But when most folks hear the name, they picture that unmistakable bottle from Murray \u0026amp; Lanman.

This fragrance blends Old World refinement with the raw, bright energy of the New World. Like the fabled waters it references, \u003ci\u003eAgua Dulce\u003c\/i\u003e is meant to rejuvenate and refresh, morning to night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFlorida Water has always carried a strange, nostalgic charm. Maybe you remember a glass bottle on a grandparent’s dresser, ever-present, rarely used. The cryptic label. A scent you instantly recognize, even if you never really studied it. That’s how I remember it too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAnd like any good myth, everyone remembers it a little differently. Some catch orange blossoms.

In the 19th century, perfumery was still considered a luxury, mostly worn by European aristocrats. In the young United States, fragrances were rare and typically reserved for the very wealthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBut Florida Water was different. Light, bright, and accessible, it quickly became a staple, especially in the humid South and out on the Western frontier. Picture settlers in covered wagons, leaving behind Missouri, Virginia, or Pennsylvania, bringing along a cherished bottle to help them stay fresh on the dusty trails of Arizona, Texas, or New Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eA practical luxury for both men and women, it was the kind of cologne you'd splash on to cool off, cut through the summer heat, and feel just a little more human.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAgua Dulce\u003c\/b\u003e channels that legacy, familiar, mysterious, and undeniably refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCUBE 2.0?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e - 8 ounces and 6 sides of solid otherworldliness. \u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e your everyday preshave. \u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e takes your shave to another dimension adding \u003cstrong\u003eextra protection\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehydration\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eslickness\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eglide\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Use it first to clean the face before you shave, then rinse. Then reapply the soap prior to whipping up lather: First in a circular motion, then against the grain. The soap gets under the hairs, slightly propping them up, giving the blade more surface area to \"bite\" on to. The glycerin acts as a humectant pulling more water into the hair, prepping and softening it, thus making it a bigger target to mow down!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"320\" width=\"419\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"Cube Preshave Soap\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/CUBE_Preshave_Soap_Activated_Charcoal_Phoenix_Shaving_large.jpg?v=1506271554\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUBE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe release of \u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e has been a long time coming.
