toilet water
Diluted scented liquid
Toilet water is a lightly scented liquid applied to the skin after bathing—a diluted form of perfume.
The name comes from French *eau de toilette*, where toilette refers to grooming, not the bathroom fixture.
The term sounds comical to modern English speakers unfamiliar with its origin: She dabbed some toilet water behind her ears.
