They are different; they are an aqua colored cylinder and instead of having the perched owl on mortar trade mark, they just have the name written out. These actually come in three distinctly different sizes, this is the smallest size. Florida Water is a cologne or, is simply known as 'Cologne Water'. Florida water was super popular in the 1800's but the popularity died out in the early 20th Century. It had been used by both women and men alike. For example, even baseball teams used Florida Water as a refresher during the hot summer baseball season, where they would dip wet cloth in water, douse it with Florida Water, and applying it to pulse points for a cooling effect to the skin and body. Likewise women would use Florida Water as even Victorian era almanacs warned young women against the "offensive" impression made by a strong perfume, but Florida Water was recommended in place. Also Barber shops used Florida Water as a cologne and aftershave as it was also noted to be a skin toner or bracer, and it was also added to the bath water. Though Florida Water is much a product of the past, it is still in use today, in similar style bottles, much like this example here but put into new machine made screw top bottles. For the most part, Florida Water bottles all come in these tall slender aqua cylinder shaped bottles. This is an Owl Drug bottle that is not commonly found, check it out!
