I am COMPLETELY DELIGHTED with this product. I learned of it a few days ago while reading Living to Tell the Tale, the personal memoir of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, tr. Edith Grossman, Knopf 2003; at p. 79:
[grandfather] Colonel Nicol??s Ricardo M??rquez Mej??a - - his grandchildren called him Papalelo... In the ritual bath at six in the morning, which in his final years he always took with me, we would pour water from the tank over ourselves with a calabash and finish by splashing on the Aqua Florida from Lanman & Kemps, which the smugglers from Cura??ao delivered by the case to the home, like brandy and shirts of Chinese silk. Once he was heard to say that it was the only scent he used because only the person wearing it could smell it, but he did not believe that again when someone recognized him on another person???s pillow. Another story that I heard repeated for years had to do with the night when the light had gone out and my grandfather poured a bottle of ink on his head thinking it was his Aqua Florida.
Perhaps L&K should sell bottles of ink also!
