About the tradition
Florida Water is a light, floral cologne that emerged in early nineteenth-century America and spread quickly through Afro-Caribbean and Latin American spiritual traditions — Santería, Voudon, and Espiritismo — where it has been used for over two hundred years for spiritual cleansing, blessing, and offerings to ancestors and spirits. The name references the mythical "Fountain of Youth" once said to exist in Florida. Today it remains one of the most widely used spiritual waters in the Americas.
About the maker
Madame Phoenix has been a practicing occultist for over twenty-five years — witch, high priestess, and healer based in Canada. Her work sits at the intersection of traditional magical practice and modern craft, producing candles, incense, oils, and ritual tools used as companions for intention and ceremony. Each product is hand-made in small batches using earth-friendly, fair-trade, natural ingredients.
Care & Safety
Before first lighting, trim the wick to 1/4" and burn until a full wax pool forms across the surface (about two hours). After that, burn in 4–6 hour sessions, let the wax cool fully between lightings, and keep the wick trimmed throughout. Place the candle on a stable, heat-safe surface, away from pets, curtains, and anything flammable. If your candle holds a crystal or charm, it can stay embedded until the candle is finished — or be removed after the first burn by setting the jar in an inch of low-heat water until the wax melts.
