floral water. The floral water used in this method has been popular in my country for nearly a century. Later, it was improved into a series of "simplified" perfumes that we are now familiar with.
We call it "Hua Dew Water", and the word "Hua Dew" in it may be taken from Song Dynasty Ouyang Xiu's " Ruan Langgui·Nanyuan Spring Half Outing " "The flower dew is heavy, the grass smoke is low, and the curtains are hanging". "Flower dew" refers to the dewdrops on the flowers.
There is another saying about floral water:
toilet water
toilet water is actually a perfume, which contains a lower percentage of fragrance than ordinary perfumes or eau desserts. Therefore, if people name it from the degree of fragrance content of "Floral Water", they can also call it a toilet water.
A explanation about toilet water, you can read our previous article:
What is the toilet water that foreigners love to buy? It is really not toilet water, you will never imagine the real meaning!
Of course, people can also call it in terms of efficacy. For example, the editor searched several foreign shopping platforms and found that in fact, in addition to the fragrance attribute of "Floral Water", if we want to "repellent mosquitoes and relieve itchy", there is also the following statement.
Mosquito Repelllent
mosquito /mɒ'skiːtəʊ/ is a "mosquito", repelllent /rɪ'pel(ə)nt/ means "repellenthtml". mosquito repelent is mosquito repelent.
"Anti-itting" can be expressed as Itch relief .
itch /ɪtʃ/ n. Itch vi. Itchy
relief /rɪ'liːf/ n. Reduce, relieve
In addition to this bottled flower dew water, we often use spray heads to pack it. In English, it is:
spray means "spray; sprayer ".
About mosquitoes:
