I entered "eau de toilette" into Google Translate and set French --> English.

It translates to "Toilet Water."

I didn't even pay attention to that when I snapped the pic. I just thought it was strange that a SitC product was being promoted to men.

I'm sure there are plenty of gay men who would love such a gift.

Maybe it's because I'm canadian and I have experience with french, but I find it funny that you needed Google to translate "eau de toilette".

French is a language we never need to know in America 😛 Spanish on the other hand all Americans need to know... or at least should 🙂

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eau_de_toilette

Eau de toilette is a lightly scented perfume used as a skin freshener.[1][2] It is also referred to as "aromatic waters" and has a high alcohol content.[3] It is usually applied directly to the skin after bathing or shaving.[4][5] It is considered a "weak" perfume.[6] Toilet water is defined as a dilute perfume.[7][8] It was originally composed of alcohol and various volatile oils.[9]
Toilet waters are usually named after a principal ingredient; some being Geranium Water, Lavender Water, Lilac Water, Violet Water, Spirit of Myrcia and 'eau de Bretfeld'.[10] Because of this "toilet water" is sometimes referred to as "flower water."[11] It is often used as a "body splash" that is applied liberally, especially after showering.

Not sure what popular brand I used in my younger days (teens-20s). But that was what I splashed after a nice shower, besides using
"Old Spice" after shaving. Smelled good for the ladies.

For my hair. 😀 But with a different packaging those days ('70s).

I don't know why you quoted me in this, the point I was making was that I knew what it meant and was surprised people in this thread were unfamiliar.

It makes sense that you are familiar with the term, as it is probably pretty much common knowledge for every single person throughout Europe.

It's actually a rarely-used phrase here, though I'm not sure about Canada; I rarely see it on most packaging here, and it's obviously not common knowledge otherwise for the average US citizen.

I probably would have learned of it later, the way I learned of the phrase was in my first French instruction in Junior High.
